Well not quite. It's not all over yet. There is still the possibility of no deal if no free trade agreement is agread upon and if no extension is sought by the UK by June 2020. At the end of the transition period (Dec 2020) a no deal scenario would occur. Some of the hard Brexiters will support Boris tomorrow based on that possibility.Won't happen.
Pretty much can't happen, politically.
Leo/our senior civil servants have played a blinder.
it really doesn't matter whether Borris gets this through parliament on Saturday - he'll win the inevitable GE anyway.
It's all over folks. Our boys done good.
The whole idea of power sharing was that both sides have to agree to stuff
No, this bit specifically relates to a vote by the assembly. That's the issue. You don't have to like them to see that they have a point.Like Brexit?

Not feeling a bit sorry for the DUP. ... They never showed any concern about the Good Friday agreement or cross community buy-in.
The DUP never signed up for the GFA/BA.
Thank you.They signed up for it as modified in the St Andrews Agreement.

Duh!
The DUP never signed up for the GFA/BA.
True, so if they are serious about both sides having to agree, I dont think there is anything stopping them signing up to it today? They certainly seem to be signing its praises all of a sudden.
Probably because this talk of “a border on the Irish Sea” is essentially what the republicans and nationalists have essentially always wanted.
My guess is the DUP secretly want Boris to win
That certainly would go against my contrarian narrative. Can't see how the DUP can now think they will ever get what they say they want, they should want off the hook.I see the logic in that - it would certainly get them out of a mess. But Sky were reporting earlier today about some members of the Tory "spartans" complaining about the agressiveness of the canvassing that was coming from some in the DUP (esp. Sammy Wilson) - to get them to vote against the deal tomorrow.
Sinn Féin could provide the necessary votes to get this over the line. Just a once off in the national interest.

It is about the process of claiming rebates. Claiming rebates of VAT takes place seemlessly within the same VAT system - between systems it's a pain in the butt.

….Should I just take the not so patriotic 1.7 on offer for England/All Black double in the rugby instead?!…………..Read: I wouldn't be very comfortable laying that sporting outcome at those odds for any sort of serious money!
