Onto phase 2 - Full steam ahead - despite the fascist uprising this will happen - common sense will prevail Suck it up moaners
Buck off - when it comes to goats and forms of public transport it's an issue I'm prepared to park the bus on
It's a good day indeed - now we have 3 months to agree a transitional deal for '2' years during which time we'll continue to enjoy all the benefits (and obligations) of being a member (obviously with no more influence which is annoying and dumb but need must). Meanwhile the date in the withdrawal bill will be quietly dropped and then once we get started on the joys of the complexities of the trade talks then that transition period will be extended. Obviously the no-deal brexiteers know this is going to happen so will be interesting to see how long they allow this to happen before toys get thrown...
Phase two where we will gain even less and give away even more. But no need to worry as nothings agreed till everything is agreed. There wont be an agreement and we wont leave following another referendum based on hard brexit or no brexit...
Interesting read - https://www.ft.com/content/15426d90-e0b8-11e7-8f9f-de1c2175f5ce I imagine chippy / glory will enjoy this section; Within days Olly Robbins, a Whitehall official leading negotiations for Mrs May, made the overture in Brussels. When the terms were explained to EU member states in a secret briefing, even the biggest hawks were silenced: the UK would cover all payments that fall due from up to €100bn of gross liabilities. No EU member state would need to contribute a euro more into the EU budget as a result of Britain’s exit. Having agreed on the substance, the urgent negotiation turned to presentation. While the final Brexit bill would not be known for decades to come, British negotiators wanted to announce a low headline estimate for the net cost: around €40bn-€45bn, rather than the commission’s €50bn-€60bn. They also wanted the commission to say assumptions made by the UK that would minimise payments were reasonable. The most significant trick was simpler: using front-loaded payments in January-April 2019, the last three months of Britain’s membership, to lower the headline exit bill. That alone reduced the EU estimates of the bill by €4bn-€5bn, according to officials involved in the talks. “We don’t mind if they pay early,” joked one senior EU diplomat.
It’s a good job Davis did such a stellar job last week. You have to wonder how bad it was before he saved the day. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5182361/Theresa-calls-rapid-progress-trade-talks.html
To be fair the FT were and have been pro-remain but OLOF if you would like some Brexit balance than if you go back a page there's some good videos with goats and buses
