Meanwhile in New Zealand...

"We used to trade fine on WTO terms, but we wouldn't recommend it now"
They make a very good point. The more trade deals the EU do, the harder it is to trade with them on WTO terms alone.
The EU have ambitious trade plans to complete deals covering Asia.
With Australia and New Zealand being negotiated, they are running out of countries to do deals with.
The line "other countries trade with the EU on WTO terms" isn't a good long term strategy.

Rather than just RT, I thought I’d give a quick intro to my good friend @nickynoo007’s thread by pointing out that in 1964 the Action committee of the USoE proclaimed that the European Community was open to all democratic countries of Europe “particularly Great Britain”.
But even with the Action Committee talking about us with such reverence, there were still the memberstates to worry about. There were concerns about our commitment, and it doesn’t take much to work out that for Re-joiners this is a problem for the future.
Winning that trust back is not going to be easy or quick, and it’s going to involve many different people embracing and honouring their European values in many different ways.

Here is my rebuttal to the claim by @DavidGHFrost that the Level Playing Field requirements the EU are asking for are "unprecedented" which I wrote 5 hours and 26 minutes before he made the statement, but let's go even further.
If we're talking unprecedented, the Ukraine deal has a much stronger type of dynamic alignment. The alignment that we find in the EU proposal to the UK is kind of the second phase as far as the DCFTA goes.
Certain regulation goes through a council as proposed to the UK, but also certain regulation gets automatically updated.

@DavidGHFrost You're saying this is unprecedented? Alignment of environment and workers rights using a Council a Commitment and an alignment procedure?
@DavidGHFrost Here is how the Ukraine does it in their Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement.
