| Quote Cronus="Cronus"Of course we're not going to get everything we would want in a perfect world. As I've said since the beginning - a deal will be reached that is reasonably good for all concerned. We'll probably see some trade tariffs but anything punitive would also damage the EU. This is precisely why the terms 'hard' and 'soft' Brexit are utterly meaningless: both sides simply want the best they can agree and the deal will be whatever it ends up being.
We're leaving the customs union - this has been made clear - the EU's stance has always been that any customs union means ceding to EU rules and that's what we're moving away from. There's a slim chance some bespoke union could be agreed but I think it's unlikely given the EU's dogged insistence on retaining power.
The only ones making a massive fuss of every single syllable uttered by every single Tory says are the press. People within every party have differing views, always have, always will. Look at Labour if you want true bitter division and confusion (Momentum anyone?) - I'm not even sure most Labour MPs know what line they're supposed to be following. Fact is, it doesn't really matter what Bojo or Hammond or anyone else says - Davis (and his team) and May are the voices that matter and despite the daily doom-mongering of the press, things are progressing.
For me the only true sticking point is the border with Eire and oil be fecked if I can figure out how they're gonna sort it. Some form of soft border is inevitable I suspect, but whether that's at the NI/Eire border, or the NI or even Eire sea/air borders I don't know. The rest will be thrashed out and agreed in due course.
I feel it's only right to reference this [url=https://www.economist.com/news/britain/21736178-harrogates-downward-migration-trend-few-years-ahead-britains-how-it-faringEconomist article[/url again for a possible snapshot of what we can look forward to. Rising wages, more job opportunities, lower unemployment, house and rental prices increasing at a more reasonable pace due to a less frantic demand, lower end wages up by 9% - even some teenagers being paid above minimum wage. Exactly the reverse of some of the big issues surrounding freedom of movement.'"
What's the weather like on Fantasy Island?

1.1 is 10% better than this time last year, things are on the up and up.
Even the Tories are getting their act together
I'm just glad that they aren't organising the brewery trip !

Quite correct,it’s disgraceful asking foreigners who have no rights of residence to leave. What’s more we should as a matter of urgency open our doors to those wonderful people squatting at Calais to come over.
I am positive that all the remain voter will cheerfully contribute to the cost of house building and education.

| So, we (the UK) are now seeking a "free trade" deal with the EU AND we want to be able to make our own deals outside the EU's jurisdiction, not to mention an open border between Northern and Southern Ireland, quite staggering.
Any politicians who actually believe that we will end up with this need a severe head teat.
WHY would the EU 27 grant the UK better terms than any of them are able to achieve, it's fecking ridiculous.
I know that during negotiations, it's better to ask for too much and compromise to what you really want/expect but, we are making ourselves look stupid.
Unless we contribute substantially to the EU, there wont be anything like a free trade deal and if we really want to be in a position to negotiate with the rest of the world, even this is less likely.
It's "fun" to watch both May and to a lesser extent, Corbyn, trying to juggle their own political needs and trying to prevent further fractures from appearing within their own parties, while putting forward their "vision" for life beyond the EU.

| Who'd have thought it, a one-time Tory darling sticking it to the gang.

| Rees-Mogg was so rattled by Major's intervention, that he accidentally broadcast a barefaced lie to millions of Channel 4 news viewers, stating that Jeremy Corbyn had voted against the Good Friday Agreement, which of course he didn't.
Naughty Jacob - I'm sure in the post Ben Bradley era, he'll issue a full and frank apology, and maybe make a hefty donation to a charity of Mr Corbyn's choosing...

Sort of - he tweeted a Latin phrase and admitted he was wrong; for my money, the apology should have the same prominence as the lie, so he should return to Ch4 news and do it properly - or Nanny will spank his bot-bot.
