    the BoE would use the opportunity to raise interest rate to attract foreign investment. Double whammy for buyers who got caught buying before price hits bottom.

    Bojo will accept all of May's deal except backstop. No wonder the Pound rose. $1.25 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/09/13/brexiteers-fear-boris-johnson-sell-may-20-brexit-deal/

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's not like that at all. If we want a transition period, they insist on us giving them a guarantee. If Bojo wants only to leave without the NI backstop, he only has to convince our parliament, not the EU. Our parliament will tell him to extend A50 to the end of 2020, that will give us enough...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    nothing, nobody will stop Bojo or a future government leaving the EU without a deal when parliament agrees. We would still have to pay membership fees until end of 2020. The point I tried to make to Gray198 is we have a parliamentary system, government governs with the consent of parliament, not...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Parliament took away Bojo's kamikaze tactic, not our ability to negotiate. We have to pay membership fees until end of 2020, very difficult to wriggle out of it. Until then, we can either be in or out, the EU will still get their money. If we are out, then we can talk to the EU about the future...

    You are wrong there. This is a study from Queen university, Belfast. Go to page 33, there is a summary there. https://www.qub.ac.uk/sites/brexitni/BrexitandtheBorder/Report/Filetoupload,820734,en.pdf

    Which Donor Bike to start with?

    if you want to go up in power, you need to scale up your budget to keep to the same level of comfort and performance. Hanging an unspung 7kg weight on a 14kg bike will make handling awkward compared to a 3kgs-4kg crank drive motor. On top of the motor weight, more power requires a bigger and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    yes, that's true but not getting out of the SM and CU. If brexit were done by JC, then brexit would be accepted by parliament and we would have been out by now and the cost would be less.

    Third ebike?

    Unless I am mistaken, your Toba has a rigid fork? Rigid forks are not as good on gravel as suspension forks.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    he might. if Bojo takes us out on no deal, JC and the rebel will control parliament. They will choose the timing of the GE, delay it until everyone starts to regret brexit.

    Third ebike?

    I would have recommended the Woosh Camino with 17AH battery if you were not so far away. We have local helpers not too far away though who can deal with repairs. The Camino weighs 23.3kgs all in, so it's considerably lighter than many fully equipped bikes, the 36V 17AH battery can give you 60...

    are you sure that it's not because people watch too much reality TV like 'love island' and 'naked attraction?'

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the article contains no attributable source though. This sounds like the staff at the DM wrote it themselves: JC said that he would allow Labour MPs a free vote after negotiating his deal with the EU. It's confusing but logical when he wants people on both sides to support his stance of brexit.
