No deal better than a bad deal

"No deal" means we can move to the trade negotiation stage, kicking the can down the road means we can't. Dieter Kempf talks a lot of sense, perhaps we should hire him for the next set of negotiations. The useless twats we have now aren't up to the job.

The trade deal better then the best possible trade deal we already have?

Yep, we can move straight to the trade negotiation stage.

Day 1: Let’s talk about a financial settlement and a backstop before we discuss trade.

HTH.

Yes, we have a lovely trade deal, but it costs £10billion a year, and we can't even control our own fishing rights. Get back in your box, knob-ead...

Oh, that old canard. Successive UK governments have run down the smaller boat fishing industry anyway - the owners of the handful of the very big trawlers (permitted by the UK government) are the ones making profits, and will continue to do so, post brexit. Small boats are marginal and will continue to be, post brexit.

Interestingly, the EU has rules that should help the small boat fishermen, but the UK ignores those rules.
