LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will use the prospect of a Brexit cliff-edge at the end of 2020 to demand the European Union gives him a comprehensive free trade deal in less than 11 months.
“Our manifesto made clear that we will not extend the implementation period and the new Withdrawal Agreement Bill will legally prohibit government agreeing to any extension,” a senior government official said on Tuesday. While Johnson’s large majority gives him the flexibility to change the law should he need to, he is sending a message to the EU - whose leaders have cautioned London that more time would be needed for a comprehensive trade deal.
The EU hopes to start trade talks with Britain by March, leaving just 10 months to strike a deal and get it approved by London and the EU, including member states’ parliaments. Britain’s conundrum is that it will be under pressure to loosen rules on agricultural and food standards to strike a bilateral trade deal with the United States.
This is a distraction. He still plans a hard exit on 31st Jan. His backers and friends in The City cannot comply with the new EU Regulations that come in then, and continue to steal and launder money like they do. WakeUpBritain Dictatorship
The art of No - deal 💥
He's playing into the hands of Scots and Irish nationalists, not to mention Putin and Trump, the EU has the financial clout to bury the UK if it so chooses, it can soak up the lost trade far more easily than an Island without direct trade routes under several hundred miles.
what kind of offer Boris can provide to EU?
Pfft. This has always been the conundrum at the heart of Brexit: he’s not really in a position to demand anything from the EU. They have more to gain/preserve by dropping Britain like a hot potato than by being nice.

ACatInParis FloVilleminot BaldingsWorld I would say that that is really the only way that you will get a satisfactory agreement out of the European Union. Theresa May's case is a cautionary tale. Petulant little boy. There's no way we will be done by then so why make crass promises. We might actually get a better deal if we wait which won't be so economic damaging for us.
