It’s all very exciting.

That's not stopped anyone before. Of course it's a development. Barnier has spoken for starters.

The thread went quite for a few hours during the day, it's not unusual. Stuff didn't pick up until late afternoon when the rumours of a deal came out.

More likely peops on this thread have Brexit fatigue unless sufficiently provoked.

That summarises this thread well.

Back stop to be 'rebranded' and the DUP bought off with a few billion. Sounds like a masterplan !

As for something constructive, how about the public having a final say over any closed door deal he does come up with ? Be nice to know what we're actually voting for, for a change.

We've already voted to leave, man. It's up to the politicians to implement it.

In a sensible manner that doesn't adversely affect the country's population and economy.

No one voted to be worse off.

An online poll on Facebook by a paper for my area was posted yesterday with 42k votes has remain at 67% and leave at 33%. Seems interesting.

First question to ask what area is it in and then the next question is what questions did they ask in the poll and how were those questions phrased.

We didn't fight two world wars to not be better off!

If the xeonophobic Vote Leave campaign can invoke "we" then so can I, despite never holding a rifle.

What we voted for was to leave. Richer or poorer did not come into it.

Having said that, I am as certain as can be that prosperity lies in the route we have taken, to grasp more opportunities from around the world.

And once again, trade with the EU will not cease just because we are not part of that organisation. That seems to be the worry amongst many remainers - that EU imports and exports will dry up after Brexit. They won't, of course, we are likely to be pretty much the same as now. More trade with the rest of the world will benefit us, and this is the missing link in those damning forecasts of our future financial wellbeing.

Laughable optimism in the face of all the facts from Old Boy. A regurgitation of previous points so I won't address any specifically.
