But this if accepted still means May's deal except for the backstop, a deal that was totally rejected on various grounds, especially by the Tory right.
How come it's ok now?

Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date

Needs must when the Devil Drives, remember?
Though he does go an about wanting free trade with the EU...fat chance!
The other liar exposed
One of the very few possible benefits of brexit is reduced HGV traffic through the UK - as you imply, Dover to Liverpool, and Holyhead, Fishguard, Pembroke Dock. Of course, Kent being a lorry park might reduce the appeal somewhat.
So back to this...
Parliament to be prorogued next Tuesday

Note:
Already, however, opposition parties have raised concerns.
A source told the BBC that Boris Johnson was trying to avoid Prime Minister's Questions and Parliamentary scrutiny.

that's after 2025. Until then, NI stays in the SM. If there is a deal, there will be customs check from 2012.
because the conservatives accept that the blow to the economy would be much reduced with an implementation period, they'll get brexit done if they have a deal. Their real prize is to leave the customs union to avoid or reduce import duty on goods (Dyson), food (British Sugars) and drinks (Wetherspoons). If they kill some of our producers in the process then ...
This is madness when they intend to sell very much more to the wider world yet we have such a lack of producers of tangible things to sell.
Johnson and his allies don't seem able to see beyond the end of their noses.
.
Why should they? they only represent a select group, not this nation, and they can see all they need to for that, after all they have to means to "Exit stage left" when the proverbial hits the fan.
What they are engaged in is a closing down sale, and retiring on the proceeds.
Thank you for your vote.
The reason we are leaving is because of people like yourself.
Sensible people.
Indeed, it would not be all good. Despite being near both Pembroke Dock and Fishguard, I don't think it would make that much difference. (Though it might reduce the likelihood of the A40 being improved - as it needs to be for safety.)
But the motorways (and other roads) from Dover to Holyhead and Liverpool might be nicer to drive.
Do you own a fuel magnetiser? It a little magnet which clips onto the fuel pipe feeding the engine in your car. It magnetises the fuel. Magnetised fuel give you an extra 33% MPG and reduces emissions by 47%. I can sell you one for £56 and it will pay for itself in no time at all.
I genuinely believe magnets are the future.
Imagine a tube under the Ocean. A giant magnetic tube. Getting from Cornwall to new York in three hours. Minimum emissions. Total comfort and safety.
This world was born and exists thanks to the iron catastrophe. We are ferrous. We should embrace this marvel.
I have a shitty Corsa. It's a runaround. I don't even drive it tbh. It's for the wife. Fuel costs are less than a score a week.
But once I move to my Brexit house I might buy a decent car. Leastways a bigger one. I will need to as my son gets to two and my daughter is born. They will want to play football and cricket and he will want to go to ballet classes probably.
So when that happens I will give you a shout.
But it's mates rates and I won't go above a bullseye.
There's (almost) miniature fusion reactors to sell to the world...
Brexit puts Europe's nuclear fusion future in doubt
It's a horrible thing for me to say. Especially as I've spent so much time in northern Ireland but I wish it was just Ireland or all of it was UK.
Northern Ireland is distinct though. Very different from Ireland. Well Belfast is compared to Dublin.
Come and join us. **** of the EU. We will look after you. You are more similar to us than Belgium or Italy.
Yeah.
The keyword is might.
The main sentence is we have the tech.
Same as Galileo. It's basically our knowledge.
I bet we have built a backdoor in it anyway.
Another thing we will get for free once we leave.
Brexit!
Make sure you get a North magnetiser. (The South magnetisers increase fuel consumption by 33% and emissions by 47%.)

What we absolutely flat out cannot afford is a UK satellite navigation system. On top of more and more money for everything the opinion polls suggest might make a difference to BJ's prospects.
