So we're going to drop out of everything and directly approach the Venetians and the Hanseatic League, dangling our fine wools in front of them as bait? Jesus.
I'm sure the Medici bank can loan us the necessary. It's nor as if the country has ever caused them problems before.
I hope the Treasury is preparing for a No Deal Brexit, because that's what we're getting unless Davis, Fox and Johnson are sacked and Hammond takes over negotiations.
It would also be consistent with the theory that elements within the government WANT to engineer a no-deal stalemate which they can blame on the foreigns for political gain.
Easiest way is to sack Johnson, or move him to party chairman or something. Davis could be Foreign Secretary, and somebody like Greg Clark put into Dexeu. Clark did the talks with carmakers earlier and was sane enough to ensure them.
Whether they are still reassured, is a different question.

That's certainly possible. Notable that the one who wants a deal most is the money man, Hammond.
I don't know how long they can do the "foreigners and remainers" schtick for, really. There was probably a snap election win in it, but they can't pull that one again.

With the repeal bill, there's been a fair bit of talk about the rule of law. Enter Richard Burgon to screw up an interview about unions obeying the law. I'm not bothered what McCluskey said, he can speak for his union as he sees fit. But the Lord Chancellor (who Burgon is shadowing) takes an oath to uphold the law. Basic stuff.
