How does Turkey work at present time? we retain all the current FTAs and quotas without negotiating new ones for a while. When we are OK with life outside the single market, we'll look farther afield.

I am for retaining our membership of the customs union with the EU. We can cope with a reduced access to the single market.

don't shoot the messenger, the DUP is right to point out future problems. If the border is moved to the Irish sea, NI will be the area that wins big, then everyone will want the same, that advantage won't last. On the other hand, if there is a hard border between NI and the ROI, the block grant...

all the bikes that SW mentioned are fitted with torque sensor meaning you have to supply at least 25% of the energy required. It can be knackering, especially when climbing hills.

that's giving in to the bullies in her party.

I agree with d8veh. You don't have to worry about protecting your gears when you ride.

No. The UK has always seen the EU as a trading zone whereas the EU27 see the themselves as a political project, so brexit is understood by virtually everyone, inside and outside the UK. It will cost jobs to get out of the single market but it's stupid to leave the customs union as well because...

apparently, London now wants to stay in the Single Market too. My guess many other cities would like the same, leaving hard brexiters representing farmers, fishermen and Weatherspoon pubs.

Item 48 of a15-page joint statement between the European commission and the British government: “in the absence of agreed solutions the UK will ensure that there continues to be continued regulatory alignment”. that's politicians double speak for NI to stay in the EU's single market. Scotland...

it's likely that we won't have anti-dumping levy on Chinese e-bikes if we are no longer part of the customs union. E-bikes in the UK would be cheaper than in the EU27.

they do that, not me guv.

not yet. a deal with the ROI can still be reached next week.

the Survation poll this week revealed one interesting fact: Of the 1,003 people surveyed in the Survation poll , 497, or 50 per cent, said they would “support holding a referendum asking the public if they will accept or reject the deal”. A total of 343, or 34 per cent, said they were against...

Our government can take the position that we will worry about what suits England first, disregarding issues in NI, or obtain prior agreement with NI+ROI before starting to talk about FTA with the EU. the EU's position is perversely logical to avoid the kind of situations in Wallonia* with CETA...

how will the government do that? the only deal on offer if the UK insists on no ECJ, no customs union is CETA+, the EU may throw a bone or two in the direction of our banks but that's it, take it or leave it. We have to wait for Mr Fox to admit defeat before another U turn on customs union, the...

I don't think there is any in this case. The laptop has been given away years ago.

if looking at nude pictures is wrong then most of us men would all be criminals. Also, it's his laptop, not government's property.

even so, I am still a sucker to German made home appliances.

may have to wait until after the transition period. At the moment, hard brexiters still try to hang on to the promise of a good FTA with Donald Trump. May have to wait for that to be proven not as good as the FTA with the EU. Then the comparison will be between an FTA CETA style and membership...

the elite is conspiring against hard brexit. when there is only one solution left, even the Express will have to take it.
