Yep, I do understand that. But my statement is not suggesting that we remain in the SM and CU, but that we have a deal that aligns with it, that takes in some benefits but obviously makes some concessions. In return, we ask for concessions from them on FoM and ECJ. You seem very reluctant to admit that the EU would budge, bearing in mind that you have spent the last week trying to sell May’s deal to everyone on here based on the generous deal that the EU had offered us! Maybe they would offer us similarly generous terms on a deal that favoured them more than May’s deal?
Haven’t you noticed that Corbyn has had talks with the EU negotiating team. But you are (deliberately I think) reducing this position to us asking for “all the benefits of membership with none of the costs and obligations”. That is clearly not what I am saying – I’m asking that we negotiate for some of the benefits at the expense of some of the obligations. Absolutely this would not please the No Deal Brexiteers but we both know that no deal is possible that will do so. They’re going to take to the streets at anything barring a No deal.
No, I don’t like the deal on the table but I would accept it if it came to that v No Deal. But I think that it is still possible to negotiate better but the only chance of getting a deal through the commons is to go in the direction I’ve stated. Can you think of another deal that might get through? Please suggest it as no one here can seem to see it.
Of course, this is a long shot but at least it’s a possibility. Whether we do go down this route or agree (out of fatigue and boredom) that May’s deal + re-wording of a couple of sentences is the best that we can get, then I guess we have to then put that to the people with Exit on WTO v The Deal and let the public decide once and for all. Can you think of anything fairer and less damaging to the economy?
Sad that some people are still playing party politics in a situation like this.
Wan you should look at the inflation figures for when Labour was in power in the 70s, to no surprise of anyone but you their handling of the economy was worse than the Conservatives.

So, you say people should stop playing party politics with this, then state some claptrap about the labour party's handling of the economy in the 1970's....some boy you are....
Please keep up, or at least stop with the bull on threads where you're easily found out....

Erm, I'm talking about UK companies! They should be negotiating import prices in sterling just like French and German importers should be negotiating prices in euros. Hope that's not too difficult for you to understand but if it is I'll happily explain in more detail.
"The party has also been moving behind a further referendum as per the extensive debate and fudging at their conference"
Ah, you don't like democracy at work do you Kerr, just an autocratic party like your own, extensive debate is exactly that,it's a shame you and yourparty can't do the same, we'd be in a much better place right now, pathetic Kerr, pathetic.
We import from the EU and also use UK suppliers who manufacture in the EU & import to the UK. Both have lead times of at least 12 weeks.
When using the EU supplier, we enter a forward contract to lock in the exchange rate as soon as receiving the order from our customer. The UK supplier has started inserting a currency fluctuation clause in their terms & conditions to protect them. We cannot always get our customer to accept the same clause so we have the choice of declining the order or accepting the exposure.
