Ok, what juicy stuff have we got in return? Must be pretty amazing to make up for it.

Exactly - white skinned 'dodgy foreigners' will simply be replaced with brown skinned 'very dodgy foreigners' that they'll be even more angry about.

Muppets.

Crazy thing is most of them want rid of Muslims and have been led to believe its the EU's fault that they are here...

I’ve had a few beers I’ll admit but I’d just like to wish you all a very merry Christmas. It’ll be remembered for all the wrong reasons and we may not all see eye to eye on the current issues the world faces however this place has been invaluable to me over the last 8 months or so.

I’ve learnt things, I’ve laughed and most of all I’ve felt a part of something.

I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2021.

Peace and Love

Joe

You too! I'd like to second that also after a couple of beers -  we all have our disagreements and differences but this is the best and only place to have these discussions in this way. We all want the best for the country, all baffled at the political bullshit and uniquely all have the same end goal that we want to see (Glastonbury), which will only happen when the pandemic is properly handled and dealt with.

And @steviewevie apologies for the multiple quotes 😂 had them queued to reply earlier and forgot

+39k cases, testing numbers are HUGE today (over 500k, presumably lots of people getting pre Christmas tests).

Positivity rate still sits about 8% though which isn’t good.

Deaths are luckily down on yesterday.

"Australian-style terms"- shameless 'journalism'

Starmer has lost that election then. Nobody will care by then- there arent enough who are passionate enough to want to change the deal, not that it would matter as he's guaranteed the brexit crowd to vote for the Tories again in the hope it will be "upgraded" for them to no deal at all, when maybe they would have found a different issue

I sometimes wonder about these "opposition" leaders you know...

This is some very relevant politics news for @Wellyboot

So frictionless trade not protected then. Which suggests to me plenty more border chaos (at least in the short term).

[steviewevie]

So, when Boris Johnson says there will be no non-tariff barriers, he is lying.

[zahidf]

Is Larry the reason the fish things been taking so long? He made it top priority.

This “journalism” from Kuenssberg is a disgrace https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55429840

How the “oven ready deal” election pledge is swept aside and Boris praised for negotiating a deal that was apparently ready last year is such a disgrace. Spinning this as some kind of positive for Johnson and his premiership is a helluva propaganda job. This government can get away with murder. And that’s no longer just a turn of phrase...

It was never a turn of phrase, given the number who've suffered/are still fighting unbelievably ridiculous PIP assessments.

Merry Christmas for tomorrow everyone.

And Merry Christmas for today everyone (if you're continental or antipodean).
