Make me Brexit minister, I could do just as good a job.
Well, I'm down as Brexit Minister today, planning on resigning tomorrow morning, you could take over after that? Say, the 8am-8pm slot?
Anyone here fancy the night shift after that?

Can I do this while working from home?
It's OK, there's a potential saviour

Alternatively, this is actually too stupid even for current British politics.

Maybe it would have been a good idea to actually try to have some idea how they wanted this to work before taking back our borders(but NOT THAT ONE!!!!).

Don't think even Sir Humphrey could plan that far ahead to pull that one off!
The CEO of my company in the UK issued a statement on Friday, the essence of which was there were two choices:-
- Push for another referendum (hoping for a remain outcome)
- Accept what we've drafted and work with it
His reluctant decision (his words) was for option 2

So pull a Trump and just refuse to pay your debts. Simple really default on all obligations and live with a closed border. And stop whining about your decision to close the Irish border.

Reality and logic will play not role in the expectations of the UK!

I would expect that this would affect the subsequent trade negotiations

Well of course, but trade and international travel are small prices to pay for retaking your boarders! Where is the old Blitz spirit? Bring back rationing and all that like in the good old days!

The people invoking the blitz spirit tend to ignore how reliant the UK was on the Atlantic convoys.
When their side has been "responsible" for "negotiating" Brexit for the last two years.
Raab presumably went to the Cabinet meeting knowing what he'd agreed, stood by May, then after accepting the deal, resigned.
Even bigger bunch of clowns than May or Corbyn.

The DUP has warned Theresa May to "keep her side of the bargain" on Brexit after the party's 10 MPs withheld their support in votes on Budget measures.

I'm still very confused as to exactly what end result the DUP want from Bresit.
They seem to want to leave the EU, but not have a border with the EU, but not be in any customs union (possibly?).
Which is, surely, not achievable?
Is there a simple list of (non-contradictory) demands from them?

I presume it refers to the opt-outs, the continual grumbling and complaining and the demands for special treatment.
