    AN: How would you get round what’s in 5C?

    BJ: I would confide entirely in paragraph 5B which is enough forour purposes.

    AN: Do you know what’s in 5C?

    BJ: No.

    AN: I thought you were a man of detail.

    BJ: Well,you didn’t even know whether it was an article or a paragraph, but–

    AN: But that’s not the details you told those Tory hustings ...

    BJ: There’s enough in paragraph 5B to get us the agreement that we want.

    AN: No.5C says you don’t just need the EU’s approval; you need to agree with the EU the shape of a future trade agreement ...

    When you say constraint that doesn't really tell the whole story does it ? .

    I'd suggest constraint would be best measured within the Labour held constituencies who voted overwhelmingly to leave the EU and not 400k members with all due respect .

    The membership won't decide the next election but the electorate will .

    If the party are seriously pinning their electoral hopes on gaining the remain vote at the expense of the brexit Labour heartlands then they are more deluded than I thought .

    They've already had a warning with the recent European Parliament elections on the likely scenario on their present position .

    What the party needs to do is concentrate on the country's future outside of the EU and operating on WTO terms instead of fighting battles that were lost in 2016 .

    Johnson and his cronies will be already on it , about five moves ahead I'd imagine .

    The Labour Membership have lost the EU referendum battle and I'd concentrate on winning the life outside of the EU war if they are smart .

    The party's present position will see it wiped out in it's heartlands .

    There isn't anyone I know personally voting for Labour at this point in time .

    Find me a Labour Leadership candidate that actually respects the referendum and I welcome them to step forward and tell me what their vision is .

    Anyone within the party possess those kind of minerals these days ?

    Or are we going to leave it to Johnson and the ERG to pave the way forward outside of the EU .

    Unless the Tories do take us out I think it will be Farage who will be paving the way.

    Johnson will take us out alright , no question of that in my mind .

    The question up for debate will be whether the system allows him to .

    Farage alone can't take us out he needs 300 plus MP's to do that from a present position of not having any at all .

    If Johnson plays the no deal and leave card and parliament prevents it then you are in the people v parliament territory and Johnson is Oliver Cromwell .

    Anyone underestimating Johnson needs to have a word with themselves , this bloke has the capability of taking Corbyn to the cleaners in the present climate .

    Do you think he will really go ahead with proroguing parliament if it comes to it?

    I personally think Johnson will do what ever it takes to leave the EU .

    What's more relevant is what the system says he can do .

    He's a PM not a dictator , he's walking In to government with the majority of MP's who want to remain in the EU and without a majority government .

    The only deal is no deal which seemingly scares the shyte out of the majority in parliament .

    Ain't no different to a recession as far as I can see .

    My personal opinion is this , if you believe in something then you take the initial pain that comes with it for the greater good

    Then again I'm old skool , did 12 months without a penny coming in in 84/85 and a baby on the way along with thousands more .

    Tick the box , stand up , simple as .

    Not when they went in a direction he was not happy with. He constantly found he could not leave them "unattended"
    Military dictator according to Churchill
