Word hit this AM of a Brexit compromise between the UK and the EU. I didn’t bite. A deal is one thing, approval another.
This morning, the Financial Times reported UK and EU Hammer Out Draft Terms of Brexit Divorce.
The Guardian commented May Tells Her Cabinet, This is the Deal – Now Back Me
This THE Deal?
It could be, but color me skeptical. I did not bite on those headlines.
Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn
We will look at the details of what has been agreed when they are available. But from what we know of the shambolic handling of these negotiations, this is unlikely to be a good deal for the country. #BrexitDeal

“Unlikely to be a good deal”
Jo Johnson
With great regret, I’m resigning from the Government – I have set out my reasons in this article and the video below. https://t.co/hzimcS8uiR pic.twitter.com/hUN9RLzDfq

Jo Johnson is brother of Boris Johnson. Unlike his brother, Jo is pro-Europe. He resigned May’s cabinet because he thinks the deal is a bad one.
Boris Johnson
No one is fooled by this theatre. Delay after staged managed delay. A deal will be reached and it will mean surrender by the UK. We will be doomed to remain in the customs union and under Brussels’ regulatory control. People did not vote for colony status 1/2

Boris Johnson resigned as May’s Foreign Secretary on July 9.
David Davis
This is the moment of truth. This is the fork in the road. Do we pursue a future as an independent nation or accept EU domination, imprisonment in the customs union and 2nd class status. Cabinet and all Conservative MPs should stand up, be counted and say no to this capitulation.

David Davis called this a “moment of truth”. He was May’s former Brexit Secretary. He resigned on July 8 in disgust of May’s handling.
