These will simply be common sense arrangements to ensure the border arrangements do not cause a problem. As we already comply, that should not present the UK with a problem.

What this agreement has shown is that despite all the ludicrous comments that the Government was in chaos and would never be able to reach a deal with the EU which would implement the electoral result required, Theresa May has been steadily moving towards her goal.

The 'chaos' results from tne simple fact that the government is in a minority in the House of Commons. The fact that despite this, TM has achieved the nod to go forward to the second phase of negotiations, is testament to her professional approach and determination.

Jeremy Corbyn would have caved in by now.

Oh bless.
