So with only relative few days to go, what does your crystal ball say will happen? Deal or no deal?
I’m going for wafer thin deal that delivers no real benefits but is dressed up as a triumph.
Derek it could be the best deal in the world but all you will say what's beneficial to it what we have now.
Move on Derek the country is skint because of covid its a free ticket at starting from scratch.
I'd be happy with unilateral free trade in goods, but then I've always been happy with that outcome.

Explains a lot.

Isn't that the ideal benchmark to judge it against? If it's not better than what we have now, why bother?

You mean like we had?
Despite all the posturing and pretending to care about fishing I do think there will be a deal. Obviously it will be worse than the current system but the UK has made its bed so that's that. Johnson gets to say "we've left" and blame any resultant economic woes on Covid. Quite handy really. Free trade (why unilateral?) would be nice which I think we might get as we need access to their energy market.
I've got my Irish citizenship and French residency in the works so hopefully will be ok, although hundreds of British jobs in my company alone have gone, never mind the travel industry at large. We're trusting that UK demand for European travel will still be there, despite the increased costs consumers will face.

No. Not like we had.

No, we had reciprocal free trade, which is good.
He wants unilateral free trade, in other words what Somalia does, which is stupid
So something that is something in the theory books about something that won't work then.
