Sounds reasonable. ;)

The UK would be able to negotiate the best deals to its favour.

It is so easy to negotiate a free trade deal.

It is so quick.

POTUS would just bypass congress to help his ally. Just like Obama did with TPP ...


oh wait Obama got the TPP passed with bipartisan support after 10 congressional referendums, that took 3+ years ... oh no I will just ignore that fact and go with my feelings, because!

The flipside of your weak sarcasm:
oh woe is UK, trade deals are so difficult, best not to even try and continue handing over your sovereignty to a failing union

btw, on the topic of how quickly these things can get done, have you not seen anything with Trump vs China?!? Tariffs can get implemented or taken away on specific goods in an instant, enough of those and you have a de facto trade deal even without an official deal.
 
EU leaders 'have accepted UK is leaving without a deal'

Downing Street has said Boris Johnson wants to negotiate a new Brexit deal "with the greatest energy", amid reports EU leaders have accepted the UK is going to leave without an agreement.

Brussels is said to be operating on a "working hypothesis of no-deal" after accepting the prime minister "isn't bluffing" about crashing out of the bloc.

It comes after a meeting on Monday between European Commission officials and Brexit diplomats from the 27 other EU member states.
Number 10 insisted on Monday that Brussels must "change its stance" to secure an agreement.

The prime minister wants to hold talks about a fresh deal but the EU needs to "rethink" its "current refusal" to make any changes to the withdrawal agreement, Downing Street added.

The statement comes after reports emerged about a briefing to diplomats in Brussels.

It followed a meeting between Mr Johnson's top Europe adviser David Frost and senior EU figures last week.

Ah, what a breath of fresh air compared to the lifeless, heavily pro-EU TMay administration...

Hahahaa:

Great news. It seems the EU is now realizing their strong arming is gone. Needed someone with more balls from the start and this would have been done already.
 
I predict we will crash out with no deal, with general election to follow shortly after. Both Tories and Labour will do poorly, with Labour eventually forming a coalition government with the Lib Dems. Or maybe a coalition of smaller parties, such as the Green Party and Change UK.

The UK will be in recession for the next year after Brexit, maybe longer.

What strong arming are you talking about?

You saw the deal that May "negotiated" which is heavily in favor of the EU. I don't blames them, their biggest contributor is leaving.

Which part is heavily in favour of the EU? If anything it was too generous from them...the UK is a basket case with no leverage.

With all the economical changes 'n pretty sure negative growth will follow for a period. Even with a deal it's a given. But the turn-around and how long it takes will show the strength of the British people . I also predict a year of negative growth. But it should turn around and only strengthen from there on forwards with them being able to negotiate better and far more rewarding trade deals on their terms.

In what way was it heavily in favor of the EU?

With which countries? Eritrea and Zimbabwe? :ROFL: And with what leverage? Standing alone they have almost no negotiating power.
