1. We are still in the EU nearly 3 years after the Referendum. We accepted the Art 50 route. We then accepted another 18 months of implementation period.
2. We accepted ECJ jurisdiction over the agreement including over how much we pay and EU citizens rights.
3. We accepted £39bn as a price to get to trade talks.
4. We found we had to accept the Number 10 negotiating team negotiating in secrecy.
5. UK Fish were to be treated as outside of the single customs territory for trade purposes as a prelude to fishing rights for trade deal.
6. This was always a bad deal. We compromised and compromised but we were not prepared to accept the threat to our constitution and democracy resulting from the Northen Irish backstop and the acceptance of EU laws over which we would have no say.
