Re: Brexit
There will be a weasel worded fudge over the Irish border question.
As for the 95% - what's in it? Will we be disappointed? What would be in the 100%?

And what if it's 104% agreed, what would that mean ?

It doesn't matter what the wording is because there will be evidence or lack thereof in Ireland. The fact it actually needs a decision is why it's one of the bigger problems.

Well, he's right in a way, because nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. We are already re-visiting the backstop, which was given the nod months ago!
Still, we are nearly there now, and a solution that both sides can accept on the NI border will be agreed. In the end!
On your first point (the 104%), did you attend the Diane Abbott School of Arithmetic, perchance? Just askin'...

Re: Brexit
As predicted by Project Fear:
Russia blocks UK's post-Brexit tariff proposal at WTO
Quote:
The UK’s proposal to split its import quotas from those of the EU after Brexit has drawn an official objection from Russia at the World Trade Organization, MLex has learned.
An objection from a single trading partner means that the WTO can’t certify the proposal until the problem is resolved. It might also force the UK to undergo the full procedure for changing its rates, rather than the simplified “rectification” procedure it has so far pursued.
The single objection from Russia is enough for the WTO not to certify the schedules until all doubts are resolved. It’s also possible that more countries have sent similar notices to the UK mission —19 countries have raised concerns informally about the schedules. The exact number of formal notices is unknown, because the procedure isn't open to the public.
And if the UK fails to reach an agreement before it leaves the EU, it will have to operate on “uncertified schedules”, opening it up to more trade disputes.

I suspect then the remainers will be saying we will never get a trade deal and all the nonsense will start again. And again, they will be wrong.
Time to start being positive. 95% there with the withdrawal agreement, just one small leap....

Bruce Springsteen will be playing live in my home soon, 95% of the arrangements made, just need him to agree and we will be there.

Except that with the withdrawal agreement, there is no longer a difference with the negotiators on that 95%.
Whereas with the Bruce thing, he doesn't know about your plans at all!

Re: Brexit
This is interesting:
Westminster Lens: Brexit Statutory Instruments Dashboard
Quote:
How many Brexit Statutory Instruments does the government plan to lay before Parliament?
Government ministers have regularly said that they expect to lay between 800 and 1,000 Statutory Instruments (SIs) to prepare the statute book for exit day. In recent statements ministers have indicated that the final figure will probably be closer to 800 than 1,000.
How many Brexit SIs has the government laid before Parliament so far?
80 Brexit-related SIs have been laid since the EU (Withdrawal) Act received Royal Assent on 26 June 2018. Of these:
57 have been laid using powers in the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 only;
12 have been laid using powers in other Acts of Parliament;
11 have been laid using a combination of powers in the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and in other Acts of Parliament.

I am not sure what happens if this is not completed before March?

Agreed - I don’t have a fear of falling; I have a fear of what happens at the fall’s end...

Quote:
The European Parliament’s Brexit coordinator has rejected Theresa May’s suggestion that a deal is “95 per cent done”, as Brussels warned it will not be bounced into an agreement.
Guy Verhofstadt said the withdrawal agreement needed to prevent no deal was “0 per cent done” as far as MEPs were concerned, because of the lack of a solution to the Irish border issue.
“Progress on the Brexit negotiations can be 90 per cent, 95 per cent or even 99 per cent,” Mr Verhofstadt said.
“But as long as there is no solution for the Irish border, as long as the Good Friday agreement is not fully secured, for us in our parliament progress is 0 per cent.”
The European Parliament has a veto on the final Brexit deal and has said it would kill any agreement that does not prevent a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
