Brexit talks

I think Barnier was merely repeating what Britain had told him they wanted, but you are right, a soft Brexit isn't Brexit at all. Once terms of negotiation are clear it will be clear that EU terms for a soft Brexit would be impossible.

You're right OC, he was repeating what our aims were, but he was also welcoming the fact that it confirmed that we were concurring with what they had already pointed out to us in sections 1 and 19 of the EU guidelines for the Brexit negotiations, that there could be no cherry-picking and Brexit meant leaving the Single Market and Customs Union.

Is a second Brexit referendum at all feasible?

Is a second Brexit referendum at all feasible?

Seeing as both Labour and the Tories said in their manifestos they accepted the result of the referendum, I'd say no.

We have messed about too much now for my liking. We are one year down the line since the vote was held and we have dithered about ever since then.
Nothing is to be gained from another referendum, just as nothing was gained by holding the recent election.
We need some firm negotiations and these need to be backed by all concerned, although there is not much hope of that.
I voted to remain, however, accepted that the Brexiteers won and I have waited to see just how we are going to progress. It's a good job that I haven't been holding my breath.
I wonder which division the Clarets will be in before the final break is made.

Surely we are in the PL to stay, but you could wonder about Rovers!

I was thinking more on the lines that we could be in a new European Super League!!

EU Commissioner identifies the cost of Brexit .... to the EU of €10Bn and expansion plans will double the funding gap.
Günther Oettinger said the bloc must either spend less or find new money to fill the gap, equivalent to an estimated 16% of the entire budget.
Among the options on the table could be less generous payments to farmers or a tax on financial transactions.

A dose of reality ... or is the last one a threat to London??

I wonder why he's pointing out now that they're going to be €10 billion per annum down, has it come as a surprise, didn't they know ? It isn't anything new, the fact that we could stop paying them all that money every year was one of big selling points for the Brexiteers in the referendum.

What planet have these people been living on for the last 12 months ?

The EU probably thinks it is a planet ??

Spot on Supersub, Some Big mistakes, Cameron thinking the vote would be to stay in the EU, Followed by Maybot wanting an election just for her sheer Vanity which cost us more than 7 weeks negotiations, Cameron dropped the first Clanger followed by out of her depth Maybot, Does anyone in office know what they are doing ? I very much doubt it.
