Would also be the first trade deal to be negotiated by a country looking for less access than it already has.
Whatever about goods, services trade deals are very rare and there may not even have been one negotiated. In the medium term the EU will see that the UK loses equivalency and there will be a drain of those high paying Financial Services jobs from the City. They won’t all be lost and it won’t happen over night but there will be a telling decline. A lot of what happens in London now is based on seamless passporting to 27 countries and without that it will lose its lustre.
As senior people and jobs leave London they will make sure their new location has the necessary substance to protect their own careers and that will add to the decline.
If Leo was any good he’d address the British nation by addressing the Irish nation and tell them it’s not too late - With Britain on its knees, Now is the time for Ireland to extend the hand of friendship to the tans and to offer to pull them back up… It might only be optics, but at least when all its fails, the cunts cant use us as their scapegoat. Leo and FG would shoot right up here at home … fucker is probably too busy planning a trip to the Next Kylie Minouge concert tho.
Sammy Wilson on Sky News just there now discussing Sinn Fein “the party of the terrorists” and discussing the “draconian backstop”. Some lovely memorabilia on the wall in his home.
