[Politics] The official match day thread: The UK/EU deal.

[Silverhatch]

It'll be interesting to see if the ERG give their backing or not.

I hope they’re apoplectic with rage, **** off and form a Brexit Party... oh?

This thread is simply about the deal which seems to have been struck between the UK and the EU.

I personally believe the deal will pass into law because the only alternative is a No Deal. And is looking much better than May's deal.

Is anyone else relieved?

Not really. It's about our deal with the EU.

I don't want any fighting on this thread.

Well, best of luck. There are already a few extremist posts on this thread. You may need VAR to help you.

The mods do a wonderful job.

I'm sure they will police the posts in this thread as they do elsewhere, and remove child like name calling.

Still, at least we have got 350 million extra to spend on the NHS, right?

Every day too

Relieved there’s a trade deal. No deal would’ve had very real, negative ramifications for everyone, almost overnight.

 

[lawros left foot]

This ‘deal’ will have to do, until we re-join in about 20 years.

 

[Baldseagull]

We are in the European free trade zone.

For goods, not services.

From what I see the fishing industry won’t be happy.

And there are still many companies and industries not prepared for 1st January based on responses to some guidance we issued this week, particularly around import paperwork / taxes / charges

They all knew what they voted for - or so we are repeated told - so they should be very happy.

NEW: No10 insider claims victory on fish

“Even before the end of the transition period we will take back control of 130,000 tonnes a year, enough to stretch to the South Pole and back. After that we can fish and eat every damn fish in our waters.”

But we don’t even eat ‘every damn fish’ that we catch now ? And we’re still giving the EU 5-7 years access... [emoji2375]

There seems to be some confusion about what has been agreed on services that make up that 80% of the UK's GDP, so here is a useful (if rather large) answer



Maybe it's just me, but I can't see that we've gained anything much here. With the exception of a couple of extensions we seem to have lost all access we had when we were members. That can't be right can it ?

Or am I being premature and this will all be in the detail of the trade deal when it gets announced.

From Sam Lowe, the Brexit and trade specialist at the Centre for European Reform

Some legitimate UK negotiating wins (subject to T&Cs):

- no dynamic alignment on state aid
- labour and environment commitments impact focused, rather than to match EU rules
- ECJ seemingly removed from trade disputes
- limited cross-retaliation
- fish

Great, make sure you catch every one of them, they occupy space that is supposed to be filled with plastic.

I didn't realise the deal had been published already with no announcement.

Could you give a link please so that people can start to see what they are talking about ? Thanks
