    fat bloke down the pub says everything'll be fine, so there you go
    You drink in the same pub as shaunbhoy?
    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.

      If s/he means the Withdrawal Agreement, then no, there is nothing in that. However, the WA includes the transition period within which we are effectively still subject to all existing treaties and agreements.

      Of s/he means the future trade arrangement, there are no specifics in that, it’s just a fudge to get us through into the transition period.
      It seems there is a complete lack of planning for this. I was speaking with a friend who owns a small coach company. He said the matter is very complicated because even if an agreement about insurance and licences could be sorted out with the EU, countries such as Serbia which have an agreement with rhea EU will not automatically recognise UK documents. It may be back to the old days for coach operators and long waits going through customs.

      My first holiday to Spain in the 50s involved changing coaches at each boarder.

        There are 750-ish EU agreements that we are party to as a member state that we will lose, that cover not only cover trade, but also regulatory cooperation, transport, etc.

        Those that are advocating for “No Deal” and that we should fall back to “WTO rules” usually fail to mention that we already trade under WTO rules PLUS all of these aligning agreements.

          No, that's not correct.

          The Millar case was about the sovereignty of Parliament to authorise the triggering of Article 50.

          Old Greg has it correct, with "meaningful vote". This was the amendment that Dominic Grieve and others brought in as an amendment to the EU Withdrawal Bill. You might remember the furore over that happening?

          Funny, that the "saboteurs and traitors" got it right (again) and it is only due to their actions that the Brexiter MPs have a right to vote down the proposed WA.

            Shauny doesn't drink down there, he stands in the toilets turning on taps for you and offering paper towels for a tip. Whatever you do though, don't take one of his lollipops, you don't know where they've been

              Damn those "saboteurs and traitors" for being right all the time. Anyone would think they know what they're talking about

                      He's Scottish.

                      To get rid of Northern Ireland to the Republic, I'd seriously consider chucking in Scotland free of charge. The Irish used to own half of Scotland anyway...
