It was always going to be a no deal Brexit

This is *precisely* the corrupting conduct that ‘culture war’ claptrap is designed to excuse. The Prime Minister lied to the country & made every Conservative MP complicit but it will be ignored because blah ‘woke’ blah ‘Rule Britannia’ blah ‘fish’.

At this point not only it highly unlikely that a trade deal will be reached, they want to breach the withdrawal agreement - gotta love a far right Brexiteer government that think they can rip up legally binding international treaties because they want their empire back (the rule Britannia nonsense being a perfect example of this). NO DEAL in every sense.
They were never serious about getting a trade deal, and the only reason they negotiated the withdrawal agreement was because Parliament had tied their hands. So rip it up, tell the EU to do one... they are all ridiculous and they will not be the ones to pay the price as they wallow in their privilege.
Oh and a hard border in Ireland in 3...2...1. Dissidents causing havoc 5 minutes later. The Good Friday Agreement cannot be upheld if they rip up the withdrawal agreement, even as they spout their right wing lies and say they are doing it to protect the agreement, these English nationalists in downing street could not give a shit about Ulster.

The Guardian laid out yesterday what kind of sanctions we may face if they go ahead with their reckless idiocy

EU has powers to punish UK if it breaches Brexit treaty, experts warn
A dispute would trigger a specific legal process ending in the Luxembourg court – and if the UK was found to have breached the international treaty it signed in January, the EU has powers to punish the country.

The court can impose a heavy fine on the UK, suspend part of the withdrawal agreement, launch trade wars and impose tariffs or even sanctions on British exports.

Good times...

UK right now. Struggling to stay afloat, but almost certainly going to sink...
