Will need it. But as others have commented, the Opposition will likely abstain.AFAIK the deal doesn't have to pass parliament in the UK, right?

I wish I could do that in my job....This will be another "We voted Yes on the deal but didn't actually read it" situation where Tories come out in a few months going "Oh we had no idea about X and Y in this deal!" just like the WA.
Gove also said...Michael Gove said once upon a time, just agree to whatever, we will change it later so yeah.
The WA was 50 pages and they didn't read it. This is easily gonna be 1000 pages so i doubt anyone of them will read it within the remaining 3 weeksThis will be another "We voted Yes on the deal but didn't actually read it" situation where Tories come out in a few months going "Oh we had no idea about X and Y in this deal!" just like the WA.
Definitely not. They'll read the bits that they know will piss off their voters most though, then vote for it anyway and pretend they didn't read those bits..The WA was 50 pages and they didn't read it.

Really didn't think they'd go for a last-minute deal. Was 100% certain they are crashing deliberately. Biden's election might have made a last-minute deal more likely, I guess.
Really hoping people can push through the grueling austerity to come in the UK. Jesus.
Grateful right now for Biden pushing on Ireland. God only knows if Trump won

It might still fail.Really didn't think they'd go for a last-minute deal. Was 100% certain they are crashing deliberately.
If Trump had won the US House would have blocked a UK-US trade deal if the GFA was breached by the UK, so I guess the main differentiating factor would be how long it would take Johnson and his idiot cabinet to realise that. If they're realised it quickly enough, that might have pushed them to make a deal with the EU just as much as Biden's win did in real life. I would not have been surprised, though, if they'd spent years negotiating a trade deal with the US only to be shocked when it was shot down in the House in 2023 or something.Grateful right now for Biden pushing on Ireland.

I don't know how he BS his way through accepting a level playing field and other EU rules and oversight or from the other side, how they would accept divergence etc. with free trade. That's why I'm still 50/50 on a deal happening.
I suppose it could all end up as some holding pattern deal where the UK could theoretically do things differently than the EU in 5-10 years but never does but then leads to why these cretins wanted Brexit to happen anyway so they may still torpedo the deal to get no deal.
No tariffs, customs and rules of origin i imagine.
*Fish that the brits dont like eating (the fish they like mostly comes from EU)Car industry, farmers and financials might be fucked but atleast there will be enough fish
I wanna know more about the business case for Hambach.
No prizes for working it out yourselves. I want them to say it.

Just throwing it out there but they'd have a say if the nine counties rejoined the Republic of Ireland...
Essentially a permenant EU embassy in NI, obviously Boris doesn't want to admit that and will try to spin it another way.
My bad. 9 counties of Ulster, I forgot Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal all joined Ireland.
I think they've missed an opportunity here. The UK side, to save face, should be pushing this as an embassy. An embassy is a normal thing for one sovereign entity to place inside the territory of another, for administrative and diplomatic purposes, not to interfere in day-to-day government-run operations there. If this space in NI had been labelled an embassy, that should give an impression of something totally normal within the area of inter-state relationships. Especially so if it's a mini-embassy. That sounds even friendlier and less threatening. Mini-embassy, probably they only have like a receptionist and a coffee machine and a few leaflets and they close early on Fridays."Not a mini embassy"
Its just a permanent place where the EU officials can work and fix stuff in a permanent basis
Really this space is not going to be an embassy. It will house EU officials who will be monitoring and inspecting the trade border between GB and NI, and reporting their findings back to Brussels for the EU to decide whether it needs to intervene. That's absolutely not a normal part of inter-state relationships. By saying that this isn't an embassy, the UK make that more obvious.
