The Guardian should welcome the clarification instead of making accusation. TM's government is stating the obvious, if we are going to stay close to the EU after brexit and allow our citizens to retire to Southern Europe then it makes sense to meet the EU half way.

I think it's inevitable in the short term that we need to find a route to reduce friction with the EU. EFTA is the only one.

why would you lose Ryanair if ROI joins EFTA? You have Swissair, Scandinavian Airlines, Icelandic Airlines etc. They are allowed to run in the EU.

As time goes by, it seems that the only way that the UK can negotiate its own deals is that it joins with EFTA, even just for the transitional period. As time goes by, people will soon work out that deals with sharks like Mr Trump's administration won't be easy and will keep us inside EFTA after...

you would probably have better job security if we join EFTA than remaining in the EU. Just compare pay between members of EFTA and members of EU. Higher wages stimulate investment, improve productivity.

the range depends very much on the bike, the terrain and the users. I have plenty of feedback from customers who bought the Karoo to compare to those who bought a Big Bear. At first, I was so surprised when oniontrololol reported 80 miles on 13AH that I asked a few customers how many miles they...

that is precisely why I support a soft brexit. Our economy will be less subjected to market forces where the big multinationals can use 'distributed chain of supplies' to divide the workforce and technologies, and make lots of profit where they get a special tax deal to the detriment of the...

whoosh XF08C (rear, cassette fitting) or XF08 front costs £499 with 13AH battery, £599 with 17AH battery. With a good donor bike, you can get about 60 miles out of a 13AH, 100 miles out of a 17AH battery.

let's say you want to use the swimming pool but the club won't give you a reduced annual membership fee or let you have a partial membership. You may go along with full membership until the day that you find that full membership is too cumbersome and/or expensive. You ask members of your family...

There are fringes on both sides that come out with a lot of excessive claims. Whenever you do a deal, some court must be elected to arbitrate. After brexit, the number of international courts is going to multiply because we would be dealing direct with more countries.

they backtracked before the last GE, it was not in their manifesto.

no you don't. Currency exchange fluctuations affect trade volume only slowly. A lower value of the GBP will reduce consumption of imported goods and encourage exports as measured by a basket of reserved currencies, but not immediately because of constraints on production capacity. Over time, the...

all the German crank drive motors are protected.

I thought they dropped that daft idea in their manifesto.

I thought she said we'll leave the ECtHR, not ECHR.

remainers are wrong to keep banging on about economic damage if we leave the EU. They should know by now that the economy is guided by practical considerations and gravity. It is stupid to assume that we'll lose 20%-30% of EU trade or world trade. The loss in trade will be single digit, and if...

Of course we will. there will always be international courts. Why do you assume the UK will isolate itself after brexit?

yours is an unlikely scenario. We are leaving because JC does not want to stay in the EU anymore than TM. Is he an idiot? self serving perhaps but not an idiot. Citizens of the remaining EFTA countries have been asked again and again 'do you want to join the EU?'. Again and again, the people...

hub motors seem to benefit greatly from better air flow around the motor.

I had to look up what MAGA means. it is 'Make America great again'. it seems so to me too. Congrats to the BBC for educating the masses. If the transitional period is long enough, the UK will be the first and last to leave the EU.
