"Invest more energy in solving it ..." means nothing. It's rhetoric. Useless.
Leavers created this situation and should be capable of getting us out from it. They knew what they were voing for and hence had a solution. Hopefully, that solution was more constructive than just blaming the other side!

Remainers devising solutions won't cut the mustard. They will end up with similar smears as those attached to Theresa May's government.

I would suggest you bend Redwood's ear and remind him what he and his colleagues promised you at the time of the referendum. However, I understand that he is currently embroiled in a big NIMBY dispute with Wokingham Borough Council which says "We're outraged and disgusted at these government proposals which would see the amount of new housing more than double across the Wokingham Borough to 1,635 per year."

You're doing it again. Nothing to say other than equivalent of "I told you so".

I'll ask you again: In your view, should the UK give way on the EU's red lines?

Your diversion from the matter at hand in this thread is utterly pointless.

What ground should the UK give in negotiating with the EU?

Not really as he's the person to take up your buyer's remorse with. And that question on its own is impossible to answer. Leavers need to own a situation of their creation.

But pleading with a third country to try and prevent migrants coming to the UK whilst simultaneously trying to withdraw that country's fishing rights is not the brightest of ideas.

I've answered that it's impossible to answer. And it's not up to Remainers to bail you out as their solutions will not be seen as independent.

Err... What's changed? Deal or no deal it is our choice. We hold the cards to our future wherever that may lead us. We will be a Sovereign nation who decides its own future.

We will deal with others on those terms. Chose the path we want affirms that.

Andrew,

I confess not to remember you saying that my question was impossible to answer.

There's no way I'm asking you to 'bail me out'. That you should resort to such a crass remark is only worthy of another contributor whom I mustn't troll in this thread.

It really is a simple question: In your opinion, what ground should the UK give in negotiating with the EU?

It might appear that way at a cursory glnce. But it was appropriate in this context as it was citing evidence that the holding-all-the-cards metaphor had originally been ascribed to the UK. We're now hearing that the EU "doesn't hold all the cards".

Nothing in any of those quotes means anything. They were not promises or guarantees. They were opinion.

Furthermore they may yet be accurate, they may be wrong.,.........we’ll find out in due course.

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20

. . . and now we go over to our Current Affairs reporter from Cable Forum.

Well it's another day of madness here, the usual gangs have been busily sniping at each other from the cover of their keyboards, and exchanging sly winks and slaps on the back for any minor points scored.
There was a moment earlier in the session when a senior board member called for clarification on some of the language used, but all in all it's just been the same arguments on the same merry go round. The scores are still tied at 168 each, maybe tomorrow will see a breakthrough.

Back to the studio for the weather . .

I reiterate that that is an impossible question as no one outside the negotiating team has sufficient information to know what the UK's true red lines and objectives are.

My objectives, as you know are to put the economy first as a strong economy enables services like our armed forces and nursing homes to be properly funded and it's beneficial for people's health and in keeping crime rates low. This necessitates as close a deal with the EU as possible so we should elect for a deal like the EFTA countries have without the Schengen area. I'm happy to sacrifice notional elements of sovereignty to join NATO, to join the United Nations, to join EFTA and to join Five Eyes.
