Not just Norway!

@SILH There is no need to 'adopt EU laws' merely to trade with it! It does, however, make a lot of sense to either adopt (or exceed) EU standards in order to do so! I believe access to The Single Market requires EU Standards.

Totally different tack.
Just can't believe the trio tasked with getting a good deal. Dr Fox just doesn't have the faintest whiff of someone who can get anything done, not least, take responsibility for such an enormously difficult endeavour. Davies is just such a fan of Davies with only a reputation for being a back bench troublemaker. Don't get me started on Boris.
As PM wouldn't you want at least one highly competent " remainer" on the team if only to have someone to take the much needed conciliatory negotiating line.
 
Reading about the ideas on how we are going to reduce non EU migration... more lipstick on a pig as we try to pull up the drawbridge and in the process also stop access to top talent and the cream of the crop that would like to join our universities.

Again more rah-rah and nothing concrete. Also none of the things are unexpected from someone who was in charge of home office in the past and tried to do all this before

BTW neither am I a pro-migration or Xenophobic

Just blinkered. You're worse than me. :)
 
So your opinion is that he should allow EU citizens to stay in the UK without getting any kind of guarantee that UK citizens living in the EU will be allowed to stay where they are?
 
The people of the UK voted to leave the EU without giving British workers in the EU a second thought.

Now I see that Rudd is calling for a register of UK foreign workers.
I can remember another country doing that, it did not end well.
 
Absolutely disgusting news coming out of the Tory conference.

Plenty of Leave voters wouldn't have voted for this, but they have enabled it nevertheless.

Another crock of gold from you. People voting were not doing it to better the lot of people in the EU, do you think they give a toss about us.

I would imagine most were too dim to even be aware of the impact their vote would have on the British EU workers and implications on such organisations as the NHS.

I see Rudd has already backed down on her 'list of foreigners' idea.
I am starting to become seriously embarrassed and a bit scared of our current Westminster political leaders.

Except, if you read her speech there never was a "list of foreigners" idea. That is the spin placed by certain journalists upon a suggestion that employers could be asked to reveal what proportion of their workforce was from overseas. Those figures would then help Government to see if sufficient training opportunities were being offered to British workers.

At this stage it is a consultation process, nothing more.

I appreciate that may not fit with your anti-Government agenda but those would appear to be the facts.
