Trade deals with no immigration, that kind of thing.
It's all I hear, Vicky... especially on here... how gullible was the electorate who voted to leave, they believed all that money would go to the NHS every year. No one believed that, Not even Boris, I suspect.

I voted leave because I want us to take control of our own borders not be told who we can and can't let in, and so that our courts could not be overruled by foreign judges. The reason we have not left yet, in my view, is twofold... Mrs May is intransigent and would take no advice from anyone, pushing her lame duck deal through time after tie to be voted down. And much of Parliament, including some Tory MPs, would have overruled anything that was produced because the majority of them are remainers, despite what their constituents voted.

If we had no deal on the date we were leaving, we should have just left with no deal. We buy more German cars than the Germans, and look at all the stuff we import from the EU. No one thinks those sellers wouldn't want to sell to us, so it's in the EU's best interest to broker a decent deal for everyone... but no, they can't make it look too easy because if they did, other countries would follow.

One thing I'm certain of... it's a ****ing mess.
