Meeting today

The Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is confident that a Brexit deal can now be reached before the October deadline after meeting with Boris Johnson.

Leo Varadkar described the three-hour meeting with his British counterpart as "very positive and very promising" and a new round of negotiations will begin in Brussels tomorrow.

Speaking to reporters in Liverpool airport, Mr Varadkar said: "We agreed not to get into the details of any task or discussions.

"But on the timeline question, I think it is possible for us to come to an agreement to have a treaty agreed to allow the UK to leave the EU in orderly fashion and to have that done by the end of October.

It remains our position that there can't be a hard border between North and South.

"We must continue to have a situation whereby the all-island economy can continue to deepen and function well."

I'm interested about what is he going to do with regards a deal with the DUP for a Irish boarder after brexit. Last thing I want to see is the return of the troubles with the new IRA.

Its never going to be a Vermin free zone 

... another £87m spent on ferry contracts 🤦🏻‍♂️

BBC News - UK pays £87m for no-deal Brexit ferry contracts

... putting the Great back into Britain ...

What's insane is we're still really only on the first couple of paragraphs of page 1 of the story of Brexit.

The real negotiating, syphoning of public money, cuts and carving up of the country is yet to come.

Still, it's all going to turn around for the poor and working class any day now.


Don't get me wrong, we're still fortunate to live in a relatively stable/safe country, but it'd be nice not to be trapped on Austerity Island for the rest of my life.


I just f*cking hate the Tories.

So the UK can't get medicines pharmaceutical drugs into the UK by lorries taking normal ferries after Brexit but they let in tonnes of cocaine, heroin and other illegal drugs each year, no problem.

I presume these Ferry contracts will be for magic ferries which only allow vehicles transporting pharma drugs and medicines to and from the continent. It all looks like a big scam to me. Same as the constant over ordering N H S supplies which are unused and sold for pennies to the pound and are exported for a big profit by people with the right contacts.

Wont be happening this side of christmas, if ever

All much more likely than Corbyn becoming PM

Corbyns the one whose toast they are already teeing up the successor probably the worst opposition leader certainly in my lifetime an absolute idiot.

Most attacked and maligned, but by far the best person for the job. Ill wait and see, i dont see how it is realistic to call this next election any more. There are more potential outcomes than there are make this yourself Blue Peter projects. Just got to hope common sense will prevail in the election. We know the disaster of letting BOJO the clown back in, assuming he isnt in jail or something by then. Far rage is a nutter and has no chance, lib dems, are on the way to having more tory MP's than the torys and have pitched themselves against brexit whilst simultaneously increasing the chances of Bojo tryin to slip a no deal past, so no one knows what the fuck they are on/about at this stage. Greens, i wish, but er no. 

Labour want to sort out the country and rebalance things, want to see what deal they CAN get and then ask the people if that is "the will of the people" now, not 3+ years ago. 

Dont be so sure the result wont eventually come down to the utterly undemocratic liar, cheat and possibly fraudster that is BOJO the failed clown, or the opportunity for a better future and more control. 

Still think the youth vote is going to come as a real shock to some people. Just hope it isnt me! 

This shit is another reason an election is going to be to tough to call. This basically represents the mindset of the torys and of course far rage {probably also sponsored by both, not that i know that), who really wants to vote and say they believe in this shit, outside of the legit racist loons. The loons will be easy fired up, but surely it will put a lot more voters off than it will turn on. 

Outdated, vile and unacceptable to most people these days. Horrible people boosted mainly by the loudness of their own voices. 

i was referring to brexit

corbyn can eat poo poo
