So let me get this straight. In desperation to appease Napoleon Macron, Johnson will use British taxpayers' money to Covid-test non-British, especially French, drivers on British soil, so that they can return to France?
telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/…>
Clearly a master negotiator!
Talking of master negotiators.....
Johnson offers to halve the amount by which Britain wants the EU's fishing catch from UK waters reduced, yet #EU still rejects his offer.
Why? B/c it knows he's so desperate, he can be pushed to go even further.
FFS, take his phone away!
Current EU fishing catch from UK waters ~82% of total.
Instead of sticking to wanting it reduced to only ~32% & over mere 3 years, Johnson offered a reduction only to ~55% & over 5 years, not 3.
And still the #EU rejected it.
Withdraw his latest offer, and walk away. Now.
The #EU trade deal still being discussed offers UK only very modest trade benefits, more than offset by damaging restrictions on our freedom of action in the regulatory & other spheres. For the cost, it's just not worth having.

via @Briefings_Brit
From the 'divorce' bill, though the WA's NI Protocol, via fishing, to future trading arrangements, the UK has got itself to be cornered by the #EU at every turn. We risk getting virtually nothing from this trade deal while the #EU gets everything it wants.
briefingsforbritain.co.uk/everything-is-…
Macron's neo-Napoleonic Continental blockade, ostensibly b/c of the Covid mutation, may well be his last desperate throw of the dice in the Brexit endgame.
briefingsforbritain.co.uk/the-new-contin…
Express reports Johnson caved in to #EU on fishing, agreeing to it reducing its % catch by only 25%, not 60%, & over 5½ yrs, not 3. If so, it still be entitled to ~60% of fish in UK waters at minimum.
If true, then he has repeated Heath's betrayal of 1972.

Can't help feeling the 'could lead to a new, harsher, debt system' argument is just Johnson's excuse to break his promise.
The really simple answer would be to announce the definite abolition of the 'licence-fee' as part of the 2022 mid-period review of the current Charter.
But this would require some promise-keeping & political courage, both of which appear sadly lacking in Johnson's administration, and quite possibly also in his own psyche.
If an allegedly 'Conservative' government, despite a parliamentary majority of 80, won't even abolish an illiberal regressive tax, paid via the coercion even of folk who don't want to consume the product that it funds, then what's the point of a 'Conservative' government at all?

All part of plan.
1/ Ignore deadlines, spin EU talks out to last minute.
2/ Cancel Xmas for Tier 4 lockdown, b/c 'lethal' Covid mutation.
3/ Thereby provoke EU states to block travel/borders.
4/ Use Covid-caused 'import chaos' as excuse to cancel Brexit.
We're being played
#COBRA
"EU-wide travel ban in wake of Covid mutation........ferries, trains and freight lorries have been banned"

Which will of course seriously affect imports.
Despite so close to exit from Brexit Transition, the timing is of course pure coincidence, isn't it?
A PM with balls would now decide we don't need the distraction of continuing talks with a vengeful, intransigent & obstructive EU, abandon them for no-deal, & concentrate all our resources on ameliorating Covid mutation effect on ports & imports.

So Comrade Commissar Drakeford, Leader of the Welsh-Labour Politburo, won't pledge to get all kids back into full-time education, even by end-September.
He's nothing but a willing puppet of the lefty teaching unions on whose support he depends.
He's a disgrace and should resign.

This is just madness. @DCBMEP would have been ideal for NW Norfolk.
And yet it's now confirmed that one of the chosen three, Lisa Townsend, was actually (maybe still is?) a stalwart of the #EU-fanatic European Movement.

What is CCHQ doing?
#GE2019
@DCBMEP Too many cases like this for it to just be coincidence.
Now even Tory MPs asking angry questions about CCHQ candidate selection.
"lots of special advisers on shortlists, and many more poor but [well]-connected candidates"
newstatesman.com/politics/uk/20…
@DCBMEP Why is it that staunch Brexiteer Tory MPs like @andreajenkyns & @lucyallan with vulnerable majorities feel they're being left to struggle by CCHQ, while favoured Party-insiders & carpet-baggers aren't?
newstatesman.com/politics/uk/20…
This feels orchestrated, & it's beginning to smell.

1/12
In June 2015, a constitutionally legitimate Parliament decided, by 544 votes to 53 that a binary In/Out, expressed as Remain/Leave, referendum be held on Britain’s #EU membership
2/12
In June 2016, by a majority of over 1 million, and in the biggest democratic mandate for one specific policy in UK political history, the electorate voted in that referendum to Leave.
3/12
That vote to Leave was not qualified in any way,
It was not subject to any conditions.
It was not a vote to Leave only partially.
It was not a vote to Leave in name only,
It was not a vote to leave but only subject to a deal.
It was a vote to just Leave. Full stop.

Vital to remember that, even if May’s gone as PM by tonight, we’d still have same Cabinet that was prepared to back her #BrexitBetrayal at every stage, from #Chequers onwards.
Her going is only the pre-condition for the change that's needed: it *isn't* the change by itself.
Even if May is no longer PM by tomorrow morning, that's still no reason to vote @Conservatives in #EUElections2019.
Most of the Cabinet/Govt aren't ditching her b/c they violently disagree with her BRINO, only b/c they're worried she'll get them thrashed by the @brexitparty_uk.
@brexitparty_uk Even if May gone, we almost certainly still have ardent Remainer Lidington as stopgap Acting PM, + May-ite Brexit-as-damage-limitation, i.e., soft as possible, still dominant in Cabinet, several of whom would be vying for PM.
Zero reason not to still vote for the @brexitparty_uk.
