Senior figures in European governments believe Boris Johnson is waiting for the result of the US presidential election before finally deciding whether to risk plunging the UK into a no-deal Brexit, according to a former British ambassador to the EU.
He is so shallow! Waiting to see if he has friends in the playground before making the Brexit decision. Shame that the lives of 65 million UK citizens depend on BorisJohnson But hey, what does he care?
So says The Beano.
Control well and truly taken back eh? Oh wait no... Confirming the UK is americas whipping boy under the Conservatives 😂 Pathetic
Any evidence? I doubt it, there is only a few days in any case.
leftie crap we leave fully on 1st jan regardless
Sam Lowe, senior research fellow at the Centre for European Reform, said: “The US does have a special relationship with a country but it is Ireland, not the UK.”
rolandmcs All that lovely control...
Imagine life in this scenario. Too awful.
rolandmcs And so the meaning of ‘take back control’ becomes even clearer...
Hmmmm
Wow, so this is taking back control!
Oligarchy
AHaglington So he's flapping in the wind over Brexit once again? Beyond useless.
UK sovereignty is all very well within UK borders, but if they want to trade anywhere, they can no longer be trusted. Boris can't be trusted.
rolandmcs ...but we hold all the cards, right!?

rolandmcs It doesnt actually matter. While the Democrats control the House of Representatives they hold a veto on a trade deal regardless of who occupies the White House.
Break the GFA and it’s no deal irrespective of presidential outcome. Won’t pass the Pelosi democratic house. Period
. realDonaldTrump has seen losers in business, indeed failed in business himself enough times to smell out a bargain basement deal on the horizon.
Hugh... was BJ hinging Brexit on someone...?
Populism can't work in the long term due to governments making decisions and then backtracking because they read the mood of the nation incorrectly. One step forward and one step backwards.
Of course he will...
Jamais au bout de nos surprises.
Aight so taking back control and stopping 'EU dominance' meant letting ourselves become the 51st state? Smh
The UK is waiting for the new owner to be able to give the UK more dog food to make up for the loss of Brexit?
Like a third world country waiting on a wink from the world powers.
Of course he will
Insane
Convenient!
Fool. Bloody, idiotic fool.
Of course he will, Nancy won’t be offering nothing
When did the Observer last back a political winner? Correct, they haven’t a clue.
Trou du cul.
Because Boris wants to hitch his wagon to this guy....
So have we seized back sovereignty to give to the US?
BorisJohnson wants to sell the NHS to the USA
BorisJohnson is a coward
Awaiting instructions from his new boss.
In fact, just boycott all American produce until Trump is out of the White House. It's not that difficult. MAP. Make America Pay.
Here comes the chlorinated chicken and obesity folks. Fight this. Boycott product that meets American standards.
With Darroch suggesting the Biden administration may even favour a US-EU trade deal over one with the UK -not entirely surprising given he is a committed multilateralist- then far from the Brexit vision of a 'Global Britain', we may well be looking at a 'Snookered Britain'.
This doesn't surprise me at all. Its obvious when you think about it. Let's see shall we!
I am laughing so loud on this dude square root of Trump!!! Trump will play him out he smells the weakness!!!!
Yes if it's Biden then it's 🇨🇳+🇺🇸+🇪🇺=🔗🇬🇧🔗 If its Trump its 🇺🇸+🇬🇧+🇯🇵, 🖕🇪🇺🖕
EwanMcLaughlin6 - this means they'll be a deal as Biden will win. It'll be a hotch potch probably minimal but still a deal
How did the village idiot end up as PM? Thank you. Idiots.
Is that tie not too long to be normal?just asking
Before you criticize the man watch him play ball. Admire his Determination Team work Respect for the weak His Resilience
The naïveté of BJ to think that the current WH occupant won’t exploit the UK’s weakened position under a no-deal Brexit is mind-boggling.
What a brilliant strategy! They won and didn’t have a fucking clue what they wanted!
No shit Sherlock. Because if Biden wins, they Tory big money jolly up will not happen.
Johnson is probably looking forward to chlorinated Turkey if Trump wins the election
He’s shat his pants then? World beating Boris. Quite literally.
There's a good subservient little boy...... rule britannia my arse....
Enjoy that chlorine tinged chicken coming your way Britain...tasty...
Smart move...better be cautious who knows what November will bring?
Get it done before 3rrd Nov, if Biden win, which is certain, there is no trade deal with America. Then it EU will again have upper hand in negotiations.
😂😂...that's just so funny...and they were afraid of being a vssal state of the eu😂😂😂😂😂
Constant rubbish from
No doubt writing two columns before going to print.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Russia want a no deal Brexit. If Biden wins, Russia is done. So is Boris, in the medium term.
Taking back control
FailureCoach Seeing them sitting there, couldn't you just bang their heads together?
How do you say « pathétique » and « tout ça pour ça » in English?
If this is a thing, I'm not sure how impressed or receptive the EU will be if Johnson has to creep back to the negotiating table because his Trump card disintegrates. It would be like trying to repair a marriage after an obsessive mid-life fling. How very Boris Johnson.
Trump loses, Johnson resigns and leaves someone else to sort the mess out ToryScum
'Oven-ready' Boris dithers again. At least there's one man England can look up to.
TheWarMonitor Because Biden will support the Eu
Unbelievable he is playing people livelihoods on this. I hope Biden is elected for the sake of democracy and this would be the turning tide against right wing populists like Johnson and Bolsonaro in the world.
Well that's some short sighted brain damage. Is Boris hoping his idiot cousin gets re-elected for some stupid & terrible 'deal', or that a competent president gets elected and calls shenanigans on his BS and forces him back to the EU to negotiate?
chorinated chicken comes to mind !
Aaaaaaaaah Nostalgia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait for it, wait for it? BIGGEST U-TURN EVER AS WE BEG THE EU TO KEEP US IN. Never in a month of Sundays is Biden gonna give us a Trade Deal. WE IS TRULY AND COMPLETELY F*CKED-UP-THE-A*SE, BY BIGOT AND HIS SCUMMY SLIME-BALLS!
Ivan Rogers is an EU man through and through. 100% bedwetting remainer with no loyalty to the country.
Thought Bozos deadline was the Thurs before last, what a loser.
Leaving the EU doesn't seem like such a great idea after all when all's said and done does it? The rest of the world could clearly see that four years ago. It beggars belief that a non-binding referendum result where 52% of a 72% turnout voted leave led them into this mess!
Regrettably, the old, retired and comfortable in UK and US have decided to consign their kids and grandkids to the dustbin by voting for these despots and liars. Any Irish American who voted for Trump stands indicted of damaging the interests of the homeland of their ancestors.
Just like me buying cryptos 🙂
Very sovereign to make decisions dictated by how another country is doing
Boris Johnsons souvereignty 🤣
😂😂😂
If something only seems a good idea if Trump is still president it might not actually be a good idea after all
If he’s relying on Trump to bail him out of a no deal Brexit he’s likely to be played, Trump will smell weakness. He’s also assuming any deal would get through a democratic House of Representatives. Feels like a high stakes gamble.
What's the US election got to do with anything? I suppose that what he meant by 'Take Back Control'? Pathetic.
Result in US will be delayed until about 12/31, late afternoon DC time...🤨
TheWarMonitor Only remainers believe anything from the guardian.
So much for having all the cards. So much for getting great deals. So much for taking back control. .
Why?
Watch , ' Totally Under Control ' Airs on Hulu ..I believe it's highly critical to watch this and share this documentary with anyone and everyone before election day .
Always the plan..... they have gotten a bit windy since Biden is looking good....
Day by day, this country is convincing me that I need to move to New Zealand. The handling of this pandemic, brexit, refusing to feed hungry children... Yeah, jacindaardern please adopt me 😭
That could take a while then...😴
I’m not sure it’s his decision
Soon demlas in the USA tells that Boris made Trump won. Anyway...most important thing is that Trump ll win. MAGA
What a coward. He seems to see Great Britain as the 51st State of America and nothing more. My point of view on this is that my proud british friends deserve much better.
Love how the lefties don't realise Boris is a Globalist. He's basically Hillary.
🤣
Boris the Mighty Fop!
So much for this oven ready plan we've been hearing so much about
That's the day panic buying proper will start
Lionheart 🦁+💓
Bahahaha.....Johnson is the pantomime clown that we will otherwise miss this Christmas. I wonder if that decision just must suit the EU too😂😂😂
Of course they will. If you think plans aren't prepared.....
Because Biden would make him rejoin the EU. Trump2020!
Post Brexit Britain is so strong and independent 😂😂
What, does he seriously think Trump will give a shit about Britain?! As John Oliver said the other night, in Trump’s toxic masculine, Uber-capitalist worldview, you’re either f**king someone or getting f**ked. Guess which we’ll be.
So is this us, or US, taking back control?
Why?
Boris is like a seal after butter-
Cheap chicken here we go
Afraid of being the only populist kid on the block ?
All the cards....
That’s Leadership for you. UKisUSAsBitch
cul-de-sec!🌝🌝
Absolute charlatan haha
Wut?
Sounds like the sort of thing a total thicko with no confidence in himself would do.
Not sure what the US election has to do with it - it will functionally be the same deals on the table if either biden or trump wins - he won't get a better/worse deal out of Biden. Britain has zero leverage in a US trade deal without putting access to NHS on the table
This is just clickbait nonsense. Come on Guardian, you're supposed to be better than this.
The fear of no Trump is in his brave eyes...poor man
What a chancer. If his plan was so great, he’d be proud to show it off!
will be better
