    Well, you could have a read about Oor Nics Article 50 "veto"

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...n-com/?ref=yfp

    Asked if she had a “veto in her back pocket” about when Britain leaves the EU, she replied: “I think we are in a very strong position. That is a position that I am going to use as well as I can.”
    Considering how long trade deals take to arrange and implement, maybe not a bad thing tbh.

    There always the link between voting Brexit and the 'alleged' link to wanting the death penalty return....

    Then there's the new Brexit minister and his deep understanding of EU trade agreements

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7136121.html

    .The staunch Leave backer, a former Europe Minister, however said during the referendum campaign that Britain would negotiate individual trade deals with other EU countries.

    It certainly takes the EU a long time to negotiate trade deals as it has to satisfy the interests of 28 different members, interests that can often be contradictory. Indeed the EU has no trade deal in place with any top ten economy. Australia by contrast has deals with USA, China and Japan.

    Without this handicap Britain should be able to negotiate deals much more quickly. In fact countries around the world already seem very keen to do deals with Britain.

    Not great if true. However, as one of the people to comment below the article points out - number 627, perhaps the journalist should concentrate on the basics of his own job before criticising others.

    Terrible writing for a journalist.

    "...without side countries," instead of "...with outside countries."
    "Ms Davis," instead of "Mr. Davis."
    "Negotiations will not begun..."
    "He went one to say..."

    Seriously?

    Maybe reach some level of skill at your own job before commenting on whether somebody else is capable of theirs. I thought this was the website of a proper newspaper, not somebody's Facebook ramblings, which is how this reads.

    I've read the article and there is one line that does seem to suggest that trade deals could be made with individual EU countries but elsewhere it is clear that he understands the EU makes deals as a block. So perhaps David Davis should have checked more carefully everything that he had written in what was a very long article. I suspect that his proportion of errors is minuscule compared to the Indy journalist.

    It took Australia 10 years of negotiations with China before the trade deal was signed, I call that quite a long time.
