It has been a very long game to get to this point. Whatever the withdrawal agreement says, it is, crucially, a treaty between the European Union and a third party. We are going to be outside the EU. That is the critical victory we have won. What we do with that status - what “changes”, as you put it - is for future generations of voters and politicians to decide. The point is, British policy is decided in Britain, not Brussels. That’s something I think some of the ERG have lost sight of in the febrile atmosphere of the past few weeks.
So what you're saying is as long as it has the word Brexit, attached, and no matter what the cost or conditions, it's worth it.
BRINO I'm afraid old chap, read the WA.
