Boris Johnson has said he "won't be deterred by anybody" from leaving the EU on 31 October.

The prime minister said he was "cautiously optimistic" of getting a Brexit deal, but the UK would leave by the deadline "whatever happens".

EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said he did not have "reasons to be optimistic" over getting a deal.

Mr Johnson will meet him and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on Monday for talks.

During the PM's speech, at the Convention of the North in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, he was heckled by an audience member who told him to "get back to Parliament" and "sort out the mess that you have created".

yes, you always have to be careful about discussing politics. I usually stay away from the topic.

I get into epic discussions with my brother-in-law about Trump (he would get along well with Vienna), but we both treat it as a game and there are no hard feelings afterwards.

Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson says she hopes to convince members to back a policy of scrapping Brexit without another referendum, as the party's conference begins in Bournemouth.

Ms Swinson says holding the referendum got the UK "into a mess".

And she believes revoking Article 50 - the formal process to leave the EU - is the only satisfactory way out.

This move, if passed is one huge gamble which could possibly do the Lib Dems irreversible damage.

Doubt it, more like boost their votes from those who have not stopped too think hang on that is not democracy.

I hear Sam the ex tory rebel has joined the LibDems, I bet the Tories will do a secret pack with Labour to insure all those defectors loose their seats. :shifty:

No big loss really, he was one of the 21 who had the whip removed.

Funny how he cared enough so recently by entering into the leadership contest to replace May.

Beginning to look like the electorate have an alternative choice at the next general election between the Brexit Party and the Liberal Democrats.

Makes a change from the two biggest parties and also raises the possibility of a coalition....interesting times ahead.

The Liberal Democrats have pledged to cancel Brexit if they come to power at the next general election.

Members voted for the new policy at their party conference in Bournemouth by an overwhelming majority.

^Well there you have it folks they DON'T work for us, they don't believe in democracy and to hell with the people. Proof of another bloody unfit party that should be binned along with Conservatives & Labour.

The time has come wake up people you are being told what to do by these little fascists.

The UK has yet to come forward with a solution to replace the backstop, says the European Commission. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49709430

Now this I can believe and I'm of the opinion both sides are more concerned on who will be blamed when no deal can be agreed.
