WTO will restrict the scope of those deals, what you offer to one country you have to offer to all.verylonglegs said:
Yes, if it does come to a full on crash out then lots of deals will be done on the quiet when the British press are no longer looking in the months ahead in the new year.surrey_commuter said:
At the moment we are negotiating down on what we already have, if they let us walk we will see what we are missing and negotiate up.rick_chasey said:Deep down I still think we’re being softened up for a weak deal.
Any deal is better than no deal right now.
After all, these things will be renegotiated forever
There is an article in this week’s Economist about the difficulties facing companies who use chemicals it is an example of how unexpected bad things will happen to many parts of the economy which know nothing other than the SM.0 -
Test & trace this year is 49x the size of the fishing industry’s contribution.
Nice to see the press want to get the navy out for them but not say, services.

Very sad that in the end Brexit turned out to be just the turd we feared...
I have the feeling the lack of a deal is the beginning of a decade of stagnation, high unemployment and inevitable austerity...
The only meagre consolation is that those who voted for it are the ones who are going to take the biggest hit.

The tories will only implement Austerity when they can pin the need for it on Labour. They will find the magic money tree when it comes to trying to stem the Brexit shitshowugo.santalucia said:Very sad that in the end Brexit turned out to be just the censored we feared...

The EU have always said we cannot have a deal as 'good' as membership. Well the fact that using their rules a simple FTA is better than what we had from membership demonstrates exactly why we voted to leave, as we already had a really bad deal.
We'll get an FTA eventually, but we'll have to do it via WTO first before the EU realise their stupid positioning. They need the benefits of free trade with us more than ever as they will now be competing with the ROTW.-1 -

All we want is a free trade deal. The EU have overpriced SM membership in the negotiations. They could have protected the SM racket by being sensible but now the UK will expose just what a poor deal the SM is to the richer states.kingstongraham said:

Covid and all the financial pressures this brings will just speed up the process of exposing it.

Ugh just found out a super bright pole (neuroscientist) who was great fun in my old cycling club left the U.K. in October to return to the EU. ☹️
