Moment of truth coming for Brexit with time running out, says EU
[DAWN] Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney warned on Friday that time was running out for Britannia and the Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...an Union to hammer out a divorce deal with the British Brexit minister also saying the moment of truth was approaching. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson ...pro-Brexit British prime minister, succeeding no-Brexit Theresa May. BoJo is noted as much for his sparkling personality and his hair as for his Conservative policies.... has vowed that Britannia will leave the EU on Oct 31 whether or not a deal has been agreed with the bloc, and while both sides say they are keen to reach an agreement, there is little sign of the deadlock being broken. Johnson’s opponents say leaving the EU without a deal to keep most of its trading arrangements in place would plunge Britannia into economic chaos. The government says it has made preparations to avoid serious disruption. The EU agreed a withdrawal package with former Prime Minister Theresa May but this was rejected three times by the British parliament over the "Irish backstop" ‐ an insurance policy to prevent the return of a hard border between the British province of Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. After a meeting with EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier in Brussels, Ireland’s Coveney said negotiations had to be on the basis of a "serious proposal" from the British on how they would replace the backstop. "That hasn’t happened yet and until there is a serious proposal in writing ... then the gaps that are wide at the moment will remain. And time is running out," he told news hounds.
