I dunno; you asked when do we leave, I told you that we've already left and that the negotiations with the EU are scheduled to end at the end of this year.Where are all these trade deals we were supposed to be negotiating? There are 195 countries on the planet so far we have one deal.
The rights and wrongs of brexit have been done to death it’s happening, you think Johnson and his cronies would be a lot further along than this by now. If we can extract the maximum benefit of leaving the EU have we got the wrong people in charge of making it happen? The governments handling of covid gives me no confidence they can get the actual thing they have been given a mandate for right.
I'm assuming it's WTO rules tbh, can't see much time for deals now.I dunno; you asked when do we leave, I told you that we've already left and that the negotiations with the EU are scheduled to end at the end of this year.

Maybe the lorry parks are an empty gesture to demonstrate our commitment to 'no deal' if there wasn't a FTA - maybe they are just not needed in truth? It's always struck me as strange that we would apparently lose all this trade yet still have all these lorries. At least one of those things is bollocks. I'm pretty sure all buisness have been aware of the coming apocalypse on 01 Jan so have probably prepared for it.Still a transitional period as the EU rules stop on January the 1st. What’s in place after that? Have they built this lorry park and passport control around Kent yet?
Do you not think 4 years and having 1 trade deal agreed in that time is a bit concerning? Brexit is happening, what are they doing to maximise the benefit of it? Johnson made a speech to the CBI and didn’t even mention leaving Europe yesterday, there’s a lot of concern from businesses being under prepared for 1st of January whilst having to fend off a pandemic.

Still time. Next couple of weeks crucial.I'm assuming it's WTO rules tbh, can't see much time for deals now.
Nope a deal needs to be ratified by 27 countries and our parliament in 8 weeks. A deal needs to be done in the next few days for that process to stand a chance of getting done.January 2020.
The end of negotiations is in two months.
We get lorry parks any way because deal or no deal we’re leaving the Customs Union, so there will need to be checks on goods which will cause delays and slow the flow of lorries. Unless we don't actually leave the customs union which would be a betrayal of all the Brexit ultras.Maybe the lorry parks are an empty gesture to demonstrate our commitment to 'no deal' if there wasn't a FTA - maybe they are just not needed in truth?

I suppose it may happen as one last act of kindness from the EU, but as the UK is of so little consequence to them I honestly can't see them bothering. They have much more pressing internal problems to deal with.Unless the deal replicates all the existing arrangements, with a couple of soundbites on fishing plus how it’s actually costing us more overall buried in the detail.
My guess is that’s more likely than WTO.
If it replicates all existing arrangements then that's BRINO which is fine by me. Totally pointless but better than the alternative. However we do seem intent on leaving the Customs Union and Single Market so any deal will be a bit more than just rolling everything over.Unless the deal replicates all the existing arrangements, with a couple of soundbites on fishing plus how it’s actually costing us more overall buried in the detail.

I didn't think the EU let us do deals until after we'd left? I share your concern at the control they have excerted in this respectNot answered the question have you 4 years 1 trade deal is that progress?

I think we've been allowed since Jan 20, my point is that it's actually 10 months rather than four years.Well we have one with Japan so it must be allowed in some sense before January the 1st. I would imagine it’s like when the transfer window is shut and clubs negotiate fee and wages and then pull the trigger on a transfer in June. I’m hoping they have a few rabbits to pull out of the hat on deals if they are keeping quiet on it.
They gave us a 21-month transition and we wasted half of that, and refused longer.I didn't think the EU let us do deals until after we'd left? I share your concern at the control they have excerted in this respect
They wouldn't give us CU and SM unless we stumped up the subs.If it replicates all existing arrangements then that's BRINO which is fine by me. Totally pointless but better than the alternative.

But true to the Leave promise that we'd still be in a free trade zone from Iceland to the Russian border. I say betray the liar ultras.We get lorry parks any way because deal or no deal we’re leaving the Customs Union, so there will need to be checks on goods which will cause delays and slow the flow of lorries. Unless we don't actually leave the customs union which would be a betrayal of all the Brexit ultras.
YepThey wouldn't give us CU and SM unless we stumped up the subs.
Sounds like the will just wasn't there then.They gave us a 21-month transition and we wasted half of that, and refused longer.
