There was a very cool and poised cabinet minister on BBC radio 4 this morning talking to John Humphries. Missed his name but he totally controlled the interview. Really impressive and explained that no deal wasn’t an objective rather a void that would require deals to be made post exit.

Its all been covered before the Referendum,"easiest deals in history" etc.What have the Commonwealth countries and rest of the southern hemisphere got to sell us? and what will we sell them? It doesnt take much IQ to work out. Read runny eggs world tour,Brazil have 200 million cattle alone.

It was more this bloke’s style of delivery that impressed me. Very cool and erudite. He was someone who commanded attention through subtlety rather than posturing.

I think Rory Stewart was on, I only heard a tiny bit of it.

Probably not how he meant it but no deal then make deals after would be no bad thing. You would get more attention from the EU if we held the cards rather than just hoping that if we are nice to them they would be nice to us, that worked out well last time round!
They would soon look after their own interests and get round the table if they knew no deal was happening. Going into talks saying we wouldn't have no deal got us into this mess.

I agree. His delivery though, so calm and reassuring. The man had Humphries eating out of his hand with no teeth!

Rory Stewart has shown that he is no more than a wimp. He has declared that he would not serve under Boris as PM.

If he had any guts, he would willingly serve under Boris, simply to act as a moderator to try to keep him in check.

My favourite is Stephen Barclay - a Leaver with current Ministerial experience.

Rory Stewart is probably the brightest MP in there and would make a capable PM some day but for now we need a leave PM to sort this mess out, look where it got us with a remain PM that tried to make a deal that took us out in name only. She united the country but not the way she wanted, both sides were against her deal.

Theresa May was like a reformed alcoholic in her zeal for a hardish Brexit. Article 50 should never have been triggered until a workable long term implementation plan had been agreed by the cabinet and the EU. As it is, the UK is exactly no further forward than it was on the 24th June 2016, other than being considerably poorer and now generally realising that there are no simple solutions to complex problems. :banghead:

Only 25-1 odds on him getting in?
