I think Chequers could be the best master plan in politics in a long time and if May pulls it off she’s a hero. Here’s how it works:
The deal has always been Canada plus. There are two issues. Parliament would not have voted for it in a majority out of the gate and the EU would not have agreed to the Irish technology border.
So the Tory party get together at Chequers and come up with a plan. Create a seudo deal that we sell to the British public as “Softish” but actually completey breaks the EU rules so can never be accepted. Boris - when we roll this out go and make a big song and dance in the media about how we are handing power to Europe and use some silly analogy that the great unwashed can get behind, DD - go to ground and figure out this Irish technology thing, let Moggy think he invented it and he’s the smartest man on earth. I will sell this dead duck to Europe and make them look like they are totally unreasonable when they reject it.
Roll on a couple of weeks. May pulls out Canada plus as the last ditch effort with Europe to avoid WTO. Of course they accept it as they have already offered it. They also agree to the Irish technology border to try and look reasonable after the last schellacking.
Come back home waving the deal like peace in our time clement atley style and the MPs have to vote for it as the aledged soft deal has already been rejected by the EU so it’s that or WTO.
Everyone wins and Boris and DD get jobs in the next parliament.
