I thought we were debating Deal or No Deal. Is it over then? Has it been sorted? Has anyone told T. May? I heard Boris Johnson on last week's Andrew Marr show say that he would take personal responsibility if people were to lose their jobs because of a No Deal brexit. He didn't define what he meant by that though. I wondered if he meant he would pay the mortgages and bills and suchlike ...

Be a bit difficult for people to live without life saving drugs........ And yes I expect people would, and already do say, we need more police, navy ships etc But the way they are financed is by way of taxes. And to pay taxes people need to be in jobs. And a No Deal Brexit threatens lots of UK jobs. And as for cars. Well, all those Mercedes, VWs and Fiats will be no prob for the ...

Didn't the negotiations for the free trade deal between the EU and Japan start off in 2012? And how long did the Canada/EU free trade deal take before being agreed? 7 years or so. From what I understand it can take years for Free Trade Deals to be agreed. In the meantime UK plc will be on WTO terms and tariffs. Can you clarify something for me please Burneside. Am I right in ...

Of course the UK is a global trader, and if we ever get unshackled from the EU we will be an even bigger and better global trader, able to strike trade deals with whomever we please.  It's interesting to note that the EU has recently signed a free trade agreement with Japan which will come into force sometime next year, but the Japanese will not be paying billions into Brussels, accepting free ...
