Why do I get the feeling that for you discussing Brexit has become secondary to trying to score points over me (even appointing yourself as the umpire to do so)? Are you trying to join my stalkers?

Even now you choose to misrepresent me on the May deal... Here's what I said about it on 3rd December when asked by you:

I think May's is a flawed deal, because you don't need to see the AG's legal advice to know that we risk having the backstop being used against us as a bargaining chip. If you accept the premise that we are leaving, however and also accept that May would not choose to accept the backstop in its current form if there was any sign that the EU would shift on it then, yes, it's the best deal.

The backstop needs to be time limited, but the EU says that it won't shift on that. If defeated, I think May will go back and ask and we will then have some weeks of brinkmanship to see if the EU or Parliament blinks first.

And here's your response:

Searching hard for your actual opinions. I see that I have just about extracted a grudging opinion that you think that May's deal is the best we can get.

Perhaps you could put up some examples of me repeatedly arguing it was a good deal, as opposed to it being flawed?

Note that we could have saved a lot of faffing around, given that I said exactly where things would go.

Do you seriously believe that the EU is going to give a non-member country the right to veto it's legislation? Seriously? How do you think that is going to work? Do you envisage that we would we continue to elect MEPs or would the EU send us draft legislation for approval? Lol. I know you are concerned about no deal, but you are becoming detached from reality. I hope our politicians will not waste such time as there is left chasing such unicorns.

And no, the Austrian PM is not Barnier. Far more importantly, she isn't Merkel or Macron.
