So is StevenChilton still around to tell us why the Brexit deal is actually a great British victory?
I don't say things that I don't think are true. It's a pretty bad deal and for that reason I doubt it'll get through Parliament. 'No Deal' is increasingly likely and if that happens then both sides will suffer.
If it is 'No Deal' then it'll be the biggest disaster of EU foreign policy since Yugoslavia. You'd have turned a friendly state looking to maintain relations into one that's now hostile, at the same time losing co-operation in defence, intelligence sharing, science & technology, etc. The loss of the British market is already causing headaches for the EU given a number of trade partners are now looking to re-negotiate their agreements. You could have avoided almost all of this by having a grown-up negotiation that kept the UK close to the EU bloc. Instead you fucked Theresa May about much the same way as you did to Yanis Varoufakis.
Sometimes in diplomacy you have to balance out short-term triumphalism against the interests of the long-term relationship. I'd have thought France & Germany would have learnt that lesson with the Treaty of Versailles.
