Boris Johnson's Brexit deal has officially become UK law, paving the way for the country to leave the EU next week.


THE QUEEN has today given the Brexit Bill Royal Assent, finally passing the UK's withdrawal into law.


Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans announced the news this afternoon in the House of Commons.

Replace 'right-wing element' with 'rabid champagne socialist ignorant element' then you will be correct....

Perhaps you would like to explain exactly what you mean by "rabid champagne socialist ignorant element"?


I'm particularly interested in your definition of "ignorant", in this context.


Thanks.

I don't call a third of the electorate or a quarter of the population a majority (silent or otherwise). All the little Englanders have done is set this country up for decades of a bitter divide.

Anyone that doesn't agree with his xenophobic far right outlook basically.

Before we continue, could we make a minor adjustment to the thread title?


?Small minded little England xenophobes vs ultra privileged metropolitan champagne socialists still banging on about the EU referendum 3 1/2 years later?. Ah that?s better, do continue.

Many people who voted for this with such glee will pop their clogs before time.


Thus leaving the generations behind them scratching their heads.


Enjoy your moment.

"drop the pessimism and sign up to moving forward going forward. (or some other phrase)."


incorrect - when people face up to the reality of what this entails, then we can start coming together. As long as leavers continue to live in denial there is no hope. What you call pessimism and doom mongering is reality

Larry Elliot Chief Economics Editor of the Guardian no less has been an ardent Brexiteer well before the referendum. If only the left had embraced change rather than burying their heads in the sand we might have been spared this Johnson shambles of entitlement.


Larry Elliott ?The choice is simple: start putting together a post-Brexit progressive project or have a monster sulk and watch the Tories make the political weather.? That was the only choice for Labour post June 2016. They were told. Let?s hope they finally grasp it this time.

Didn't notice this but it's true.


EU rather miserable about signing the document whilst UK Government thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread is ominous to me.

Everything is going to depend on the trade deal. And we won't really know what kind of Brexit we have until those negotiations are finished. For now, nothing changes. But there are signals already from Downing Street that things like maternity leave and holiday pay are going to go. So the predicted attack on workers protections is definitely coming no matter what kind of trade deal we end up getting.

Sajid is getting confused


Today

"telling business leaders in Davos that he would not seek to move UK regulations away from those in the EU ?for the sake of divergence?."


Last week

?There will not be alignment, we will not be a rule-taker, we will not be in the single market and we will not be in the customs union.?

People seem to be pinning hopes on ?the trade deal?

Boris has ruled out extension - so no trade deal or very bare bones


But even with all the time in the world, uk won?t get a trade deal as good as it has now. It just won?t happen. It doesn?t have the leverage. And other countries won?t have it

This by Ian Dunt is all about trade deals. It may extinguish the hope....

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
