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....

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
