Yep. That's a thing. View it on Twitter itself if the image doesn't work.

Must have been quick as I saw it about 10 mins ago. It was a picture of Angela Merkel with the caption "we didn't win two World Wars to be pushed around by a Kraut". Tweet was by Leave.EU

So that's 2.1% poorer over 15 years with May's deal to 6.7% with Boris'.

And Labour rebels look set to vote for this.

So that's the extension until the end of Jan accepted. The Government have pulled their own Brexit bill to prevent further scrutiny on it and are seeking an early election instead where they will likely win a majority by sweeping up the Brexit Party votes, before ploughing the bill through Parliament in the new year. And the Lib Dems/SNP are going to hand it to them on a platter.

Watching the DUP MPs give angry speeches about how much extra bureaucracy will be created by the current bill which will keep Northern Island in the single market whilst the rest of the UK leaves during the transition period. They actually are utter morons aren't they. There is zero Brexit option available that will not result in more border checks and bureaucracy in some place apart from staying in the single market, which they are strongly opposed to.
