The Daily Mail Stephen Glover warned Covid was making a comeback in parts of the country and said the next few weeks would be crucial for Boris Johnson. “We are caught up in a perfect storm of a possible No Deal Brexit and an apparently resurgent pandemic,” he said. “On Brexit, we may be edging towards an agreement which will avert the perils of No Deal. But we’re not there yet, and within the next few days the PM will have to decide whether to accept an inevitable compromise.” He said both the pandemic and Brexit would challenge even the strongest of leaders.
The terms “Australian-style” or “Canadian-style” Brexit are meant to convey to the British public the kind of trade relationship they can expect with the EU if no preferential free trade agreement (FTA) is concluded between the UK and the EU at the end of the transition period.

Negotiations for a post-Brexit trade deal between the European Union and the UK have been ongoing since March. Both have until the end of the Brexit transition period – December 31 – to strike a free trade deal. If no agreement is reached, the UK-EU trading partnership will be governed by World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.

The fact is that Brussels has never truly understood why Britain voted to leave in 2016.
Mr Barnier’s unacceptable demands on fishing, the level playing field and European Court of Justice jurisdiction are entirely emblematic of how this overarching supranational bureaucracy cannot comprehend why 17.4 million people voted for independence.
But the EU’s failure to recognise the mandate given by the British people in 2016 and 2019 is predicated on more than just economics, it is founded on principle.
This inevitably makes it difficult, at times almost impossible, for Mr Frost and Mr Barnier to reconcile their differences.
But for Boris to sell British fishermen down the river, as Ted Heath did before him, would completely tarnish his legacy.

I need to put myself forward to tell you how most of us feel about this drama that is Brexit.
As citizens we remain unheard and unrepresented and find there’s no one who is listening to us anymore.
I voted for Brexit in the referendum but as the years rolled on and the talks and negotiations made no sense to the common man, I slowly realised that the referendum and manifesto promises were lies and the oven-ready deal have never materialised (so more lies). I am enraged that I am not getting what I voted for! I know I am not alone.
