Britain's chief Brexit negotiator didn't know how much trade we do with France.

Sometimes things pass the point of embarrassing and irritating to the place where they become funny. Then sheer monotony can make them even more embarrassing and irritating.

Welcome to the Conservative Party's Brexit clusterfudge show. It's a jolly good tragi comedy and a right old larf... with massive real world consequences.

We can top that. Look at our President. He did not know that the people who negotiated the new NAFTA, are the same people who negotiated the TPP, and the new NAFTA, is the old NAFTA, in addition to what was negotiated in the TPP.

Is it all unravelling around them. Who'd have thought?

They promised us all a land of milk and honey. I hope they can deliver or there's going to be a lot of very angry and disappointed people to deal with....And that's just the lorry drivers.

@TheConstantGardener They can't deliver what was promised. The best scenario is they don't deliver disaster.

Everyone will be pissed off for different reasons.

I think the brothers Johnson sum up what a total omnishambles the whole thing is. Both resigned over May's plans for different reasons.

+ The NI Secretary didn't know, Unionists don't vote for Nationalists. & vice versa!!
Bloody joke...

@Harriet03 Surely anyone who even wants a political career would know that, right?

The bit about Raab not knowing Britain was an island is probably journalists taking the piss but it is all a bad joke. I'm a Labour man but even I wish the Tories weren't doing quite so badly at negotiating Brexit.

Oh but of course! What did you think? That people vote for smart and capable candidates? No, no, no. We vote for the ... Wuns that tok gud & sey wut we wanta heer.

Nothing else about them matters.

@Xuan12 You are such a cynical man. Your President is a strong and stable genius.

Xuan12 · 31-35, M

@Burnley123 Is there a word for when cynicism and reality coincide? Oh right, there is....*@$&!

Is that second referendum still a non-starter ?

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@RodionRomanovitch I hope it takes place but I don't think it will.

@LvChris Boris's younger brother. Hatching a plot, I dare say.
