I live and work in the UK. I'm not retired with a nice guaranteed pension insulating me from a bad deal. I need BoJo to pull his fingers out and get a great deal with the EU and indeed all the other countries that we trade with.

There are few if any positive things anyone is saying about Brexit right now. All the Leavers I know acknowledge the government is making a pig's ear of negotiations. Even your fellow Berkshire resident has expressed similar views.

My views on Brexit have been clear - I accept it but the government should have delayed the end of the WA as there was insufficient time to get a good deal with the EU and 150 other countries in place by the end of 2020.

When Coronavirus hit the UK, I said it was even more important to delay it so the government could focus on Coronavirus and not end up doing both things badly. You said it could do both and do them well. We've now got one of the worst global death rates, we've suffered the largest recession of all G7 economies, we have no deal yet with the EU and with precious few of the other 150 countries and Scotland wants to leeave the UK. And trading on WTO terms is not yet agreed and is no mere formality.

It's not a great state of affairs, Old Boy.

Perhaps you should wait and see what deal we get, then,Andrew. It is not helpful to have all these ‘noises off’ when attempting delicate negotiations. It was those making the noise last time which empowered the EU to take a tougher line.

As for the coronavirus, that is being covered in another thread and most people I am talking to amongst my contacts have already concluded the same as I have, and with no prompting from me, either!

Let's hope that as negotiators knuckle down, Boris won't forget what he promised the British people.

Go now to avoid disappointment is my advice.

You're possibly right. As he recently forgot his advice on Coronavirus, to expect him to remember something from four years ago is probably, as you might say, pushing the boat out. ;)
