I'd say more likely France will use it for leverage during the exit negotiations, given that they are going to be handled by the Council rather than the Commission.

I stand corrected. Just brought images of pigs to mind.

it's the easy words I have difficulty with. The hard ones I usually get right. Take Farage for example. I've been calling him Ferage. Long as that's all I call him I'm sure he won't mind. Shame he's resigned though.

Is it right Theresa May in prepared to accept freedom of movement for the single market? If this is the case, why the referendum? We may as well stay as we are.

This was stated many many times by the 'remain' campaign. Access to the single market is dependent on the freedom of movement

I think Switzerland may be about to also find out this one...

I like Ken Clarke, he really doesn't give a toss who he upsets. Loved it when he was made Health minister - an overweight, chain smoking. spirit drinker...... He and Hestletine were usually right on the EU but his party never listened.
