LONDON - British business minister Andrea Leadsom said on Wednesday her government’s focus was getting a divorce deal with the European Union at a summit next month that did not require an Irish backstop policy. “We are looking at getting a deal, getting a good deal, that works for the UK and the EU that is different to the one that was negotiated previously,” Leadsom told BBC radio.

“Our absolute focus is on getting a good deal on Oct. 17 when the EU Council meets. So we’re looking at creative ways to ensure that there won’t need to be a backstop.”

Merkel will help !

Leadsom, read this then resign. Crash out the remaining 27 each only lose one export customer worth a fraction of their total EU exports, while we lose 27 valuable tariff & customs free export customers worth over £265 billion employing millions of people. Enough said tell the 🤡

Lady MacBeth to the rescue ?

On and off, on and off, and keep going... We will see.

I don't believe that, I don't believe that BorisJohnson et al are really trying to get a deal agreed. I don't believe anything that Johnson says nor do I believe anything that any members of the Cabinet say. Johnson has complete disdain for all but the hard Brexiteers.
