I agree with you. Even with an agreement, it is an agreement about how the process will go and, at the outside, a very temporary, short-term extension of membership. March-May 2019: Brexit day In theory, the UK could be out of the EU on 29 March 2019. Extending talks can only be done by...

The passage of time will often reveal things that need changing, updating, improving. That much is life. Going into brexit already threatening (or promising?) to change the agreement on which it was based is seems to be very different and very much less acceptable.

Whatever brexit is now or on 29/03/2019, it might well mean something else, indeterminate and unknown, in the future. OK sounds wonderful. Let's all vote for the never-ending turmoil and changes... Chequers deal could be undone after Britain leaves EU, claims Gove Environment secretary...

And only 3:1 (approx.) in Wales.

Yes, from THAT paper again: Give Britain a new referendum on Brexit, says Sadiq Khan Mayor of London’s call for people’s vote adds to pressure on Jeremy Corbyn Toby Helm Sat 15 Sep 2018 20.29 BST Last modified on Sat 15 Sep 2018 22.00 BST Sadiq Khan, left, with the Labour...

NZ has ever after felt shabbily treated - and understandably so. That event will never be forgotten in the relationship between UK and NZ.

Let us imagine, with due horror, that there is a CREEP (apt in this case). As we approach the presidential election, DT's horrible hands would be reaching out to his mobile to send such tweets with an uncontrollable action reminiscent of Dr Strangleove's arm. It is a truly appalling idea.

Let us hope that TM (or any PM of the day) somehow doesn't get to hear of this USA proposal: In future disasters, US citizens may receive messages on their phones directly from Donald Trump, as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) begins its testing of a system that allows the...

But what legal basis exists for action once the subject has died?

Just listening, admittedly rather half-awake, to a program about partition of India. Could be salutary to be reminded of the effects of that secession both at the time and thereafter. Of course, that partition was different in so many ways. Nonetheless, we should be so extremely careful to...

BBC now reporting: Electoral Commission got Brexit law wrong over Vote Leave, court rules

Saint Pierre and Miquelon are even closer to Canada... :-) (Relevance, about zero.)

Raab has just been on news refusing to give any idea whatsoever how much less than 37 billion will be paid if we don't get a deal. Absolute categoric refusal. I'd suggest it would be very little less when all is added up.

Just why would the DoT have tried, however ineptly, to make a side deal to avoid the issue? They wouldn't have done so unless there was at least some concern within the DoT.

They have already got the necessary agreements. Once upon a time countries did not have such agreements. We are going in the direction of not having such agreements. Does the report really say anything different in the Daily Mail...

Have been sort-of wondering if something like this might happen: France may stop trains and planes from UK under no-deal Brexit Senior politician says France is prepared to pass emergency laws to protect citizens Eurostar trains may stop running in the event of a chaotic no-deal Brexit...

Are you unable to read for yourself? And make your mind up as to whether it is "good" news - or not? I'm going to guess there is a strong possibility that your and my assessments could be very different so there is little to no point in my answering your initial question.

I cannot think of a single export or import that is not going to be negatively affected, at least in a full leave situation. For a start, every single good will have to be classified under WTO rules (probably as well as EU rules). Whether, in the fullness of time, some imports and/or exports...

Sage - of accounts software fame - have released a statement about brexit possibilities: https://www.sage.com/en-gb/blog/what-do-the-brexit-technical-notices-mean-for-small-businesses/

Already discussed in this thread, and elsewhere, now released: Driving licences may be invalid in EU if no Brexit deal, UK warns People with passports close to expiry may also be denied entry, government papers say
