On Brexit, I may have mentioned this before, but I await legal text (and an actual agreement) to make a proper judgement. It seems that the backstop may have been time limited only in the sense a majority in Northern Ireland would have to vote to end it (unlikely)
The detail of the customs arrangements, how N-Ireland to EU trade works, any accompanying UK-EU FTA, further conditions like level playing field, ultimate arbiter of arrangements, and length of transition period are all areas to watch when we see details.
Once we have the details will also be interesting to see whether there's a revived no-deal / clean break campaign. Because this deal sounds messy, as was always likely to be the case. Or whether a this deal but only with referendum feeling takes root.
Finally don't underestimate the problem there may still be with VAT, but also don't try to understand the hideous complexities and leave that to the likes of @ChrisGiles_ @jeremydcape and @William_Bain. Essentially though, adds to questions about UK single market. /end for now
@ChrisGiles_ @jeremydcape @William_Bain PS anyone missing my dulcet (ok, northern England flat) tones on radio or even TV news, I suspect "wait for detail" is possibly too boring even for the Brexit pundit merry-go-round.
Plus I didn't write any Brexit songs like some others...
