Indeed good news. I would say that notwithstanding my preference for a clean break with the EU, it is the tariff/quota free trade deal that makes this possible.

The political situation is quite interesting and highlights what's wrong with the EU as a supreme entity. Although it's likely to get sorted, the NHS App for Covid passport purposes is not accepted yet by the EU. Yet several nations within the EU do accept the App is evidence of vaccination. In other words, the EU is dysfunctional. That begs the question as to whether one federation, run entirely by Brussels and the Parliament will ever happen.
