Peak Twaddle Achieved



UK-EU deal 'breakthrough' as Keir Starmer to announce post-Brexit reset agreement after late-night talks

Sir Keir Starmer has reportedly achieved a breakthrough in his bid to secure a new deal with the EU - after talks went “down to the wire” on Sunday night.

Ministers had appeared confident of securing an agreement, with Number 10 saying on Saturday the Prime Minister would “strike a deal” at the first UK-EU summit on Monday.

But Government sources said late on Sunday that negotiations were “going down to the wire and a deal is not yet done”.



What drama. We have -

breakthrough
late-night talks
new deal
down to the wire
strike a deal
UK-EU summit...

Oh and -

deal is not yet done

Sounds as if this might not be Peak Twaddle after all. More turbocharged twaddle could yet emerge from a down to the wire, late night talks, into the early hours, exhausted but triumphant, last minute breakthrough, secure future relations fairness for all reset deal.

It's a doddle to secure an agreement. All you have to do is agree to everything the other side wants and there will be an agreement. Simples.

If you present negotiations as drama (or depend on the media to present negotiations as such) then you have also to impress. Two Tier is a performative Prime Minister who fails to impress.

Someone should take him to one side and tell him that what worked as the Leader of the Labour Party isn't working as Prime Minister. Give him a new brief, as it were.

Breaking news! By Jove, he's done it!!

The EU have been given 12 years of access to our fishing grounds. How he managed that is beyond me, but the man's a genius.

Anon - yes that seems to be the Starmer approach. Easily learned too.

DJ - and that new brief could be something like working among the backbenchers.

Sam - he is a genius, I'm surprised he hasn't given away the Isle of Wight as a sweetener to get the deal done.

Twelve years initially. Of course, it will quietly be made permanent when nobody is looking.

Lions are too good for him.

Peter - yes, he's a appalling man, but lions would be better than nothing.

I am sure that there is someone behind Starmer pulling the strings, telling him what to do and what to day. Whether it is Blair, a man who, allegedly, hates this country because it didn't support his aim to become President of the EU, or some WEFer, I have no idea. A more cynical person than I, may suggest that Starmer, whether acting on his own initiative or not, is a traitor to this country.

Penseivat - I agree and I have a post along these lines ready to go. Someone is pulling his strings and feeding him with sound bites. Not that it's doing him much good.
