UK has capitulated on pretty much every point.

If someone can find an item where they got what they wanted?

Nothing IS agreed until everything is - document 'agreed by UK on condition of an overall agreement under Article 50 on UK's withdrawal, taking into account framework for the future relationship, including an agreement as early as possible in 2018 on transitional arrangements'
.

We don't want freedom of movement. Get that in your head.

You obviously also didn't read the 2017 GE manifesto of the Conservatives who said we are leaving the SM and the CU.

We?

Are you British now?

I don’t read toilet paper no, what the conservatives said and modified and changed and contradicted 827 times in the last months is more a source of laughter than a source of enlightenment for me.

One post down:

May would agree for a joint report to be published in the name of her negotiators while not agreeing with the content?

Makes perfect sense, like all Brexit things.

BREAKKING Michael Gove does not rule out a return to WTO rules if trade talks fail, saying: “We are prepared for every eventuality.

Although having said all this, it's a huge problem that the PM is a Remoaner, as is her Chancellor (Hammond) and many at the top of the UK civil service. I still wouldn't rule out a sell-out by May, since she's clueless. But then the Tories will be out of power for a long time if they sell out on Brexit, so...

Also very suspcious that the EU are praising this so heavily.

PS: by serious, I meant other than negotiating a carpet or a souvenir in a flea market.

Got it, multi-million dollar contracts involving multiple international companies working together don't count as serious negotiations, only bullshyte government oxygen thieves are serious negotiators.

Is anyone in the UK government truly for brexit? Pretty much everyone who campaigned for it were just jumping on the bandwagon anyway, Boris certainly was, he couldn't care less about brexit.

Where did I say that?

Anyway, I’ve seen and partly drafted joint reports on negotiations to lenders (particularly when DFIs), to regulators on negotiations between private companies.

And in G2G negotiations it is perfectly normal.

He’s an Australian living in SA who happens to have a Brit passport.

But as he lives in SA he should shut up with the “we”, it’s currently nothing to do with him.

Ah, the fantasies of Remoaners destroyed. The doom and gloom level will increase exponentially especially in The Guardian, Financial Times and the Economist...

Brexiters don't seem very happy either, particularly Arron Banks.

Just count how many times you can see "traitor", "capitulation", "bring this government down"...

David Davis was right all along. UK will not pay 40 billion, they got an exceptional discount at 39.99 billion.

Asked if the deal meant that the default position is remaining in the single market, Barnier said:

“No. You havent understood that well… beyond its decision to leave the EU… the British government has confirmed that it wishes also to leave the single market and the customs union which is not obligatory. There are countries who are not E.U. members, who are part because that is their wish, whilst respecting of the rules of the single market. But that’s not the choice taken by the UK. So you have not understood that well.”


Leave Means Leave are raising concerns though...

If we had a true Brexiteer government we wouldn't pay anything. But we have the useless May who loves the EU, trying to negotiate something she does not believe so of course she is going to capitulate.

Yeah, that must be it. :crylaugh:

Apart from the fact that not paying something you committed to (including pensions of your civil servants) is being a bit of a crook...
