  I think plan Jezza is the closest we have got to a sensible leaving deal that will satisfy most.

  Not me.
  
  I want neither 'a' or 'the' Customs Union. Either would restrict us making trading deals with the rest of the world on our own terms.
  
  I want nothing to do with the 'Single Market' as one of the four 'freedoms' involves the free movement of Labour.
  
  I have no problem with keeping supposed environmental protection and standards and 'rights' in line with EU law as in most instances the UK provides MORE of these than EU standards.

  It does look like we are heading for a Customs Union, doesn't it? I think the PM is about to drop the ERG pandering on the basis that they have had their big day out and lost the confidence vote and in a microcosm of Brexit, vastly overestimate their own importance in any event.

  The NHS is stockpiling body bags to cope with no deal Brexit!

  (The worrying thing is that this might have nothing to do with Brexit but is in preparation for a Cabinet reshuffle with Grayling taking over Health)

  Glad to see you taking advantage of your new-found freedom to knock your erstwhile party to the full Bob. Keep it up.

  Nothing has changed dear boy - as I'm sure 'our' Charlie and various councillors will confirm! As my Twitter feed header says:-

  So, an indiscreet, or deliberately loud, Olly Robbins gives the game away: The PM runs the clock down to a binary choice of her deal or an extension of A.50, not the no deal situation the ERG are hoping for. Further, we learn that the Ireland backstop is actually intended as a bridge to the future close relationship. Number 10 will of course not comment, but of course it will be a true reflection. So, where next????

  I would guess at deliberately loud, which is an easy way to get an a non official plan into the public domain.

  Overheard in a Brussels bar indeed!! I can't see anything other than an extension assuming the 27 member states agree, we are nowhere near prepared to crash out. Should be fireworks from the ERG crowd later.

  Never sure what to stockpile but would suggest long life milk and canned foods although most of the latter is produced here(not sure of the origin of the ingredients though). We won't starve but will be deprived of choice in a lot of things. Fresh fruit and veg will be virtually non existent for a while if no deal happens.
