General Discussion
Negotiations on the UK side are being conducted by Olly Robbins who was once Principal Private Secretary to Tony Blair, and while studying at Oxford was president of the Oxford Reform Club, a group promoting a federal EU. So we have a Remain Prime Minister and the chief negotiator is of the same ilk. No wonder we are where we are. Michael Portillo made a very good point on Thursday's This ...
And if they are of benefit to us I don't see the problem. The problem might be that if we are out of the EU they could be rescinded or amended.
The negotiations are being led on the EU's part by Michel Barnier and his team. As well as the Uk government having to agree to whatever is being proposed as I understand the situation so too do all the governments of the remaining EU countries.

More than 50,000 EU laws introduced in the UK over last 25 years highlights scale of challenge facing lawmakers following ‘Brexit’

But that could take more time than the March 2019 deadline allows for. Click on this link for a synopsis of what May is proposing ...
The findings is sure to bolster the view among Brexiteers that there may be divisions on the EU side that can be exploited to Britain’s advantage in Phase 2 of the negotiations, which are due to start within weeks. So far, the EU has demonstrated rock-solid unity over the three divorce issues of citizens’ rights, the Brexit bill and the Northern Irish border. But that may be harder to sustain when ...
Complete speclation by Lostit. It is all might, if's and maybe's. It is now that matters. SO HOW DO WE GET OUT? We have more bargaining power that many of the other countries that are still in the EU. Our fisheries policy is scaring many who roam around in our waters freely now, but won't be able too when we leave There are many others that depend heavily on what we buy from them and are scared ...
