Brexit

[Muddy Retriever]

I did mention the non-Tory Brexiteers in my last post first sentence.

I think you said have they read it? I don't know is the answer but I've no reason to believe that they haven't. Why does Arran Banks who is Farage's old brother in arms think he is wrong? Why are some Brexit party candidates not convinced by their leader and standing down instead?

In regard to Martin Howe's article what does 'best endeavours in good faith mean?' Barnier has made it clear there will be no free trade deal unless we align ourselves to their regulations, along with access to our fishing waters etc. I voted Brexit to do away with regulations not keep and increase them.

From his comments Farage appears to be terrified of Barnier, it's probably a good job he won't be involved in the trade negotiations. But the references to the UK aligning its rules to EU rules have been deleted. What's more the UK still has the option of walking away at the end of the transition period in December 2020.

Angela Merkel's comments after the deal was signed are also telling. She stated that while under Mrs May’s deal ‘it was not clear whether there would be membership of the Customs Union’, under the Johnson deal ‘it is quite clear that Great Britain will be a third country’. In other words outside of the Single Market and Currency Union.

The deal isn't perfect but from my perspective it is a question of whether you are prepared to get most of what you wanted or nothing at all.
