Brexit and the waning days of the United Kingdom

It looks patronising and insulting to me; but I'm an old git and not their target audience 

Yeah, I don't think anyone actually self identifies as any of those things.

David Davis: The closer we are to no deal, the better the chance of a good deal

The former Brexit secretary David Davis has urged Theresa May to further delay the "meaningful vote" on her proposed Brexit deal in order to increase pressure on the EU and MPs.

The vote was originally due in December, but was delayed when it became clear the prime minister's proposals would be rejected. It is now due in the week beginning 14 January.

Writing in The Daily Telegraph, Mr Davis said it could be put back again if the parliamentary numbers remain against the PM.

He also suggested the EU would offer a better agreement than the one currently on the table if the UK looked like crashing out without a deal - because it would be worried about missing out on the £39bn divorce payment that has been negotiated.

[...]

He added: "We know that the EU is worried about the loss of the £39bn 'divorce' payment if there is no deal... so this is the moment to be hard-nosed about these issues.

"The more we prepare to leave the EU without a deal, the more likely a good deal becomes."

Does he really believe that or is it just a ploy to reach his unstated goal of a no deal Brexit?

The EU should really just wait until Brexit has happened, the consequences become noticeable and only then return to the negotiating table. This Tory government is obviously not a serious partner for negotiations as they renege on previous agreements and have no parliamentary majority. Seems to be a waste of time and resources until there is a significant change in Britain.

Binge gamers, maybe.  But is it really binging if you do it all the time?

Isn't the divorce bill supposed to cover the spending Britain already agreed to spend before the Brexit vote?

I like how these idiots want to be major wheelers and dealers of the world but are perfectly OK with publicly disregarding and and all commitments they earlier made.

David Davis is a backbench MP now, he is of no consequence. His stock has even fallen with the Tory party membership.

The "divorce bill" rhetoric should be a clear warning to any voter of average intelligence or above. These are legal commitments that would require going full North Korea to renege on. He is simply lying or so thick that he needs to be sent to a care home.

Ah yes - the old pull the pin on the hand grenade negotiating ploy.

Yep.
They've no fucking clue how trade works.

I believe the point is to tell: "show those idiots who think so little of you who you truly are".

Temporarily. It worked all out in the end, and she got to strangle the fat bloated pile of corruption.
