Looks like the UK have got nothing as expected (and quite right). Let's see Davis try spin this as a victory

Unfortunately for him he's only got 99% of the British press more than willing to do it for him.

If you took what the likes of Davis said during the campaign I'd be shocked if even 10% of it has come to pass.

That's impressive non-delivery even for the Tories
 
So NI to remain in the single market and customs union then as a "back stop" option? Over to you Arlene......
 
Davis added: “Make no mistake, both the United Kingdom and the European Union are committed to the joint report in its entirety and in keeping with that commitment we agree on the need to include legal text detailing the back stop solution for the border of Northern Ireland and Ireland in the withdrawal agreement that is acceptable to both sides.

“But it remains our intention to achieve a partnership that is so close as to not require specific measures in relation to Northern Ireland and therefore we will engaged in detail on all the scenarios set out in the joint report.”

Err, what the feck does that even mean? I thought they supposedly had super special plans for a frictionless border? Is he now saying they'll just not have a border? I'm confused. :wenger:

Sounds like David Davis speak for "we have no idea what we're doing and don't have another solution so we will be staying in the CU and SM after all, but we don't want to upset the Brexiteers too much yet".

Daily Mail readers seem to be frothing at the mouth already.
 
I hope that the EU will tie this transition period to written commitment from the UK that there won't be any Irish border + irrespective on whether there's a trade deal at the end of this transition period they will pay the EU what is owed.

They have no choice but to do that anyway - it's written into the GFA that there can be no difference in trade, etc. north and south of border in Ireland so NI simply has to remain in the single market. All the nonsense that has been talked about is pointless due to this fact. It's written into law.
 
The main advantage of this transition deal is that the UK will be able to sign FTA with the US while still being in the EU. If they use that well they can make good money by repackaging US products and dump them in the EU.

The whole idea of not paying tariffs is the unified regulation and standards, they can't just repackage GMO corn and chlorine chicken and sell it as a UK product especially since the origin of everything must be declared.

Other than what Grib said , no, they can negotiate a deal between March 2019 and December 2020 but can't sign it until after they've left in 2021. Plus do you really think 21 months will be enough to agree a deal with the USA?

Well were there is the will there is a way. However, I can see Trump screwing the UK up big time.

US government financial advisers have already said that UK must concede everything to have a trade deal with the US so no change there.
 
Paul the Wolf said:
Trump may be leaving at the same time as the UK leaves the EU, on the other hand Trump could be re-elected and the UK stays in the EU (in all but name).

true, however that doesn't mean that the person replacing him will be pro UK especially if the person in question happens to be a democrat. The Obama-Clinton administration had a soft spot towards the EU and saw Brexit as a travesty (since the UK acted as the US voice/veto within the EU). The republicans would probably allow their trade experts do the talking. Its rumoured to be as tough if not tougher then those used by the EU.

Yes agreed, can't see the USA do the UK any favours whoever is in power. The special relationship only works one way.
 
I really hope the irony of the DUP spending a fortune to campaign for Brexit, and it leading to Northern Irelands effective annexation from the United Kingdom isn't lost on people.

It's hilariously stupid. I love their silence yesterday as well, I think they finally realise that they are not in as strong a position as they thought

It should be obvious by now why political non-entities like Farage & Rees-Mogg have been given such disproportionate coverage.

Because they're a joke?
Not real?
Parodies of otherwise rational people?!
Should have a cartoon anvil dropped on their heads?
