May's deal is quite rightly dead as it consigns us, on the EU's own admission, to the UK being the first colony of their new empire. If this were to ever happen the EU will extract most of the country's wealth as our imperial masters like has happened in all Empires since Roman times.. We will end up as the poorest country in Europe looking up to the much richer second & third poorest of Ukraine & Moldova. Boris has said on numerous occasions on the PM election hustings that May's deal is dead. Don't forget he called it a tu*d.
The smart move would be to put forward to the EU using WTO Article XXIV an FTA offer, if they accept this then trade will continue on zero tariffs while it is negotiated. Barnier offered Robbins & May a Canada++ deal in April 2018 which they turned down where both of them were determined to f*ck the UK. This is the total contempt that both of them hold every UK citizen, our wealth & future prospects. May was offered the job by the EU of kingpin where all EU-UK discussions would be via her in the future as a well rewarded EU commission job. IMV she is the most evil woman to have power in this country since Mary Queen of Scots, but fortunately also our most useless PM so she failed again. There are many calls at the moment for there to be a Royal Commission, so we all find out what happened here & I think we need to know.
If the EU refuse to discuss a WHO Article XXIV deal then the dynamic changes & Boris has tried to get a deal & they are forcing a no deal, which does not comply with their treaty obligations. Don't forget WTO tariff affects both sides & will really hit their £95bn trade surplus with us. This also puts remain Tory MPs in an award position where if they plot against a no deal they are openly siding with the EU which is not going to do much for their deselection or GE reelection chances.
Boris appointing Dominic Cummings as his number 10 adviser is a statement of intent, & IMO his most important appointment where he wins elections where he is exceptionally good at this & tough with it, where the softest thing about him are his teeth.
It seems to me that Boris is having a clearout of all of May's anti-democracy, wa*kpuffins, gadflies & deadbeats, stamping his authority on the party & government & will lead & do things his way, which is exactly what we need.
