This is a withdrawal agreement not a trade deal.
Negotiations on a trade deal will start after we leave.

We would have to go to the ECJ to get out. Not ideal but there is a mechanism.
You have said a trade deal should give people what they wanted, and it may be possible to solve the underlying issues. It may not, and it’ll entirely be at the discretion of Brussels if it does. [/quote] it will be negotiated
