    Just to clarify before anyone cracks open the champers. We've agreed to roll over our existing trading deals (not create new deals and improve) with Norway (pop 5.25 million) and Iceland (338,000).

    And as Liam the easiest trade deal in human history Fox said in his right ridiculed tweet; that's on top of the deal we've signed with Liechtenstein.....

    Finally something we agree on, though I would probably have said it less politely.

    I'm sorry but I think you must be mistaken as Theresa May said 108 times in the House of Commons that we were leaving on 29 March....

    Apparently the EU going to offer either the 23rd of May or a long extension. Although it might just be a google translate issue and they were talking about the end of May.

    They probably won’t attach the year to the new deal. That would keep everyone even chesh happy

    Well the EU have thrown May a big lifeline with a you can only have a short extension if you vote for May's deal - which seems to put a lot of pressure on making it May's deal or No deal.

    Devil may be in the detail as he didn't rule out a long extension so if it emerges thats it's May's deal, no deal or long extension - it might make it different.

    Who created that fallback? Parliament.

    Who do you think can remove that fallback....?

    Is there a majority to allow that fallback to happen in parliament? No.

    No deal it is then, we’ll it would be if May and the others had any balls. I’m meeting more and more customers who voted remain but have been so pissed off with how Euro powers have bullied us they’d vote exit if there was another vote

    Those who didn't vote in the referendum like you, 20/20 etc shouldn't really have a say on the outcome
