Except of course that the UK is the one in the position of strength in the negotiations, and the Coronavirus induced economic crisis merely enhances that position.

Those German car makers are doubtless hammering on Frau Merkel's door insisting that the UK is given tariff and quota free access to the EU market without having to adhere to any of the EU's rules or being subject to the jurisdiction of any EU organisations. :rolleyes:

The EU will doubtless announce that they agree to any and all of the UK's terms and furthermore they're very, very sorry for dragging things out and not doing so immediately. ;) :rolleyes:

Yeah it’s an ancient practice in politics.

I expect many budding historians of the future will really have to try and get their heads around the concept that when caught doing something wrong a politician resigns, it is going to be inconceivable to future generations.
 
Johnsons's paymasters are going to engineer a no deal brexit when all this is over, aren't they?

Austerity, as far as the eye can see...
