It would be odd to see them go back to the table at this stage. Just wondering if the 'threat' of no deal might see them waver. | |

If there was a workable majority in parliament I would imagine they would be more willing, but I expect they are planning on another deadline extension | |

As the only thing our government has said is that the back stop has to go, and this is non-negotiable for the EU there is little point in talking. There seem to be no other proposals being put forward by the UK. | | | |

So....the EU are refusing to renegotiate. on 17:12 - Aug 6 with 6415 views | Ewan_Oozami | Nope, Cummings' plan is to convince the EU that the UK is ready for a no-deal, thus harming the EU more than the UK - unfortunately what Cummings hasn't realised is the EU think this bunch of herberts in Government are a complete shower, and don't really take anything they say seriously, even if they won't say so publicly - the UK will blink first and claim it's all someone else's fault whatever happens. That's why I think the eyewatering amounts of money the UK is spending trying to prepare for no-deal will ultimately be wasted I reckon. [Post edited 6 Aug 2019 17:16]

So....the EU are refusing to renegotiate. on 17:12 - Aug 6 with 6406 views | Herbivore | There's nothing to negotiate. The UK has said that the backstop has to go entirely, but isn't putting forward any alternative plan. That leaves literally nothing to negotiate. Until we come up with a plan, which won't happen as the plan seems to be to just blame remainers and furreners, there really isn't anything the two sides can attempt to negotiate. | |

If we went back and offered a Norway-style relationship for 3-5 years to give us a chance of working out how to disengage more fully, they'd start talks rightaway. | | | |

I think it more likely they will come to a point where they say what is the point of the extensions? We keep getting them, going back in for another one and make no progress before simply asking for another one. I suspect any further extension will be on the basis we guarantee a second referendum, a general election or to accept the deal on the table. The last option can't get a majority in parliament and the other two would need one. | |

Talk about what though? The issues are the same as they've been all along and we're not offering any plan to address those issues. | |

Our position appears simply to be...look we are planning for No deal so youd better talk. | |

Boris' position in the media. However, they know as well as we do our Parliament will not allow no deal and that Johnson's word is about as good as an ashtray on a motorbike. | |

Except it's largely superficial stuff which can only run for a short period of time - e.g. buying up lamb and freezing it - the EU has been planning for no deal for rather longer. The UK effort seems purely for domestic consumption. The UK still seems to have failed to grasp the its economic strength relative to the EU, let alone to the USA, India, China et al.

I rather fear that the negotiating 'tactic' of 'give us what we want or we'll f*ck ourselves into the ground' may not be the sturdiest of positions. | |

It's a ridiculously stupid strategy when you take into account the fact that it'll f*ck us a lot harder than it will anyone in the EU. Even Ireland. | |

That's my point Herbs. We are simply saying 'talk' and offering no substance ergo no wonder the EU are not inclined to negotiate [Post edited 6 Aug 2019 19:22]
