The chlorinated chicken scare always seems a bit overblown to me. In my teens I was a keen swimmer and immersed myself in chlorinated water almost daily most summers and several days a week in winter. Admittedly I never ate myself but any chlorinated water always seemed to wash off.

saying a deal was unlikely any time soon. Your list of scare stories would therefor be unlikely any time soon as well.

I would prefer leaving without a deal as that is the only way of actually leaving. All this business about stopping us leaving without a deal is really about stopping us leaving full stop (period).

The dynamic of getting a deal or deals after we have left will be different to previous negotiations. The point is that there will be a deal or a number of deals after we leave but we won't always have to be the supplicant. No deal is not no deal for ever.
