They are poles apart on that.
No free movement=no access to single market=hard Brexit=firms relocating for bigger markets and access to talent= end of the UK as a viable world economic player.
The free movement principle has some safe guards in it which British governments of all political colours have decided not to implement e.g. the fact if you can't support yourself you can be deported like beggars of a certain ethnic group from countries that are newer in the EU. The UK government will simply say they will implement them and claim victory then every now and then do a Sarkozy and dump that group on buses to go home.
It's a complete fudge which is one of the reasons Mrs May has decided to go to the polls. She wants a bigger Tory majority to shut up the hard Brexiters plus the Remainers in her own party. She knows Corbyn is weak and people don't like him hence her going for the Labour vote with energy caps and workers rights. Plus the Tory election campaign mentions Conservatives in small letters."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I do wonder if Davis will even be the SoSeeU in the next government. May will have a much larger pool to choose from.Taking a break from contractingComment

I noticed that DExEU has just published the Welsh translation of the Policy Paper published in English on 2 Feb 2017... Didn't take them long at all.You're awesome! Get yourself a t-shirt.Comment

Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostThe EU have presented the UK bill, obviously the UK doesn't want to pay the bill so Boris Johnson coined the term "punishment beating". However the bill is in line with International Law.
It is a bit like going into a bar, buying a round of drinks and walking out without paying.
My advice is for everyone is to tighten their belts, save up and pay their "bar bill".
The estimated bill is an estimate by the FT, not the EU.
