    Sounds like the decisions are being made and collective responsibility is about to emerge.

    The overall approach being hardball, as May et al. have alluded to for months. Obviously, they want to replicate some aspects of the SM and CU through a comprehensive FTA and they will be seeking a time- and scope-limited transition agreement (that looks nothing like EEA, since May has ruled out ECJ at the point of exit). They don't really want the UK to become a tax haven and to start a trade war, but it's about what you're willing to accept in extremis. Whether it works is anyone's guess (doubtful, perhaps, but the EU is a loose coalition and cracks are emerging on the City and defence already). Regardless, the opposite approach of softball taken by Hamface definitely didn't work.

      Passport queues 'could be longer after Brexit', airports warn - BBC News


      So, we're taking control of our borders by getting rid of UKBF staff and then saying they will cope with the extra work load.
      Perhaps funding the NHS means taking money away from it.
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        The prime minister is said to be preparing to make clear that she is willing to sacrifice the UK’s membership of the single market and customs union in order to bring an end to freedom of movement.
        So really it was all about foreigners in the end...
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          Control of foreigners, is a big part of it. Yes.

            Will they now start the building special camps on the South Downs ready for the expatriation of them all?

              Why not? Britain will be out of reach for EU Court of Human Rights - finally the workforce can become flexible - no need for those silly safety laws, minimum wage, I can see China moving their swet shops to Britain - only thing needed is Chinese translation of Dickens novels...

                Again we see terrorist style "negotiations" - give us what we demand OR else - that can't possibly work

                So UK abandons "social model", who that going to hit, EU or those who voted for Brexit? If anything this perfectly suits EU

                Welfare already reduced probably by maximum possible before Labour wins by landslide in same areas, if Budget deficit is higher then who would be buying UK debt issues in rapidly depreciating currency?

                Very bad bluff

                  I imagine those that are here will be free to stay. Us Brits have been hugely hospitable and accommodating.

                      You really do wrap stupidity around yourself like a comfort blanket.

                      Putting you in charge of making the Remain case would be like putting Gazza in charge of your drinks cabinet!
