If you can't see opportunities beyond the EU, then it isn't my fault.

Growth outside the EU will outstrip that inside for the next generation. That's just the way it is.

You best get used to it.

You best get used to the fact that Brexit isn't going to happen.

Britain concedes it will have to pay EU exit bill - https://www.ft.com/content/be2b22ce-67fc-11e7-8526-7b38dcaef614

Is this going to be the pattern? Because it's pretty unedifying if it is.
UK makes lots of jingoistic noise, then does what EU says. Really???

Taking back control is going well.

Oh dear. Still rattled from Election Day?

Apparently Theresa May cried (for herself) when she saw the results coming in.

Thank goodness the UK has a strong and stable government in waiting led by Jeremy, that the EU can deal with. Rather than the coalition of chaos run by May, flogging the dead horse of Toryism and right wing xenophobia.

Stop kidding yourself.

Corbyn lost. He will never be PM.

Well as there isn't a PM at the moment and he's currently one of the most popular politicians on the planet, I wouldn't bet on that.

Either way, you aren't getting your Brexit.

I thought the Brexiteers would want Corbyn to be heading negotiations, being that he's been anti-EU for decades and May was a Remainer. Corbyn should give you the better deal, seems to actually have some credibility and some sort of plan with his "jobs first Brexit"

Have you noticed how Brexiters go quiet when asked what products Britain will be exporting to Britains new trade partners that will bring wealth and prosperit?

We export over $54Bn to the US annually. I guess it will just be more of the same.

Won't make an enormous difference because average WTO tariffs are only 3-4% anyway. But by the same token 3-4% we will lose very little trade with the EU.

I'm far from his biggest fan, and wouldn't look forward to the prospect with any great enthusiasm, but at this stage I don't think you can rule out the possiblity of him becoming PM at some stage in the future.

Theresa May isn't going to face another election as leader after the shambles she just delivered in the last one, and I don't see an obvious popular leader in waiting for the Tories either.

I hope it is the pattern, otherwise I fear we will be looking at the "No Deal" option which really would be crippling for the economy.

In order for a deal to happen there will have to be significant concessions from both sides.

If we go down the No Deal path I fear I really may have to explore the possibility of moving out of the UK to boost my prospects in my peak earning years, and that is certainly not something I would want to do as I love living in London.

If we do get that scenario though I am more fortunate than most as I can easily get dual nationality by virtue of being born in Northern Ireland, likewise my wife has lived in the UK since she was 7 but was born in Italy, so working elsewhere wouldn't be a huge issue for either of us.

Hopefully won't come to that.

There's no reason for having another election unless the government lose a vote of confidence. That can only happen if the DUP pull out of the arrangement.

Highly unlikely as the DUP see Corbyn as an IRA sympathiser. They certainly won't want him as PM.
