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

1. Free in the sense that a tier of Government above our UK Government has been removed. A big win for those that hate too many tiers of control.
Prosperous ? That is a pipe dream and the price of "Free". That is why I am so keen on a Switzerland type deal to minimise the loss. We have taken a small step on that path but future governments have to go much further. I reckon a Customs Union proposal - to create a Turkey deal - is the next step but they'll need a new mandate. Rejoining EFTA quickly is a smart move if they have vision.
2. Forget that cheque. It was always a lie.

Not so sure the fishing communities of Scotland and Cornwall that have had there history and jobs destroyed are very happy about at least another 5 years of one sided fishing . Go speak to them I have ! In Cornwall

Yes, but they knew exactly what they were voting for - so we are repeated told - so surely happy days for them ?

It is indeed a result. What that actual result is, who won and by how many, I'm guessing we won't know for a little while yet

For the first time since 1973, the UK will be an independent coastal state with full control of its waters, he says.
The UK’s share of fish in its waters will rise substantially, he says, from roughly half today to closer to two-thirds in 5.5 years time.

Brilliant news. We get to eat our cake, & no tariffs.
Boris has booked himself another election victory.

We have completed the biggest trade deal yet worth £166bn a year, a comprehensive Canada-style free trade deal with the EU, he says.
The deal will protect jobs, allow UK goods to be sold without tariffs and quotas in the EU market, allow companies to do even more business with Europe, he says.
Yet, it achieves taking back control of our laws and our destiny, he says.
From 1 Jan, we are outside the customs union and single market, he says.
British laws will be made solely by the British parliament, interpreted by UK judges sitting in UK courts and the jurisdiction of the ECJ will come to an end, he says.

It is a start.
A Canada deal was never good enough though. Over time and in small steps we need to make it into a Switzerland deal.

It's like that old Aussie joke: Q: How do you know when the flight from London has landed at Sydney Airport? A: The engines have been switched off but the whining noise continues

Are we still covered by that EU healthcare card, are our drivers licences still valid in Europe, are pet passports still available?
Come on these are the important questions to the average person.

Do we fast track through in the EU and Switzerland queue at airports or go in the slow lane ?
Rubbish. London will still be the European capital of financial services. It may be slightly watered down but 80k jobs won't go !! .. so far only a few hundred jobs have gone.
