"Sufficient progress has been made in Brexit talks, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has said; paving the way for talks on the future UK-EU relationship. Very refreshing breaking news broadcast on all stations this morning, suggest you listen to it fully before commenting stings starting to progress well for UK" "Giant steps are what we take, walking on the moon" Ooopps...not that Sting. | |||

"So it is going to all be about the U.K. maintaining regulatory alignment with the EU Customs Union. Presumably then we agree with EU trade laws about origination and quality but have no say in those laws? Sounds like staying in the Customs Union to me but in the way that this Govt is so fond of - calling it something else. " If the UK has put a condition in the agreement that we must be free to make our own trade deals with other countries then that means we are not in the customs union. You can't make trade deals with other countries if you are in the customs union. | |||

I wanted to leave the customs union so we'd be free to make our own trade deals with other countries and it looks like Theresa May has secured that agreement. | |||

As the reports of the agreement show regulatory alignment will only come into force when other solutions cannot be found. The UK can put forward others solutions first before agreeing to regulatory alignment. Looks like the agreement can also divide up different sectors where some sectors may be susceptible to regulatory alignment other sectors will be completely free from it. Oh and after all that we're still free to make our own trade deals. You CAN'T be in the customs union and make your own trade deals. | |||

"My understanding of the divorce bill is that we have possibly agreed a sum in the region of 40 billion sterling. This is paid over several tens of years and is reviewed on a yearly basis in line with our present monetary commitments. So while a massive amount of money at least we don't have to pay it all up front, and the yearly payments will be significantly lower than to 8 to 10 billion we are paying now." If that's right then that looks like a good outcome on the divorce bill. Some on here kept insisting we'd pay more than £50 billion. I said the UK would end up paying less than £50 billion. £40 Billion seems like a bargain considering the EU started off with a figure of £100 billion. | |||

"The capitulation. The collapse. The hilarity. Centaur is spinning so fast and hard that if you hooked him up to a generator he could power the whole of the EU. Divorce payment: £50 billion as reported by the Guardian, The Times, the Independent, The Sun, The Telegraph, The BBC, RTE, ITV, Channel 4, Financial Times, The Daily Mail, The Express and more. £45bn to £55bn was the initial leak. Its £50bn. May concedes, Centaur wrong. There was never £100bn request from the EU. That was the Financial Times own estimate. The final bill was just over £80bn but the EU owed the UK money too and it quite rightly had no problem paying it. The Divorce Bill is also heavily weighted towards the next 3 years with the UK paying their contribution for 2019 and 2020. The deal means that the UK will remain under EU trading rules and have to follow directives. It can apply for some changes but the EU can reject them. Viva le self determination. Stormount can also veto any changes that Westminster wishes to make to regulations. The UK has its sovreignty back...as long as the EU and Northern Ireland both say its ok. In the absence of a deal at the end of this the UK will remain in full regulatory alignment with the EU. Some things are agreed before everything is agreed. And if a deal fails the UK stays in the customs union so wheres the leverage for the UK in upcoming negotiations? Give us what we want or we'll do what you tell us to anyway?? But Ill leave the final words here to Centaurs idol, Mr. Nigel Farage: "Frankly, there have been no negotiations. We've waited months and months and we've agreed to all the things that the EU insisted on". And that is a good thing because it means Brexit does not mean Brexit and that Britain has a better future for staying as close as possible to the EU." Hark, I think I can hear Brexiteers calling 'victory' in the face of defeat. Hilarious! ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

You can't make trade deals with other countries if you are in the customs union. " Actually that's not true. Turkey is in a customs union with the EU but is free to do trade deals with other countries, as long as those trade deals don't conflict with the EU's rules. For example importing cheap substandard food from Africa or the US. So we'll be able to do trade deals but they'll have be cleared by the EU first before we can actually implement them. Well done BREXITers, you've just negotiated a deal that puts Britain's trading future firmly into the hands of the EU and taken away our ability to have any influence over it. Never new that that's what "take back control" meant. | |||

"Poor old Nige is having a meltdown bless him...well he got what hes always wanted ![]() ![]() ![]() Pathetic? He is the most successful politician and led the most successful political party in British history! They only campaigned on 2 issues, and for virtually all of their existence had no MP's and then only 1 defector in the House of Commons. They campaigned originally to save the £, and we never adopted the Euro. Luckily. They then campaigned to leave the European Union. So scared was Cameron of losing votes to UKIP, he allowed the referendum, and we voted to leave the EU. UKIP has a 100% success record. No other political party can boast that! | |||

I suggest you do some research before you spout such nonsense in future, as ukip got 7 elected members to the devolved Welsh assembly in the last elections there....far from being 'crushed' that was a very good result for ukip. | |||

Well that it might be for me. But it would be a piss-poor performance if I claimed to be a professional snooker player. Or just even a good player. UKIP campaigned on a single issue. They didn't have to bother writing any actual policies or pretending to have any actual answers to the problems. They were just agitators. It is pretty easy to do that. Or put another way, if UKIP have spent the last couple of decades campaigning to leave the EU, then why don't they have a plan for how to leave? Why are all the intricacies of this such a surprise to them? Why aren't they going "OK, Theresa, step aside, we've got this covered. We've got a plan for what we are going, we've been working on it for ages". They aren't because they are charlatans. They are driven by an emotional desire to return the country back to the middle ages, and that is it. They can happily point out all the bits they don't like, but offer no actual solutions to those problems. I could campaign to be mayor of my city. I could say any bullshit I wanted to get elected. Doesn't mean I'd be any good as a politician, or actually help society in any way by doing so. I might even get my deposit back. That would be a very good result for me. Still a shit result. The only reason the referendum happened was Cameron used UKIP to try and bring onside some more of the hardline Tories. Just in the same way May is using the DUP to try and bolster her position after her atrocious election. UKIP aren't clever, or successful... they just happen to be useful saps that can be used as necessary. -Matt | |||

Regardless, it is a far cry from "They can whistle for it". And still 3-4 times what our annual membership fee to the EU was per annum. As for the ECJ... I guess HMG best work out what 'advisory' means before then. They haven't had the best track record with that word so far in the debacle, have they? I'm really not sure how an advisory ruling would work. I mean, considering our own Supreme Court judges are 'enemies of the people' according to the leavers. How do you see this working out? Surely a court has to have authority or not? And as for NI, it basically means 'no we've not actually worked anything out'. All they have done is the usual Tory bullshit of try and obscure things in language subtleties. They can now wriggle around saying 'Well, it is sort of aligned... if you squint'. And it is going to be applied to some sectors and not others? OK great... I'm sure the negotiations on that will go just swimmingly. What if my sector is/isn't 'aligned'. Do I get any say in this? How about the EU27... wonder what they will say when it comes down to them voting on it. Not really taking back control in any manner at all is it? What does it even mean anyway? You state: "the UK is free to put forward solutions to avoid regulatory alignment first. Only when all other avenues have been exhausted will any regulatory alignment be applied." What does that *actually* mean? Give me an example. Let's say I'm a dairy farmer in NI. What do those words actually mean to me? Sounds like mumbo jumbo bullshit to me. -Matt | |||

"my god centy is "spinning" for his life today........ one teeny weeny question though... If this deal is as good as you trying to portray it is.... why are farage, and ukip, the "Leave means leave" group and leave.eu all absolutely frothing at the bit! ![]() Centy has moved past caring about anything other than counting this as a win. No matter the outcome he'll spin it as a victory. Farage et al still want what theyve always wanted so theyre pissed. It was reported 2 weeks ago that they didnt care what figure was announced because they got full settlement on everything in the divorce bill. They said they were happy to let the uk announce whatever they wanted because it would keep brexiters happy. Centaur being an obvious case. | |||

To bolster the support for her government. Did she achieve that? No, she spectacularly lost her majority and had to bribe the DUP in order to form a government. Why did Labour call the election? They didn't. What did they achieve? A massive surge in support and votes. They overturned a number of very safe Tory seats (e.g. Kensington & Chelsea).

"This is only part 1 - the easy bit - we all wanted citizens rights, Irish border and then the controversial divorce bill sorted satisfactorily.That is right, brexitors thought this is the final deal, there are many parts left." The trade deal can't even be signed until after we leave. There is going to be a transition deal, so we will still be in the CU & SM and under the ECJ for many years to come, and still contributing to the EU budget! This is what Brexit means Brexit means, right? | |||

"So then Centy is arguing that ther court wil be advisory...but the referendum was a vote not an advisory one....strange how people think ![]() ![]() This is definitely judicial independence. Its just that the ECJ will get referrals and the UK will possibly have to follow regulations and directives. But apart from that and the Northern Asembleys veto power Westminster can do whatever it wants. I think the phrase Brexit means Brexit is dead. And thankfully the phrase "Nothing is agreed until everything agreed" can be consigned to the rubbish bin since we have agreement that if nothing else is agreed that regulatory alignment is now the fall back. | |||

Next point on regulations, regulatory alignment or what ever the hell you want to call it, also only has a shelf life of 8 years because EU rules regulations, and treaties, etc are only enforced by the ECJ. As Brexit Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg pointed out on the Nigel Farage LBC radio show yesterday once we are fully out of the ECJ (which after today's developments we know will be 8 years) then the ECJ will not be able to enforce EU rules or regulations here by law. Our own Parliament and courts can change the rules if we so wish. Hard Brexit is no where near dead, after 8 years it's the ECJ which will be dead here and all the EU rules and regulations that go with it. | |||

If we wanted out of the ECJ we'd just say so... and we'd be out next year. There is a reason we don't want to be out of it. You seem to be suggesting above that the only reason we'd play by the EU rules is because the ECJ would be looking over our shoulder. Let me give you a hint... China isn't bound by EU rules and doesn't have the ECJ making sure it adheres to EU rules.... do you think it's good and services just turn up in the EU regardless? -Matt | |||

Hard Brexit is no where near dead, after 8 years it's the ECJ which will be dead here and all the EU rules and regulations that go with it. " ECJ has a minimum shelf life of 8 years. Under the 2nd round of negotiations that might be extended. Of course the ECJ doesnt have jurisdiction over Norway, its the EFTA court. Largely the same but it has a different name so its a possibility that May will go for that and Brexiters can claim its a victory. And Switzerland has to abide by the laws it accepts from the EU in return for access even without the EFTA or ECJ courts so those regulations will be there to stay. | |||

"Message to Brexiters... Just because someone says something that you want to believe is true doesn’t mean that it is true. The promoters and sponsors of Brexit know which buttons to press and how to work you over. “Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed” is designed to keep you quiet and keep you on side but unfortunately paragraph 49 of today’s agreement proves that statement to be worthless because in black and white, it says that if nothing is agreed the whole of the U.K. will follow regulatory alignment with the EU.

So what happens the the N Ireland border if today’s agreement goes up in smoke? Are we to believe that assurances given by the Government of the United Kingdom are completely worthless?

In our personal lives we refer to this as being selfish because we care more about getting what we want than the effects and collateral damage to others. The Irish border will be your Brexit killer and you just need to read up a little about international law to understand why.

"Seems the DUP still have reservations and that the Maybot just decided to sign up without their OK... So the done deal may not be quite so done, and that is before the Tory euro-sceptic brexiteers have their say. But why am I not surprised that our authoritarian PM with the nickname of the submarine may well have independently launched some more brexit torpedoes. Will be interesting to see if this deal holds of if this will be the Maybots latest foray into the bold march forward, about turn, double back while claiming she is strong and stable..." The thing is, the deals done. Its too late to back out now. If the Tories want to hold May accountable for her actions thats up to them, but it doesnt effect the agreement anymore than it means article 50 has to be retriggered or redoing anything else she's done as PM. The DUPs concern seems to be that hardline Tories would be against the deal. But Mays done the first sensible thing in the whole negotiation and put country before party. And why is Centaur talking about some BBC presenters opinion and ignoring poor old Nige' is he not flavout of the month anymore? Or is he just not a useful opinion anymore. In case you missed it Centyhe said this was "a surrender" a "humiliation" "pathetic" that the EU got everything it wanted. And he slammed Mays dishonesty in claiming that the UK was the ultimate arbitrator when it comes to EU citizens but the text says its the ECJ. | |||

"So it is going to all be about the U.K. maintaining regulatory alignment with the EU Customs Union. Presumably then we agree with EU trade laws about origination and quality but have no say in those laws? Sounds like staying in the Customs Union to me but in the way that this Govt is so fond of - calling it something else. If the UK has put a condition in the agreement that we must be free to make our own trade deals with other countries then that means we are not in the customs union. You can't make trade deals with other countries if you are in the customs union. Actually that's not true. Turkey is in a customs union with the EU but is free to do trade deals with other countries, as long as those trade deals don't conflict with the EU's rules. For example importing cheap substandard food from Africa or the US. So we'll be able to do trade deals but they'll have be cleared by the EU first before we can actually implement them. Well done BREXITers, you've just negotiated a deal that puts Britain's trading future firmly into the hands of the EU and taken away our ability to have any influence over it. Never new that that's what "take back control" meant." It's not a full customs union though, there are various things specifically excluded in 'essential economic areas' for example agriculture, services, and public procurement. There is, however, an understanding that Turkey will start to align to 'the acquis communautaire' particularly on industrial standards with the EU, as part of the accession process. | |||

"I'm neither, but those are the facts of UKIP. 2 massive issues. 2 successes. Absolute tosh...all those years campaigning he never once managed to get elected to the UK parliament...in fact they got crushed at every single election apart from the EU's ones....i honestly think people didnt think the EU elections were that important in this country...in fact i know they wasn't by the turnouts...they only got elected on a very low turn out as people couldn't be bothered....but i bet they would be now ![]() You mean, UKIP were able to have major influence on 2 major issues from being outside a parliament? Why do you think people didn't think the EU elections were important? | |||

"The thing is, the deals done. Its too late to back out now. If the Tories want to hold May accountable for her actions thats up to them, but it doesnt effect the agreement anymore than it means article 50 has to be retriggered or redoing anything else she's done as PM. The DUPs concern seems to be that hardline Tories would be against the deal. But Mays done the first sensible thing in the whole negotiation and put country before party. And why is Centaur talking about some BBC presenters opinion and ignoring poor old Nige' is he not flavout of the month anymore? Or is he just not a useful opinion anymore. In case you missed it Centyhe said this was "a surrender" a "humiliation" "pathetic" that the EU got everything it wanted. And he slammed Mays dishonesty in claiming that the UK was the ultimate arbitrator when it comes to EU citizens but the text says its the ECJ." Actually that is not so, the (15 page) agreement that the Maybot signed up to has no legal standing and can therefore be reneged on at any point until it is written into a legally binding international treaty (like the Good Friday Agreement and all the EU treaties that past Tories signed up to). Of course we all know how much store the Tories and DUP hold such legally binding international treaties in from how they have been attempting to use a threat of breaking such treaties if they do not get their way... | |||

"Hi. If you consider that Theresa May had an atrocious election campaign how would you describe the performance of other parties.? It must be a lot worse than atrocious as none of them could come even close to returning the result achieved by Theressa May . Here, we fucking go again. Why did May call the election? To bolster the support for her government. Did she achieve that? No, she spectacularly lost her majority and had to bribe the DUP in order to form a government. Why did Labour call the election? They didn't. What did they achieve? A massive surge in support and votes. They overturned a number of very safe Tory seats (e.g. Kensington & Chelsea). Given that, who do you think went home at the end of the day and patted themselves on the back and said "We did well here!" and who do you think went back and said "Shit, that didn't go as we planned". -Matt" All that is true but the question no seems to be asking or answering (maybe for another thread) is 'why is Labour still only running neck & neck with the Tories?'. We have what's starting to look like the most incompetent government in 200 years with its main economic policy more than likely to lead to a massive economic downturn for the UK, and yet Labour is questionably only just one or two points ahead in the poles: It should be way ahead under these circumstances, why isn't it? | |||

It binds us for all intent and purpose to all the EU's rules, makes it almost impossible to make any far reaching trade deals with other countries and any trade deals we do do will have to have the EU's approval, whilst at the same time we've given up are ability to actually have any say in the rules we will still have to implement. This deal makes the UK EU's poodle and takes control from the UK and to the EU. The amazing thing is most BREXITers are too short sighted to even see that. | |||

Funny how a 3 to 6 point lead in the opinion poles for the Tories was a portent of a Tory landslide just before the Maybot called a snap election a few months ago, then as those polls closed over the course of the campaign it was poll bias, and now when the same polls show a 6 to 8 point lead for Labour Labour is barely running neck a neck... Do I detect right wing bias from the 6 media groups owned by billionaire tax avoiding oligarchs? | |||

They never address the substantive issues with any more than a campaign phrase or an assertion. It's like religion.

I think we may have found his kryptonite ![]() ![]() And the worst fanatics for the cause are the converts. (enter stage right May & Hammond). It's almost like members if the sensible wing of the Consecutive Party are being taken of to the 'BREXIT room 101'. They go in saying sensible things like 'we need to trade with are EU partners', 'we'll stand by a international obligations', 'the EU has helped keep the peace in Europe for 70 years' but, after their BREXIT reduction walk out saying daft meaningless statements like 'BREXIT means BREXIT', 'taking back control', 'will of the people' and 'nothing is decided until everything is decided'. Well just to get the record straight it's clear now that BREXIT means whatever the person saying it wants it to mean, we've just given away our ability to have any control over future trade negotiations and that has already been definitely decided. BREXIT:- The most shortsighted, self destructive and nationally humiliating policy in British history. And these people have the nerve to question other people's patriotism. ![]() | |||

"So Fabio as a remainer are you happy with the deal struck so far then or not it's hard to tell ? Are you happy for brexit to push on to phase two now ? " I can't talk for Fabio but for myself I can say definitely NO!. Whilst this arrangement is probably the best arrangement possible, possibly even the only arrangement possible it is actually a very bad deal for Britain and Northern Ireland. It effectively leaves us under the complete control of the EU while removing our right to have any say whatsoevers, never mind actually veto or block, anything that is not in our national interests. This is exactly where those of us who opposed BREXIT feared it would end and, thanks to the blind stubbornness of BREXITers, it's exactly where we're going to end up. The EU's poodle. | |||

" am i happy as much as i can be at the progress that has been made.... sure... I don't think it really needed to take 8 months to get to where we are at at the moment! don't welch on honoured commitments, the citizens rights issues could have been done in good faith rather than hard brexiteers making a pawn of them! .. and the northern ireland issue ensuree we will probably have to remain is some sort of customs union.... my biggest gripe is actually them madness in that they you give people a vote on a blank canvas at the beginning, but we don't get a vote on the final deal in the end!!! don't you see a madness in that... | |||

I think we may have found his kryptonite ![]() I've talked about the Northern Ireland issue extensively in many posts on various threads here Fabio, it seems like you've just ignored them because you don't like what I've had to say about it. The UK always wanted to talk about the Northern Ireland border in parallel with trade talks and this was the uk's position right at the very start of the negotiations. It was the EU who wanted to separate Northern Ireland from the trade talks. As Brexiteer Conservative MP Steve Baker said yesterday on the BBC Daily politics programme, "We always knew the Northern Ireland border issue would never be solved while separate from the trade talks. At least now with this agreement the EU has conceded that the Northern Ireland border needs to be addressed in parallel with the trade talks, as we have wanted all along right from the start". So it looks like on this issue of Northern Ireland David Davis won the 'battle of the summer' after all then because the EU has conceded it has to be done in parallel with trade talks. It was always going to be the case and the EU were either too stupid or too stubborn to admit otherwise. The Northern Ireland border issue is intrinsically linked to issues around trade and unique solutions to the border can only be found while discussing customs and trade at the same time. Different sectors of business and industry can now be divided up and unique different solutions can be found to the unique set of circumstances that apply to those different sectors. | |||

There will be no border and the EUs worst case scenario is that the North and South will have regulatory alignment. Now that we've confirmed that there'll be no hard border theres been sufficient progress to move on. What the EU want is now the minimum and the EU will pursue a better solution in the coming months. | |||
