It's a solution to the problem that the UK haven't implemented the part of the agreement that they said would be implemented by now, and it gives them more time to do what they said they would do.
Again we are treated to a festival of politicians claiming that the secret solution to the Irish border, that they had kept up their sleeve all along, was too late to negotiate.
Surely the people who said Brexit was worth eating grass for should be the first people anyone calls for dietary advice in the face of not being able to get certain food types.
Dear Mr @SimonMcCoyTV, I noticed the other day that you claimed “What we joined was a trading bloc”, and this is a damaging line to take for the country. Please let me explain. 🧵
Firstly, while it began in the economic field, the EEC was not introduced as anything other than a political project, and its political development can be seen developing shortly after its inception.
23rd November, 1959 the first move to a political institution is made with regular meetings of foreign ministers.
How humiliating that the EU insisted that the UK follow the law that was passed when the UK were members and was the law when the UK decided to leave, and for which the UK should have been aware that it was a quite a long shot the EU was going to weaken its security dependencies.
What a terrible 'come down' that in choosing to be a 3rd country, the EU should treat the UK as a 3rd country.
Tom Harris has deleted his tweets from the referendum so you can't see his side, but here I am in 2016 explaining we know the laws, we know the treaties they do.
I have no patience for people saying that we expected to be treated as a special case when it comes to security.
What's the point of trying to convince a side that has farmers who are being damaged but would still vote to leave knowing it could put them out business and knowing they will be putting other people out of business.
Does everyone remember when politicians said we can't have a referendum on the deal because people had voted for Brexit and it would be asking the public again?
Does everyone remember when they said that the problem with the deal had nothing to do with Brexit?
Does anyone remember them being pulled over the fact they have now argued that the deal *was* Brexit and *isn't* Brexit?
The thing about "Taking back control of your laws" is that you can make decisions about your laws, not other people's laws. Especially not the laws you said you wanted no say over.
People who knew nothing about global trade refuse to accept the the most common method globally, attributes it to "EU thinking" and says they don't accept the position.
Gee, I hope we haven't listened to a whole load of people who didn't have a clue.
