Geography dictates that EU membership, or failing that 'virtual' membership, is more or less essential. Which of course, is why we ended up joining in the first place. Imo, it's only a matter of time before the UK effectively 'rejoins' in some form.

Why were some people were allowed votes???
We have left, get over it, nothing cannot be sorted.
Macron et al will soon stop posturing.

Just as you will have to get over it when we inevitably join the single market.

We've left.
It's a bloody long way from sorted though.
New regs on January 1st to screw things up further.
I hear 'Pork Markets' is already squealing about Article 16, no doubt to appear tough and more Thatcherite.
Thing is, it does have to get sorted. The GFA has to be upheld.
Norway style is the way to go. If a few Gammon explode along the way, tough titty. Or 'No Deal', with all that entails.
We voted. That's done.
Would have been much better if anyone on the majority side had a clue what they were voting for though.

A) Whatever is done by man, can also be undone by man!
B) That same fact, provides a great deal of scope when it comes to finalising our relationship with the EU.
Imagine the scene at the next Gen Elec, when disillusioned with so many broken Tory levelling-up promises, Northerners return to the Lab fold in droves. The Lib-Dems also stand to gain Con seats, at least based on their truly outstanding performance at the recent by-election.
Thus, it's possible we could have either a Lab, or a Lib-Lab Govt within a matter of years. Both are largely pro-EU. Once in power, they could simply go back to the EU and say: 'we know and you know that Brexit was a mistake, so let's do something about it. Let us back in, in all but name - and the job's a good-un'!

If only Brexit was done, there are still many issues unsorted, if these are so simple to sort out, why has it taken so many years and still chaos reigns.
I voted Remain, not because I'm a dedicated Europhile but for two clear reasons, 1) We were clearly being lied to, as has been proven.
2) Pretty certain that the alleged benefits were far outweighed by penalties and the whole thing would become a dog's breakfast, again events have confirmed all of this.
Of course a la Mail Express etc, all the problems are down to the EU being awkward, not so, we agreed a lousy deal, now want to renegotiate.

Which would mean going back in lock stock and barrel.
The current problems are entirely sortable and when Macron has finished posturing for his re-election the grownups will sort it.
Only a fool would throw away our hard won freedoms and opportunities.
The UK is on the way to an unprecedented boom.

There is no chaos.

Lol, Really? Not with UK exports to EU hamstrung by red tape and import charges, whilst our global exports (and imports) are hit hard by the massive jump in cost of long-distance shipping!

Oh dear.
I do hope our "government" don't think it's Macron posturing. Not least because they like to think they have a monopoly on that activity.
Do tell us about the freedoms and opportunities? It's Christmas and I am missing the panto. Confine it to those we didn't have before, please.
"Unprecedented boom"...love it. Fiji is going to have to buy a LOT of stuff isn't it?

I've just read that much of the daily engagement with Brussels will actually be carried out by Liz Truss's deputy, Chris Heaton-Harris.
He used to chair the ERG.
So a swivel-eyed Libertarian loon at the helm of negotiations. He's a climate change denier, made Orwellian attacks on University lecturers for discussing Brexit, had meetings with the far right Spanish VOX Party.
He describes himself as a 'fierce Eurosceptic'. No negotiating skills apparent - certainly no experience in trade deals.
So a steady hand on the tiller...
Which links back to the thread I started a few days ago. The ERG are basically in control of England. The US Republican owned party within a party, are extremely far right and extremely sinister.
Bad news for all of us.

Isn't it strange how with the background of GDP in decline Brexiteers are still telling us about how there will be some marvellous industrial renaissance, but they are unable to tell us how?.
It won't be the US.
It won't be the EU
It won't be China.
So that's the world's three largest markets....
