It's obvious you guys want Britain to get a bad deal. You may get your wish. I don't know what's going on in the negotiations. Do you shaggy ? The fact the EU has offered something and wants something in return is no surprise that's what you do in negotiations. My feeling is a deal will be done and it's being worked on as we speak. What's significant in the story is the EU have blinked and offered something that breaks the EU model which was the immovable sticking point. It's now moved. Watch when the deal takes shape the Irish border to miraculously be solved overnight once it is no longer an EU bargaining chip. I might be totally wrong but let's see
Of course a deal will be done Stan. Only the lunatics want a no deal Brexit. But there won't be a victory for either slde and both sides will have to give and take. The big question then is once the final deal has been agreed will Brexit have been delivered.
The UK have folded on every major point up to this point. The EU haven't blinked (that's an Express headline) they have thrown May a lifeline. The EU's biggest fear is that May is overthrown and replaced by a hardline Brexiteer.
How they solve the Irish border issue is going to be very interesting, but solve it they must.
There are very worrying reports of legislation passing through the UK parliament at the moment in relation to the Irish border.
