    from the FT: https://www.ft.com/content/6b7ec9ba-591c-11e8-b8b2-d6ceb45fa9d0 "To most voters, the EU is like a bread-maker: we don’t really understand what it does and we don’t know what to think about it. The Norway option clarifies matters in a way that does not help Leavers. It is very...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    my kits are not like bmsbattery's. I know where the battery, the LCD and the motor go, I order the parts and their cables made to the correct lengths. BMSBATTERY buy their stuff for all combinations and just chuck them into the box, that's why they come with too long cables. This is my...

    it's only a backstop position to solve the NI border issue. We should get a deal sorted by December 2020 and I reckon it will be a soft brexit. If not, EURef2 would be called for.

    from the BBC: Ministers signed off on the "backstop" that would see the UK match EU tariffs after 2020, if there is no deal on their preferred customs arrangements. So we'd get to keep the duty. That's good, isn't it?

    I haven't tried. I drop the name Vince Cable in the post because he's the only one campaigning to cancel brexit whereas I am happy with us leaving but staying close to the EU27. JC and TM have practically identical negotiating stance on brexit.

    she will assume that after the transition finishes, we'll have to fill in customs forms like we do for customers in Norway. That will affect our ability to continue selling to and support our customers in the EU27.
