Hopefully other nations inside the EU prison will follow the UK's lead and have the courage to break free. An embarrassing press conference by the Remainer loser Sir Kier Starmer who criticised Boris Johnson for being prepared to walk away without a trade agreement. The reason why the UK have got a good free trade deal agreement with the EU is because Boris Johnson proved he was prepared to walk away from a bad trade deal. What's your favourite part of the deal?

Here's a handy chart (if it's pasted right) Given the tariffs on economic goods and services will undoubtedly hit the economy hard, I just wonder whether the Government will resort to type and become ever more restrictive about employees rights at work? I know that a few weeks ago, Ministers said on the contrary, we could have better wages, better working conditions and employee rights. However, that seems to go against the grain for Tories. And as said, even though we have a deal, as your tweet from Nick Robinson makes clear, the deal is thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what actually pushed the deal is France closing the border tbh. and i wouldnt get so excited about it if i was you because i bet its far from what youd want or expext being a hardcore brextremist. Andre walker doesnt seem too happy with parliament not getting time to scrutinise the deal He reckons things will be hidden in the detail. funny thing is if i remember right brextremists didnt want parliament to scrutinise things when it was about overturning leaver things?

Delbow Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 At least Irish unification is a few steps closer. Probably only a matter of time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says its not perfect but time to move on now and put Brexit behind us. In that case I won’t rush to read the detail. Because just as Brexit was not “done”,neither are the practicalities of making the various agreements work without a long period of adjustment. I could never balance the intangible benefits of Sovereignty with the all too real difficulties cause by our departure from the EU,so some sadness remains. I will be grateful for small mercies.

This was driven by increases in UK service exports to the EU, which increased by £10.1 billion to £72.6 billion, largely because of increased exports to Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Austria."

Just more lies and posturing from the man with the children with German passports... UK back into the EU - support the movement now!
