I'm confused. If we implement Cameron's agreement then we can repatriate these EU criminals. If we don't, we can't. And as I explained earlier, we need to keep the EU member states on board if we're to get a good settlement with them and trade deals afterwards. It's called diplomacy or common sense.

If you can grab a couple of minutes to read that fact-checking website you should find it useful. It concludes "These changes don’t deliver on the Prime Minister’s previous proposals for “tougher and longer” re-entry bans for foreign rough sleepers, beggars and fraudsters.
But they do qualify as “stronger powers to deport criminals and stop them coming back”.
I'm afraid that fact-checking websites are rather dry and less of an interesting read than UKIP tabloids like the Daily Express. But their findings are accurate and that's what's important...whatever your opinion of EU membership.

Britain slips down to become the sixth-largest economy in the World.
Quote:
Financial Times At the start of the week, the prime minister, chancellor, foreign secretary and Brexit secretary all boasted that Britain would get a good deal in EU talks because Britain was the fifth-largest economy in the world. At that stage their words could be justified with sterling worth €1.16 at the end of last week.
The paradox of the tough talk — with suggestions that Britain will leave the single market and clamp down heavily on immigration — has been to pull the rug from under sterling, leaving it at a post-Brexit low of €1.14 on Wednesday and below the point at which it is the fifth-largest economy.
