I asked you before but I guess you were busy. Give us ‘remoaners’ a boost!

I respect everyone's viewpoint and many of my friends voted differently from me last year but at least they voted. What I find disappointing sometimes on this forum is the overwhelming negativity from Leavers about the EU but no positivity and benefits from leaving it.

Presumably it's all part and parcel of the negotiations. Theresa May wrote in the Sunday Express and Sunday Telegraph. If he didn't, he would doubtless be accused of secrecy.

I've mentioned the Irish issue before as I just can't see how being outside the customs union and a soft Irish border are compatible. Now some senior officials are pointing this out too.

A leading European Commission official says there is a danger of a "contradiction" at the heart of Britain's separation deal with the EU.
Pierre Moscovici said it was difficult to see how an open border could be kept on the island of Ireland if Britain did not stay in a customs union.
If Britain did agree to a customs union arrangement then the UK could be barred from signing free trade agreements with other countries, he told the BBC.
The UK would have to follow EU rules.
