Jeppy

They are doing what we should all want them to do which is to protect the country as a whole. Your misguided and totally unsupported belief that no deal will be fine is making proper debate impossible.

Nobody should any them to show such contempt for the people. The hysterical nonsense that they are spouting is no different to what they said before, and it was rightly rejected. They are now repeating it to try and justify their actions. It proved false before, and remains false

Please show me any fact based report showing no deal won't damage this country. Just today one showed nothing but pain. Cost/benefit alone makes Brexit bad and no deal a disaster.

There is no "fact based" conclusion either way. It has not happened. There are only projections, most of them from people with a track record of getting it wrong, and in the case of the ones you place such faith in, the models are hard wired to produce that result.

So increased costs of trade and WTO unequal tarrifs plus lower standards won't happen? They will. Even the favourite economist of hard brexiteers predicts a decimation of industry. As for hard wired models where are the ones that slant in the other direction?

Trade costs will be determined by our future relationships, both with the EU and others. These are unknown. We will set our own standards, so they can be what we want. On models, you seem to miss the point (which doesn't surprise me). The ones you cite are nonsense.

So on day one, after the no deal you support, the cost is undetermined? WTO rules are pretty clear as are the schedules. These future relationships? What about the so called 40 cut and paste trade deals? Only 8 have been done! No deal is bad for Britain.

It isn't worth sacrificing decades to avoid a few days of minor bumps that probably won't happen anyway.
