It's about MX2 (a second meaningful extension).

There is definitely a potential musical to be made out of Brexit. Bit like Les Miserables, but more depressing...

I’ve clearly said for a number of posts now a customs union (not to be confused with the customs union) covering goods and separate trade deals with the world covering services. I’ve lost track whether you believe it is possible or not but I can assure the forum your belief in it or otherwise is irrelevant, it is possible.
In around half of your posts you seem to grasp this. However in the other half it’s gone.

I am dying to hear what these four contradictory statements are!
It is true that some time back, I said if we could get a customs arrangement that also allowed us to negotiate trade deals for goods and services on our own, that would be a good thing. However, everything I have read on this subject says it can't be done.
If we could get a customs arrangement as well as the freedom to forge trade deals on goods and services, that would indeed be the best of both worlds, and I would be happy with that. But outside of cloud cuckoo land, I'm afraid that's not possible.

I'm (seriously) expecting that in years to come a film or drama will be made about the extraordinarily events surrounding Brexit. I suspect it will be one of those where they will use facts that are available and accounts about what went on in secret by reliable witnesses who would remain anonymous.
It's clear that May's political career (of any substance) is coming to an end. If she doesn't remain as a backbencher, I expect that she will write a book about, or including, her account of Brexit too.

What contradictory posts are you two on about? I'm sure I've explained my position coherently, so either you are misinterpreting what I've said or you are mis-remembering.
For the record, a customs union is completely unacceptable to me unless we have the capacity to make our own deals on goods and services, and my understanding is that this is not possible. If you can show me I'm wrong on that, I will gladly accept it.
I am happy to leave with TM's deal if we can get out of the backstop, and I'm happy also to accept a no-deal.
That is my position and if you can point to where I've said anything to the contrary, I would be truly amazed.
Just getting the popcorn now...

Do you mean of the type that leaves us free to negotiate deals on services? Or the type where you can’t? Or neither?

The BBC have already transmitted a drama about Brexit Richard.
