Yeah,This isn’t even THE deal.It’s just the withdrawal agreement that lets us start the real negotiations.
As you say,Anything can be changed during the future partnership negotiations if both sides agree.
Parliament needs to pull their fingers out and stop pissing around now.
I don’t think there’s any way this is going through though.
There’s Corbyn and his cronies who just want to disrupt anything that’s Tory related.
Then the likes of Ree-Smog and the ERG who may or may not get cold feet and vote in favour of this.
Then Soubry and TIG who will never ever vote for any deal and the same with the Lib Dems.
Theresa went to Europe and got some ‘legally binding assurance’ that the backstop can be time limited.That could possibly change the stance of the ERG but if the last vote result is anything to go by.That won’t be enough.
