The deal as I understand it, is typical Teresa May stuff, keep everything simmering but not actually face the issue.
As I said, it does a job. It's not perfect but it will do.
Ireland has a stay of execution but, still remains the elephant in the room, we have a temporary customs union which we may or may not be able to extract ourselves from and we remain governed by EU law, whilst sacrificing our ability to affect it (our veto will no longer apply).
Any temporary measure is fine by me...it's temporary. I'm confident we can survive a little transition period. Ultimately we won't be governed by EU law, although we will probably need to align with EU regulations for a favourable trade arrangement...which, shockingly, is precisely what we do now.
Do you think this is acceptable, because, it appears worse than we currently have.
Of course the deal is (economically) worse than we currently have. It was always going to be and I've always been honest about that. Where we differ is that in my opinion it's worth it...certainly in the long haul. The only question is the degree of impact.
As for lobbying Labour HQ, I believe they are only bothered about thie own political future and couldnt give a tinkers toss about whether we are in or out.
The have NEVER properly comitted to leave or remain and merely hoped thet the Tories would implode (still possible).
Yep, Labour clearly don't give a toss whether we get a deal or not - as long as they get a shot at a General Election, which I doubt they would win. They're willing to throw us on the bonfire for the chance of a GE. The odd thing about this strategy is I'm not entirely sure Corbyn is comfortable with it. I voted Labour once, never again.
Immigration from the EU has understandably slowed and yet "controlled" immigration from elsewhere is already rising - maybe there was an agenda on this all along, there certainly was from certain sectors of the country.
There will always be large numbers seeking to move to the UK. Yes, more needs to be done to bring the non-EU numbers down but controlling EU migration is a start. Ultimately immigration rules will need to drastically harden sooner rather than later. Net migration cannot continue at the levels we've seen since 1998.
The whole concept of LEAVE was built on a sham, driven primarily by some very wealthy right wing "Tories" who, have safely protected their wealth off shore and yet it iw they who want us to leave the EU and the masses are too dumb to realise that they were being sold a pup.
Oh please, we see lies and exaggerations in every political campaign. You give to much credence to the rhetoric of both sides, and not enough to the depth of feeling in many communities that has been building for 15-20 years.
