So Boris Johnson keeps repeating this rubbish that the #Brexit transition period will not be extended beyond the end of 2020

A few little reminders...

2️⃣7️⃣9️⃣

The number of days between the referendum and triggering #Article50 to start the exit process

6️⃣0️⃣6️⃣

The number of days between triggering Article 50 and Theresa May agreeing a Withdrawal Agreement with the EU

3️⃣3️⃣1️⃣

The number of days between the Withdrawal Agreement being agreed in Brussels, and the House of Commons finally voting for the 2nd Reading of Withdrawal Agreement Bill

And that was just the Withdrawal Agreement - that concerned really only three things:
👨‍💼👱‍♀️ Citizens' rights
💶 Budget contributions
🇮🇪🇬🇧 Border in Ireland

The future relationship concerns a lot more

And yes...

Wait for it...

3️⃣8️⃣4️⃣

Days between the day after #GE2019 and the end of the transition period.

In which the UK's future trade relationship with the EU has to be agreed.

According to Boris Johnson.

Not

A

Hope

2️⃣7️⃣3️⃣4️⃣

Days between the start of negotiations between 🇪🇺 & 🇨🇦 for Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), and signing it.

Yes, that's not a typo there. Two thousand seven hundred and thirty four.

That means EITHER the Brexit transition period is going to have to be extended, OR Johnson is going to have to find himself another ditch somewhere along the way, OR the UK is going to be crashing out at the end of 2020.

Take your pick.
