It's Brexit decision day. Johnson has negotiated a (terrible) deal in theory, but it's looking likely to fail in the nation's parliament. Johnson continues to pledge that the UK will withdraw from the EU on October 31st no matter what. That's not a promising combination of facts. It's looking like ERG reactionary isolationists who want a no-deal Brexit are probably going to get their way.

Looks like the "deal" is basically no hard customs border (inland) and northern ireland, will stay part of the EU customs block.
So a "part" of great britain will have differnt rules and customs, than the rest of the kingdom.

That said it actually looks like the UK plans to HONOR its Good Friday agreement, for peace in ireland.

The back lash this will get though....

DUP will vote this down, Im not expecting this to make it through the parlament in the UK.

"Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the deal sounded "even worse" than what was negotiated by the PM's predecessor, Theresa May, and "should be rejected" by MPs. " - bbc

May had 3 "deals" that all fell apart in parlament.
Getting a "fair" agreement between the UK and EU is all good and well..... the problem is the government doesnt seem to want anything.

Guess what awaits us is a Hard Brexit, with the UK crashing out, a Hard border, a worse economy, and war like fights at the border in Ireland.
