Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

I only periodically look at this beyond the headlines but wondering if anyone has a link to an online resource that does a simple comparison of the PM's approved exit deal to the proposed (& failed) deals of the previous PM please?

I'm curious how things like the border controls etc have finally been resolved, thanks

I think a Canada type deal is what’s to be sought, and it is suggested that Johnson has accepted that such a deal will not be frictionless and so some form of border control will be required in that respect.
 
Don’t worry folks - Steve Baker great interview this morning - all will be great once we have trade deals with US, Japan, Australia and New Zealand as well as the EU in place. But what I wonder am I going to be buying from these distant places that I cannot buy today i just do not know. No matter - he tells me these places may seem a long way away (and they are) but - you know - with cheap air flight and the Internet and all that they are not really that remote.

Oh - well that’s fine then. But hey ho. And he still wasn‘t really able to tell me how I would notice an improvement in my day2day life - and if he can’t then who can? Maybe I’ll get it one day. But I am not holding my breath in anticipation. Happy Brexit Day indeed ?

[edit] Btw - yes I know there will be differences at government and business level and there may well be advantages in that respect...but at street level?

I'd be interested to hear how you think your day to day life is going to be noticeably worse after Brexit.

I wasn't asking about Baker and wasn't interested in his response. I was asking why you think your day to day life will be worse after Brexit.

You might well ask that and it is a valid question - but that is not the question that Baker was asked and I posted about Baker's interview, and the question he was asked - what improvements and when? And even if nothing in my day2day gets worse - things are supposed to get better...

BTW - and as you ask but I will not go into it - both my son and by B-i-L have already been significantly impacted in their work by the decision to leave the EU. They are the sort of folks who might reasonably ask - improvements/benefits - what and when? Baker did not answer that question.

Just like your not answering the question then and are being very politician like in using lots of words but avoiding the actual question ..

You've mentioned your BiL in past but never given accurate account of the impact. You also mentioned your son inability to do his work, yet today alone you've posted in the gladden the heart thread he has been awarded months of contracts that could see him through beyond May. So its not currently impacting him is it, plus you mentioned many times before he couldn't get work and blamed the government for it not brexit, but now brexit day is upon us its brexits fault even though he now has work.. You really need to work out what your saying and stick to it instead of contradicting yourself but continue to question others...

Oh and perhaps asnwer the question you were asked how will it directly affect you, not them but you.
