Totally reassuring exchange in DExEU committee just now. Benn: "No one, including yourself, can know what is going to happen after 1st November?" Gove: "Um....Er.......The future is known only to the Almighty." Benn: "Well, he is not a witness before the committee today."
that sums up no clue brexit.

I was watching the news at lunchtime and they were interviewing an EU official by the name of Lambert, I think he’s from Belgium. He was talking about the Brexit negotiations. He said, nothing was taking place and referred to Boris Johnson as a liar because he was claiming negotiations were ongoing.

I think Lambert is correct, but what times we live in when an official from the EU has cause and justification to label the British Prime Minister a liar on National News.

To be fair Mr Barnier said he had a six-hour meeting with UK negotiator David Frost. I can't see them talking about the weather for six hours. Barnier did say the talks were in a state of paralysis.

Equally to be fair a lot of the time was probably taken up with Frost Screaming and begging for some clue as to what Barnier wouldn't laugh at.
And to be completely fair Frost failed with commendable speed compared to how long it took Boris to do that yesterday!

Did he remember to try
"Please Sir, can I have some more?"

Is begging for scraps classed as negotiating these days?

No clue is better than a bad clue :p :p :p .
Not when you are in the pilot's seat it isn't! and this clown is in an equivalent situation.
How on earth can you be pleased?
If you "knew what you were voting for" with Brexit,
Why are you trusting someone without a clue with the job and making a virtue of it?
That is completely nuts!

if you were in Barnier's shoes, would you rather offer to Bojo a new deal or wait for him to make a fool of himself for exaggerating progress in the talk to his folks at home?

I would be wetting myself laughing...as I'm sure he was after the vote in the HOC.
If I remember correctly the EU said the same sort of thing about Mrs May and she marched up to him and he denied it. I don't believe any of them on either side.

Edit...….
Forgotten something, Michel? Barnier red-faced after awkward no deal footage emerges
MICHEL BARNIER appears to have misspoken when he claimed that Theresa May never threatened Brussels with a no deal Brexit, as footage has emerged of the EU’s chief negotiator nervously relating exactly such an occasion at an EU Brexit meeting last year.
