None of it we can, or should. The country is signed up to the EU treaties until Brexit day.
I'm fairly certain the EU would be quite bothered if we started tearing up the treaties early. They would have no choice politically but to retaliate, probably by withdrawing our access to the Single Market early. I appreciate this is something you'd love to happen but those who live and trade in a bigger world really don't.
I have no idea whether you negotiate anything or are purely a manual worker, but as a general rule upsetting people before you negotiate with them isn't a great way to get a good result.
The attitude you seem to want to take towards the EU, basically ''eff it and 'eff them' terrifies UK businesses for good reasons. Between that and the government deciding it wants to start controlling the economy more, that'll be the bastion of free trade stuff kicking in, we quickly become an even less attractive location for investment.
We aren't entitled to investment from abroad. We keep sending out these signals about making it harder for them to do business here all the corporation tax cuts in the world won't help us, shell companies don't tend to employ many staff or pay that much tax.[COLOR="Silver"]

That's a very jobsworth attitude you have there .Mustn't whatever we do upset those pesky Eurocrats

Why ? what could possibly be so important to Brussels about deporting a few scummy criminals and not letting them back .We've always been allowed to do it the only reason we don't more often is Brussels makes it so bloody hard.

In retrospect it probably would have been better if Boris had become leader. May seems like she is drastically over-compensating for being a Remainer by putting the boot in as much as possible.

Why ,when we have left the EU those companies will not be able to employ foreign workers at lower wages and lower conditions ,instead they will have employ some of 2 million sitting on dole and pay a living wage
