And inside the EU, UK businesses are free to seize global opportunities and become the ideas factory of the world too.

Have you not learnt your lesson?
You've already concluded one agreement where you've legislated in such a way as you can break international law. This is all just nationalistic bullshit.

We're protectionist on Labour, on Fish, you were jumping up and down about getting more GIs the other day.

You are putting barriers up to our largest and nearest market.

"We need the support and trust of the British people. "

Have you seen the propaganda your own site is pushing out????

Please stop saying "values-driven approach". You make our country sound self absolved, pompous, and inward looking.

They haven't learnt a thing. Not one thing. Pure pontification and seriously lacking substance.

It's disturbing.

1. Fish is one of the sticking points of a new deal, so let’s talk about why this is going to be a difficult thing for the UK to negotiate. (Thread)
2. Fishing limits are a protectionist trade off between In-shore fishing deep sea fishing. The bigger the exclusion zone countries set for in-shore fishing, the more deep sea fishing is impacted.
3. Although, when it comes to wildlife, conservation is actually important, and this was the argument Iceland made when they wanted to increase the 3 mile limit set by the North Sea Fisheries Convention of 1882.

There is just some lies in here. The EU *is* offering a Canadian style free trade agreement,
They are offering the right to regulate, it's in the proposal. It does *not* control our legislative freedom, what it does it set a standard that we both agree on.
The UK continues to say that their standards are better, and that they won't lower theirs beyond that of the EU.

1. Let’s talk Bananas, and explore a different part of the puzzle covered by Alexander’s article. (Thread)
2. The truth is, a lot of food is lost between the farm and the retailer for different reasons, and the notorious banana rules are specifically to do with correct storage and aesthetics. Image
3. I believe some of the banana legislation derives from rules set in 1969 by the Comité interprofessionnel de la banane française, but the origin of the regulations we actually use is a bit more complicated than that. Image

Judging by the number of newspapers that have started editorialising for EU membership in Norway this year, added to the fact the Liberals have come out of it and the Green's aren't against, we could see another referendum this decade.
Furthermore, Hulda Holtvedt, the influential national spokesperson for the Greens Party’s youth organization has also said "We must be willing to give up a bit of sovereignty in order to achieve committed climate policies. For Norway, that means joining the EU.”
Last year the youth wing of the Conservative Party passed a motion (or whatever the equivalent is) suggesting the party actively work towards EU membership in the next parliamentary term.

1. I think some people are about to find out that we didn’t join the Common Market for the trade. (Thread) Image
2. The truth is, as the curtain on the British Empire began to fall, the UK were not quite ready to step down from the main stage of world affairs.
3. The neutrality of some of the EFTA and Commonwealth countries meant that neither could provide a solution to our loss of influence, and it was felt that the economic draw of superpowers could further undermine it. Image

When they said we would have a "British Model" where we decided "what bits we keep, which parts we lose", and it would be "tailored to our own needs", they forgot to mention it would be tailored entirely to the ideological needs of politicians and sod our businesses.
Apparently the important thing about trade deals is that you negotiate them in terms of political purity and what the general public want.
Apparently if Northern Ireland's businesses are going to be negatively affected, what's most important is superficially what the English people want.
