What to me will be fascinating is what happens next. Certainly, in any disputes with the EU on the level playing front, any action the EU takes will have a far bigger impact on the UK than the other way round. Equally sovereign should not be confused with equally powerful.

Still nay-saying, I see. I explained about the light-bulb moment when I introduced the Sunday Times article. Had that not occurred, there would have been no deal.

Something to improve upon?

Brexit outrage as New Zealand farmers will have to go through LESS red tape to sell lamb
BRITISH farmers will have to go through more red tape to sell lamb to European markets than New Zealand ones, it has emerged.
...
As usual, though, the devil is in the detail and in the full text of the trade deal published on Saturday morning, it has emerged that New Zealand farmers will have to go through less red tape than Britain, as there is no "equivalence" agreement.
BBC Economics editor Faisal Islam wrote on Twitter: "The food industry, already smarting from events, says the lack of equivalence for Great Britain's agri-food / Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) is problematic.
"As it stands they say 'New Zealand has a closer relationship on SPS with the EU than Britain from January 1' with an agreement that limits checks (1 percent) and simplifies paperwork."
Sharing his frustration, a Twitter user wrote: "British farmers now have more red tape to sell lamb to the EU than New Zealand farmers do.
"We’ve put up a border within the UK. We’ve made ourselves poorer and weaker.

If you read Article 4 (Import and placing on the market) in conjunction with Appendices A, B, C & D (page 511) you'll see the equivalences and these include organic live animals and unprocessed animal products.
Am I right?

Not my research, but that of the food sector. Faisal has tweeted this and no one has contradicted him:

This apparently is the extra red tape. https://www.brexit.gouv.fr/files/liv...a%20France.pdf

Agreed.
It's frustrating that Faisal Islam's tweet is a bit vague on the source:

It's ok it's been covered up
In an official statement, the fire brigade confirmed there had been no fire today.
Instead, they revealed it had been smoke caused by a generator.

Hardly. Those idiot Lib Dem MPs are set to vote against the deal. Plus, of course, those lunatic Scottish Nats.

Nobody is obliged to back it. The Government have enough votes. It’s a Tory deal, negotiated by Tories for Tories. Hopefully it resolves the schism in their party and they can get on with sorting out the rest of the problems we face.
