Your Sunday Brexit update

Sunday is the day when "exclusive" interviews are given in the broadsheets and on Sunday morning politics TV shows.

Today, a group of former Tory ministers and JRM signed a letter demanding:

There should be an "in principle" agreement for a free trade deal to be in place The current free movement of EU citizens into the UK should end No new EU regulations should apply in the UK The European Court of Justice should "cease to have any jurisdiction whatsoever" in the UK

Any extension of transition has to be, by EU law, under the same terms as being as a member, so these demands would further restrict what choices the PM, or any PM in getting a deal. Britain is on no position to demand anything

Once upon a time, the Conservative and Unionist Party prided itself on being the party of business and wealth creation, instead of one that has been hijacked by Brexit headbangers insisting upon their own interpreation as to what the referendum result meant. And bugger anyone, or the EU or even the WTO say otherwise.

There is still the Irish border issue, which is never going to go away, and will be a massive risk, for them, if they allow trade talks to continue.

Bear in mind that the headbangers said that this would be the easiest negotiations in history, that Britain holds all the cards and the EU needs us more than we ne need them. In eight months the EU has not given an inch, all movement has been on the British side. Latest movement is that May has indicated that Britain might accept the European Air Traffic Control system, which is overseen by the ECJ..

If one dominio should begin to fall........
