I love it how you seamlessly move from conceding the point to a new fairy tale that comforts you.

I often wonder if they can seriously, honestly be this incompetent, or if they all know they're stuck between a rock and a hard place and are simply running out the clock while making vague excuses because that's all a life in politics has trained them to do.
End of the day, either they'll reach a deal at the 11th hour (almost certainly an unpleasant one for the UK), or more likely default to hard Brexit because they couldn't get their shit together. But no matter what there will either be a border or there won't. Either the Brexiteers get the shaft or Ireland does.
I don't know how it could be more clear, May gambled on a bigger majority in the election and lost everything, now she's dependent on the DUP that makes her incapable of negotiating Brexit because she can't push for an Irish border. Which only leaves the other option, which is to be in the EU in all but name, which infuriates the actual Brexiteers.
If they want Brexit to mean Brexit, ironically the only path forward is to boot May and elect a government that will commit to an Irish border (either Tories with an increased majority or Labour). If anyone is willing to push that as a policy. But I'm guessing they aren't.
GG no re, basically.
The flu vaccine has been split in two age groups for the first time in the UK this year. The reason for shortages of the Fluad vaccine is down to EU incompetence in giving type approval to it in a timely fashion as we approach winter. It is as though the fact that winter is coming took the EU by surprise.
If UK pensioners die this winter it will be the fault of the EU and remainers that vote to stay within it.

She isn't still pushing that Chequers zombie is she?
I suppose the court case on Article 50 could be useful political cover, but really I doubt Britain would have any problems reversing A50 if it so chose. The EU would be quite happy with that outcome I imagine, we all know the rules can be bent if both sides want them to be.
I've always thought enacting A50 so soon was an early blunder, that thing was pretty much the UK's only bargaining chip.

I'm sure you can afford more vaccine with your new 350 million pounds per week in the NHS.
Oh wait, that was a lie.
Yes, because it's the EU that the NHS ordered the vaccine late, because of a new jab, right? See, this is what tools like you do. You fuck up, then you blame the EU for your fuckup. Consider this a preview of next year's season. Btw, the fun bit? Your order has to be in by March for a delivery in time for flu season. So... tick tock, baby. Wait it out. Because nobody on mainland Europe is going to even consider a sale until your little game is over and everyone knows what's what.

More quality reality slap to brexiteers from the three blokes. Which since it mostly talks about medical side of things seems like a nice coincidence for it to have been posted up on youtube same time we have NHS talk.
They've mentioned problems in the medical sector a few times, I'm glad they're now diving deep into those issues.

The EU are going to get what they don't want unless they compromise. Their current position means a hard border and a no deal is almost inevitable.
The Brexit secretary is privately pushing for a no-deal Brexit

Hours until what is being said privately is said publicly?

Legally the EU can't compromise. WTO rules basically means a hard border has to be somewhere. They can't put it between Europe and Ireland. That means either between Ireland and Northern Ireland or in the Irish sea. (Or thirdly May stops being dumb and keeps UK within customs union and single market and put it stays where it is.)
Well its not Mays choice, that is down to the government and with cross party support (Except the Lib Dem) there will not be a UK imposed hard border. They will have to put the Irish border in Calais and why not? It is an EU created and manufactured problem after all, no EU = no problem.
Here is one Labour MPs take on it all.
Kate Hoey: I Won’t Vote For A Brexit Deal That Panders To The Irish Government’s Hypocrisy

Much of what she says is quite right too, never thought I would say that....Looks like remainers are still down to that one man army Sir Vince Cable.

It's not a EU made problem. The Irish border will be to Northern Ireland. You can deal with the Troubles 2.0 on your own. What your MPs think is going on is absolutely irrelevant as far as the EU is concerned. You have two options: You comply with EU conditions or you get boxed in by the WTO. The EU will comply with the WTO regulations. The EU will keep the integrity of the European Union intact. The UK is a remote third of the considerations. And the EU will not solve your problems for you. You wanted to be sovereign. So, be sovereign. But nice attempt blaming the EU for your own fuckup once more. Pathetic loser...

Some kind of draft deal seems to be agreed. By way Bojo is crying it's obviously one thing. May caved in hard.
UK and EU negotiators agreed that there will be a UK-wide "backstop" if they fail to negotiate a trade deal that negates the need for border checks on the island of Ireland before the end of the two-year Brexit transition period.
The backstop will take the shape of a UK-wide customs union with the EU, with Northern Ireland sticking to some of the European single market. This would guarantee no border checks between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
However, the backstop is not set to come with a fixed end-date, as demanded by pro-Brexit MPs. Instead, it will come with a "review clause" for deciding when it can come to an end. Brexiteers are concerned that this arrangement will leave the UK trapped in a customs union with the EU for years to come, unable to sign new free trade deals.
Just what you wanted, Dribs! Congratulations!
Nothing to see here...yawn...
It is very possible remainer May has had her Chamberlain moment. Without a unilateral UK clause to end the backstop will it get through cabinet and parliament? No chance. No deal is another day closer eurochums, wake me up when you have something new.

How rich are you @dribbles?
You're seriously that rich that you will be able to absorb the economic impact of no deal?
You do understand that the rest of us aren't that wealthy?
You do understand that the rest of us, possibly, might be a little upset at the prospect of being less well off because of no deal?
No deal is the sole luxury of: super-rich right-wingers, racist pensioners on triple-locked pensions, and the very poor. Yes, this is more or less the 52% who voted Leave.
The minority views of BJ, Farage, Rees-Mogg, Carswell, Davis, etc. and all those other slathering, rabid fucktards are not those of the sane majority.
I will fight, with every breath in my body, a no deal.
You can't really dust for vomit.
