Will the real Mr. No-Deal step forward please?

Associated Press  

BIARRITZ, France — Deal or No Deal? But as Britain and the European Union hurtle toward a no-deal Brexit, the contest Saturday seemed to be who is going to go down in history with the blame and the label: Mr. No-Deal. “I say to our friends in the EU, if they don’t want a no-deal Brexit then we have got to get rid of the backstop from the treaty,” Johnson said. No-deal Brexit’ then I hope that point will be borne in mind by him, too.” The main sticking point of the EU-UK deal was the so-called Irish backstop, designed to prevent the return of customs checks on the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. The fallout of leaving without a withdrawal agreement could include disruptions to the supply of medicines, a decrease in fresh food availability and potential fresh water shortages due to difficulties in importing water treatment chemicals — among many other issues that come from unraveling decades of free trade in goods and services.
