My signature sums it up.

Not really.
Just more Remain hyperbole.
I've still got my money on a Parliamentary impasse resulting in a constitutional crisis followed by another referendum with a major concession from the EU on FOM to seal the deal for a remain win.

My view was in part formed from the long term direction of the EU.

Just as the future of the UK carries risks, so does the EU.

Increasingly, I feel the EU is going in a direction which does not easily align with the UK.

We more naturally align with the USA in my view. This would explain why a vast amount of our capital and technology business has strong links to USA companies.

Interesting.
In the future trade deal negotiations with the USA how many British immigrants would you be campaigning to be given residence anually in the USA. What numbers would you be prepared to except the other way.
This trade deal would be a great opportunity for many more young bright British people to move to the USA to gain experience and then if they wish return.

For those who made their mind up about the withdrawal/transition deal WITHOUT reading the original document the British Government have published this shorter version.

And I've just had an epiphany: 'No deal' is fake news.
There is: May's deal and WTO deal.

No such thing as 'No deal'.

The 'No deal' thing is a misnomer coming from Johnson's rhetoric. Even if we 'walk away' we still need to agree on hundreds of things like WTO quotas and aviation agency recognition if we want to avoid the country grinding to a painful halt.

It looks like someone forgot to ask Spain what they thought....[/url]

So the Spanish PM was lying when the Independent showed a video of him saying that Spain and the UK had reached an agreement over Gibraltar which would lead to no problems over a Brexit deal only a day or two ago then?

Thanks, much easier to read

Personally, I dont have a problem with this deal, seems to give most of the benefits both sides are shouting for, depends on what you expected I suppose though

DUP have just declined to support the government over the budget bill:

Do we our billion quid back now?

I don't think that the DUP are actually all that interested in the measures that they have voted against. They are simply warning the government that they have the power to vote the budget down. By parliamentary tradition that would mean a confidence vote which the opposition would have to support and that would bring down the government.

I don't know if the Fixed Term Parliament Act has changed that but I doubt that the DUP would be firing warning shots if they turned out to be blanks.

A PM and their Foreign Minister saying different things? Surely not.

Agree, for those with realistic expectations its not too bad.

My expectation is that when negotiating any kind of deal, there should always be a way to end it.

I don’t know if that qualifies as ‘realistic’, but it does seem to be a fairly fundamental concept.
