It's great news and it's a terriffic coup for the Government. Congratulations to all concerned.
Word has it that Google has been promised something on the freedom of movement front; only time will tell if these rumours are true
.
Well I'm sure there'll be a 'memo' conveniently leaked by someone with an axe to grind if any such 'deal' has been done. In the meantime we can all carry on feeding the rumour factory and debating its output. Maybe it'll eventually float on the stock exchange like Snapchat and make someone very rich...

Brexit is going to be very complicated and there will be differences of opinion amongst those who support it and are going to have to do the negotiations. There'll be arguments and disagreements along the way just like there were amongst the allies in WWII. So what? It's inevitable. I think what we're seeing here is the media seeking unequivocal answers to a whole lot of questions which can't yet be answered and then baying for blood when they're not forthcoming because it's that which sells papers. It's a win win for them because their pages and airtime get filled either way but for HMG is just means having to spend more time/effort defending what's been/being done whilst trying not to give away too much.

I wish someone out there would leak some memos telling us what the EU's big plan for Brexit is and how well that's going. Evidently they were just as surprised as we were about the result so does anyone think they have a credible policy which is agreed to by all? Odd that we're not getting anything on that side of things isn't it. I suppose it's much more fun for the media here to present the UK as being the mother of all chaos...
