Dodgy tweets, bots and FB posts are used by all parties Michael.

Sue. Not until I see something positive come from Brexit. I could go on about the subversive tweets from "bots" or the manipulative Facebook posts but the bus is more memorable - although it would have been better if they'd used one of Johnson's new Routemaster buses; yet another of his failed, expensive vanity projects 😶

The amount of money that is being spent at the moment is frightening!At least this time the contracts are with ferry companies...

Not the bus again lol.  Oh Michael I don't think you'll ever get over it.

And more taxpayers' money wasted on Brexit - they didn't put this on the side of a buys when those promoting Brexit lied about the benefits. Still the meat eaters can enjoy their chicken cleansed of salmonella with chlorine 🙂

I've reached my Bloomberg article limit but this seems to be sourced from Bloomberg:https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/eu-leaders-to-prepare-for-potential-collapse-of-uk-trade-talks-1.4379448I suppose there might be a last minute fudge but a no deal looks a very high probability at present - perhaps we'll have a framework deal to discuss another deal? One key blocker seems to be loss of trust the Johnson will honour any deal. No surprises there ...

Best for them to be prepared Ivonne.
