Once again this German takes from this Brit a lesson in humour.

A No 10 source says a Brexit deal is "essentially impossible" after a call between the PM and Angela Merkel.

Boris Johnson spoke to the German chancellor earlier about the proposals he put forward to the EU - but the source said she made clear a deal based on them was "overwhelmingly unlikely".

They also claimed she said a deal would never be possible unless Northern Ireland stayed in a customs union.

But Labour called it a "cynical attempt to sabotage the negotiations".

Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer said Mr Johnson "will never take responsibility for his own failure to put forward a credible deal", and called on Parliament to "unite prevent this reckless government crashing us out of the EU". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49970267

Well, it looks like that could be it then. No need to wait for Macron to use his veto and I couldn't help but notice the most inept opposition in British political history using the opportunity to get their oar in and stirring the pot.

^Well then Bojo may as well crash out the UK as the EU clearly wants our money. Get on with it Bojo, this time tomorrow we should be out no point waiting for a few weeks just get on with it.

And the EU's top official warned the UK against a "stupid blame game".

President of the European Council Donald Tusk sent a public tweet to Mr Johnson, writing: "What's at stake is not winning some stupid blame game. At stake is the future of Europe and the UK as well as the security and interests of our people."

It's not only the US that has a 'Donald' the EU have one as well.

Jeremy Corbyn’s chief of staff Karie Murphy has been moved from his Commons office and given a role at the party’s HQ for the coming general election.

The switch follows fury at the highest levels of the party at the departure of policy chief Andrew Fisher, who is understood to have been frustrated with Murphy’s management style and her handling of a range of issues including Brexit and internal party decisions.

Fisher’s decision to quit emerged last month, when he sent a memo attacking some in the leader’s team of a “lack of professionalism, competence and human decency”, adding he was sick of their “blizzard of lies and excuses”.

Several sources told HuffPost UK that both Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell were so shocked by the policy chief’s resignation that it was inevitable that Murphy’s role had to be changed.

Further doubts were raised over her part in a botched plan to remove Tom Watson as deputy leader on the eve of Labour’s conference in Brighton, an incident that threatened to overshadow the party’s election policies.

Its a global Donaldinarium, and its spinning around a shared centre like dizzy squirrels around the trunk of a tree.

Jimbuna · 10-08-19, 11:52 AM

The whole situation is absolutely crazy and sadly, quite avoidable.

Skybird · 10-08-19, 01:50 PM

Maybe he is trying to provoke individual EU states so much that they are so pissed and refuse to accept another delay. With Merkel he has probably bad cards, with Macronman he may have better chances, who knows.

^ This 'strategy' could be better than boring the EU to death, for all

MPs will be called to Parliament for a special Saturday sitting in a decisive day for the future of Brexit.

Parliament will meet on 19 October after a crunch EU summit - seen as the last chance for the UK and EU to agree a deal ahead of 31 October deadline.

If a deal is agreed, Boris Johnson will ask MPs to approve it - but if not, a range of options could be presented.

The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg says these could include leaving without a deal, and halting Brexit altogether.

This has got to be 'Last Chance Saloon' surely.
