The additional 1.4m of their number are unfortunately still doing just that, fearful that Brexit will never happen.

I think you're right to point out that the talks aren't making much progress of late, particularly on the evidence of today's news.
Quote:
EU leaders will sound the alarm on the lack of progress in Brexit talks and pledge to step-up contingency plans for the UK crashing out with ‘no deal’, according to documents leaked to The Independent.
The 27 remaining EU presidents and prime ministers will meet in private without Theresa May at next week’s European Council summit in Brussels to discuss progress in negotiations.
But a draft of the Council’s conclusions show national leaders are planning to express their “concern that no substantial progress has yet been achieved on agreeing a backstop solution for Ireland/Northern Ireland”.

Re: Brexit discussion
I guess the reason we're not progressing much is because the EU don't want us to.
Maybe if they conceded a little here and there things would progress faster?
But that's not really in their agenda is it, they want the cake, plate and all the crumbs from underneath the table too

My personal opinion is the EU are doing all they can to keep their claws in the UK, that's probably a biased view though, as I didn't - and still don't - want any part of it

Re: Brexit discussion
Anyone Fancy a job?
Quote:
Head of Aviation EU Exit Negotiations
Leading on the overall negotiating position on aviation for the Government, your duties will include:
• establishing, leading and managing the core aviation negotiating team, and ensuring its close coordination with existing policy and legislation teams
• overseeing negotiations with the EU on the future of our aviation safety and airspace relationships
• contributing to the formulation and implementation of the UK’s future aviation strategy and development of related legislation and policies
Prior knowledge of airspace and the aviation sector is an advantage but not necessary.

Linky
Note part of the role is establishing a negotiating team. Only 9 months to go, no pressure then...

Ah, getting nervous that Parliament might have a say in the future of the country? Wrong sort of democracy isn't it?

Love the part where "knowledge of airspace and the aviation sector is an advantage but not necessary"  No need for an expert then ...

Well wording it like that gives them the safe option of putting a puppet in place doesn't it. Giving the job to an 'expert' may lead to things they don't necessarily want
Just my opinion of course, there's nothing underhand or corrupt about anything concerning politics

It's alright, our transport secretary will have things covered
Saw the salary range BTW; £62,519 - £70,859. Really going to attract the cream of the crop there...

Parliament should be carrying out the will of the electorate, given the result of the referendum. Parliament does not exist to actually thwart the will of the people!

Does rather depend on what the will of the people means. Logically we should include those who were too young to vote in the referendum. But I am sure that all the brexiteers would call foul.
