    It would probably be easier to say what the 'economists' for free trade got right than wrong, or rather completely omitted from their forecast, I feel sorry for economists as it's numpties like them that give you a bad name. :(

    Meanwhile Grayling shows the same finesse in negotiations as he does in his day job...

    Real question. Was that one of those non flattering pic or were they really in "we f**ked up" mode?

    I would guess it's one of those unflattering pics as it seems they truly believe the plan they've cooked up, with only 6 months to go, is workable.

    Although I'm not sure if it's belief based on an almost child like understanding or belief that it doesn't really matter as its got a snowballs chance in hell of being adopted, that it's just something they can stand behind in the future and say 'if only'.

    Both, probably. Brexit will be a turd sandwich, but rather than concede that they were wrong, they will continue to cling to the idea that it could have been wonderful if only it had been done right.

    RedFlames: "This must be the stupidest thing Grayling has ever come up with..."
    Grayling: "Hold my beer."

    Yup. You know Brexit is in trouble when politicians start proposing to bribe the electorate into supporting it.

    Nah, i've no doubt flailing grayling can and will plumb the depths of just how dumb a man can be without earning a darwin award.


    Parliament is very much 'survival of the thickest' atm.

    And meanwhile Gove claims:

    Nothing improves the chances of a deal quite like promising in advance that you have no intention of following said deal on your end.

    (not like it matters too much as Chequers won't ever be accepted by the EU)

    It was the same with the December sort-of agreement...

    HMG Agreed to it then you had Davis et al. on TV highlighting in detail all the ways they intended to welch on the agreement at the earliest opportunity.

    Yeah but the delusional bunch will say it's because more people are buying electric and that they'll move some aspects of production to the EU to scaremonger...

    Pretty much all I hear is "everything works now it'll work the same or better". No. No it won't.

    It's not about the economics according to Mr Brexit, he said it's about politics, that we have voted to run our own country, for better or worse, richer or poorer, ‘til death do us part.

    Apparently no one cares about the economics, no one believes the economics. This is simple, it’s not about him saying we’d be better off or you saying we’d be worse off, it’s about do we govern our own country or don’t we?

    There will be a great Brexit opportunity for the enterprising car manufacturer who can develop car engines that run on denial.

    I hear it's clean, renewable energy.
