No deal is catastrophically idiotic, but if that's what it would take to settle this then that's what we should do. If people knowingly vote no deal then so be it. (I think labour's plan is best, but if it's a choice between no 2nd ref, and 2nd ref with no deal option, then gently caress it let's try that)

Loser's consent is really, really important and right now they don't have it. We also wouldn't have it if A50 is simply revoked.

The NI peace process is incredibly fragile and has suffered badly at the hands of Sinn Fein and the DUP, who both favour entrenched sectarian politics over building a post-conflict working solution in NI.

Hard to build a post-conflict solution when both sides have every reason to perpetuate the conflict. Can't wait until the Brits make America start directly supporting the IRA again.

People are asking for Boris to recall parliament so they can do things again, but the last sentence seems to make clear that parliament was never suspended, so they should just meet and start doing parliament stuff.

However in order to do so they need to move the mace into place, so the entire thing boils down to convincing the Sarjeant-at-arms to return it

While all this is happening and all these people now calling for BoJo to resign, Boris’s Brexit envoy is in Brussels negotiating

https://twitter.com/PaulLewis/status/1171744318236823552?s=20

Apparently the rumor going around is that they may revive the idea of having the customs union border in the Irish Sea. The DUP was against this before, but now it seems that there may be enough Labour and rebel Tory votes for this pass in the House of Commons. So the EU was pushing for that option. But Bojo might not be the prime minister in a few days to decide on this, and there’s no parliament around to approve it even if he did so lol

BoJo is on the phone to Sinn Fein MPs trying to get them to take their seats so they can vote for a deal which technically reunites Ireland

I am still holding out hope that BoJo calls up Trump to tell him how handsome he is and everyone says it except the damned Irish, so maybe the US should invade Ireland with the UK for this outrage and the UK can reannex it all.
