Cable Forum - View Single Post - UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal

There isn't much to be vocal about really is there? The argument is settled now. The Government has a mandate and the majority to pass the agreement.

I think there are positives here. The size of the majority means Johnson will not be in hock to the whims of the ERG. This will hopefully give him more room to negotiate the next stage of Brexit and make concessions which was what caused issues for May and Johnson during the Article 50 talks.

Most importantly this is hopefully now a period of calm and boredom in British politics. A less fractious time, although I worry the U.K will break up soon.
