They have been back and forth with their negotiations so many times now, can they afford, politically, to change course again and fulfill proper Brexit?! YES is the answer! If the conservatives did that, they would sweep the nation at the next general election (except for the few constituencies who voted Remain of course). I have a suspicion that there may well be plans in whisper a foot in the darker corridors of power. I cannot believe that the BREXITEERS won't do something significant to effect a NO DEAL! And it would not surprise me if Andrea Leadsom and Boris etc are behind it. I was hoping she would get PM job but we ended up with May!
Its all too quite on the Parliament front so somethings cooking!! Hope!!
I dont think Andrea Leadsom has enough experience or is strong enough......
Boris is a loose cannon and is no 'Trump'......
Its time for a **SUPER HERO** .....from the back benches
Enter J.R,Mogg with his underpants over his trousers.
Could do worse.......a lot worse.
That is correct. It gets cheaper for us and better for the NHS costs.

More fear mongering ..... Remainers are now saying medication for the
UK will run out in two weeks if we leave without a deal.....
Hmmn.... Will the multinational companies want to lose ALL that profit
from us? ..... I very much doubt it!!
But then we will be free to negoiate in open markets else where,
possibly cheaper than what the multinationals charge.
The pharmaceutical industry in India ranks 3rd in the world terms
of volume and 14th in terms of value. According to Department of
Pharmaceuticals,

For the optimistic there is always a market ..... a revolving door.
When I was in sales there was a saying *When one door closes, move
on and open another door.
The trouble is our politician's have become lazy and complacent while
we have been shackled to the EU, and they dont like the fact that they
will have to actually start earning their salaries again.

Like I said we are heading for FAKEXIT and becoming a vassal state of the EU! I am ashamed the Lion may be no more!!
Now that the Chequers deal is off the table, even the Brexiteers are turning towards the single market and the EEA

It may all backfire on the EU and Brussels. If the Lion does not roar it does not mean that it has lost its might or its voice but merely at slumber! Lets see what comes between now and March! Surprises may be a foot me thinks!

I'm afraid this was on the cards when Junker ran over to the US to grovel to President Trump.
You can bet that his deal involves slow-walking any UK deal and staying out of Brexit negotiations.
May should have said FU to the EU and should have already had a deal done with the US - regardless of EU membership requirements... but she was too weak (or complicit in this fraud perpetrated against the people)
Patriotic, optimistic and a world expert on trade deals: Why Theresa May must listen to top aide Crawford Falcone on Brexit
In the office of Crawford Falconer, Chief Trade Negotiation Adviser at the Department of International Trade, a man of immense experience in such matters. And, in contrast to the doomsayers, his message about Brexit is one of almost unbounded optimism.
He is convinced that after a period of psychological and economic adjustment to being outside the EU, Britain’s fortunes will thrive. He cannot understand why people are ‘so negative about our future’, and says the world is ‘begging’ to do trade deals with us.
Falconer is a man with 25 years of experience in international trade negotiations. He was New Zealand’s ambassador in Britain (although born in Scotland, he was brought up a Kiwi), as well as his adopted country’s permanent representative to the World Trade Organisation (WTO).His verdict on a post-Brexit Britain could not be more upbeat.
‘The opportunities are enormous,’ he told the Sunday Times. ‘There are so many, where do I start? In ten years, maybe even quicker, people will look back and say: “Oh, why were we so negative about our future?” ’
The Washington-based International Monetary Fund forecasts that over the next ten to 15 years almost all significant global growth will originate outside Europe.
By 2020, China’s middle class — who are powerful engines of economic growth — will have expanded to 600 million people. India’s already numbers up to 300 million. It is estimated there will be 1.1 billion African middle classes by 2060.
Those populations, Falconer explains, will be desperate for British services and goods.
‘The world is the UK’s oyster,’ he says. ‘We produce the best professional services in the world. Our banks are the best in the world. Our insurance companies the most reliable. Our architects, our designers, our lawyers, our accountants: they are world-class.
We have intellectual property rights to die for. It is these services that the fastest-growing economies in Asia and Africa crave. The world is begging for the UK to be able to trade with it. We’ll be pushing on an open door.’
He sees huge export opportunities in goods from cars to aircraft wings and foodstuffs. ‘The world is crying out for protein and safe food generally. In East Asia, that’s what they want. They don’t trust their domestic production, with good reason. The UK makes world-class produce. We can now negotiate with countries in a way that’s specifically tailored to getting our salmon and our venison on tables.’
As well as a being a powerhouse for financial services, Britain is home to Europe’s top four research universities and dominates in sectors such as popular music, computer gaming, video and publishing.
We’re world-beaters in pharmaceutical and aerospace research. Our technology know-how is envied across the globe, with Chinese, Japanese and American digital firms constantly on the prowl to buy our leading innovative firms.
In the past six months, Chinese firms have invested £1.7 bn in UK technology.
But the fact is that, despite Brussels bravado about the efficacy of a Single Market, EU member states have suffered over recent years because their Brussels rule-setters have been too inward-looking. They are obsessed by trade within the EU — to the detriment of the potential of wider possibilities across the whole world.
he shape of global trade is changing before our eyes — and it is trade outside Europe that we must encourage.
Anyone who listens to those who want the UK to stay in the EU would think that Brexit was a crazy act of self-harm.
The truth is otherwise. Ever since the Brexit vote, our economy has prospered. Unemployment is at its lowest level since the Seventies.
