And yet, this is also absolutely no surprise to anyone who has been following Brexit in any level of detail. It's been all but inevitable for a while now.
Johnson is also saying tonight that if there's no agreement by October 15th that we should "move on", because of course a trade deal with our closest nations is purely optional and definitely not a necessity in the 21st century. Especially when you're an island.
Yeah, but not just any old island, eh?
Fairest Isle, All Isles Excelling
Fairest isle, all isles excelling,
Seat of pleasure and of love
Venus here will choose her dwelling,
And forsake her Cyprian grove.
Cupid from his fav'rite nation
Care and envy will remove;
Jealousy, that poisons passion,
And despair, that dies for love.
Gentle murmurs, sweet complaining,
Sighs that blow the fire of love
Soft repulses, kind disdaining,
Shall be all the pains you prove.
Ev'ry swain shall pay his duty,
Grateful ev'ry nymph shall prove;
And as these excel in beauty,
Those shall be renown'd for love.
