Many of us suspect that the EU mandate will change as June gets nearer (I've no link for that) and some semblance of common sense might prevail.

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
I found it very ironic that Barnier was saying the UK should respect the EU's independence in negotiations. Yet we are not the ones asking to follow our laws and rights.
We are not asking them to accept duristiction of our courts like they are.
Funnily enough it seems the EU want their cake and eat it.

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
Been on TV this morning that there are calls for arrangements to leave fully to be suspended due to the Coronavirus.
The banks are already dipping into their 'no deal' fund to help businesses through this.
Leavers accused remainers of using it as an excuse to carry on with the situation we have now.
Remainers argue that leaving with no deal on top of the effects of the Coronavirus will be catastrophic for the economy, especially since various organisations have/are to dip into their funds built up to mitigate the effects of leaving without a deal in place.

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
Coronavirus is a far more important priority for the UK currently then any tribal political willy waving in my view.

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
It seems to me that if ever there was equivalence between the EU and the UK, Coronavirus is it. As said, the Remainers will mostly seize on any basis to keep us tied to the EU when it really isn't necessary.

In the spirit of clinging on, considering the fun we're having with an emerging disease, would you think that leaving the Early Warning and Response System (EWRS) is a good idea
Quote:
The Early Warning and Response System (EWRS) is a web-based platform linking the European Commission, ECDC and public health authorities in EU/EEA countries responsible for measures to control serious cross-border threats to health, including communicable diseases.

The Department of Health wanted to stay but but Number 10 said no apparently

I have no doubt that the Guvmin can read the early warnings they get from the EU countries' newspapers. The key word in your extract was "control". I appreciate that diseases have to be controlled, but I don't want the EU controlling our borders under some sort of Health & Safety scam (as per WTD) that makes us do something we don't want.

There's a bit more to EWRS than what's in the papers!
If the health of our citizens is a price worth paying to control our borders and let companies dictate what hours we work then so be it, we know where Number 10 stands

The Treasury has confirmed that it will not be getting an extra £350 million a week after Britain stops paying into the EU budget, despite false claims by Brexiteers during the referendum.
Britain is in fact expected to be overall poorer by £1,200 per person because of Brexit's economic drag, according to the spending watchdog

Now there's a surprise (not).

The figures come from the Office for Budget Responsibility, and the Chancellor's 'Big Red Book'. Which ones do you dispute? Was the £350 million a week on the side of a bus more reliable and costed? Do tell.

In whose thesaurus is the word “comparing” synonymous with “dispute”?
