Boris Johnson does have a Brexit plan, but you won't know what it is unless you pay attention to what i'm telling you.

Boris Johnson's Brexit plan is the same as it always was.
Use Brexit to get in Downing Street, and once there, abandon it.

You keep giving yourselves up to the fevers of the mob. It's constant now, a high-pitched shriek day after day. they're going for no deal. They're going to burn everything down.

And none of it's real. It's just you running around.

You spent two years running around screaming, Theresa may is going to do this, Theresa may is going to do that. And I kept telling you that all she was going to do was resign. because in the end that was all she could do.

Humans, honestly. Straight back into the same thing. They're going to go for no deal. The sky's going to fall on us, the plagues of Egypt, the death of the firstborn.

Everyone's addicted to the hysteria. Always the worst thing is going to happen.
The legal fact is that nobody can leave the European Union before October 31st. Four months.

And it's not just the time, it's the events that have to happen during that time. The Tories will elect a new leader. That new leader has to pass a vote of confidence and present a Queen's speech. With a majority by September of just 2.

But your one track fetish of calamity, you don't see any of this. You project the present onto the future, and you don't see any of the intervening events. How all those events are going to change the political dynamics.

There'll be a new Tory leader just before the summer holidays. Time for one confidence vote, and then it's either straight into a general election, or recess until September.
And in September it's an election anyway because they can't get a Queen's speech through.

So for all the howling and running around, we can't leave the European Union until October 31st, and there's going to be a general election before then.

And we know what's going to happen in that election. The SNP are going to win a majority in Scotland and claim the right to another independence referendum.
And in England the Lib Dems will hold the balance and claim a second European referendum.

And whoever forms a government after the election is probably going to have to accommodate at least one of those parties, and possibly both, to form a government.

In other words, exactly what I told you would happen when Theresa May resigned. The Tories are going to abandon Brexit because they're going to have to.

Either that or it's no more United Kingdom.
