That's pretty rose-tinted. Boris Johnson said that no PM should ever sign up to an agreement that would allow the EU to impose tariffs, well this deal makes that a reality in the short to medium term, especially considering that the EU is always looking at ways to raise standards, and we are in a race to the bottom. It's tariff-free at the moment, but it won't be for long. The rest isn't political preference when it affects the daily lives of Uk citizens. No one voted to leave because it would cost jobs, shrink the economy, and raise the cost of living.

Political preference was never mentioned in amongst sunlit uplands, and funding the NHS. It's all a load of bollocks. It's a bad deal with real world consequences. That's a fact.

Not really. We already know enough about what was given away, and what we got in return. If you ever had any interest at all in the debate you could explain why I'm wrong, but we both know you don't have that interest.

Even in that post I gave facts that should be easily disprovable to a debate-minded guy like yourself.
