    Theresa May has said the British government is examining the operation of the US-Canadian border as it seeks a solution to the Northern Ireland border problem.
    That's going to work well:

    There are guns and armed customs guards on that border. Surely that is not what she has in mind?

    US offers UK sh*te aviation deal post Brexit

    Lets face it, not only will the EU offer the UK a sh*te deal, so will everyone else.

    Why are brexiters so surprised, confused and upset that the EU27 are trying to preserve their union? Why are you so surprised that the EU won't give us everything we want, even if it makes the EU weaker? Why would they? The UK wants what's best for itself at a cost to the EU27 and yet it is they who are being unreasonable! I just can't believe the stupidity and ignorance of brexit voters.

    We can choose to expel the lodger and set out our own stall in competition if we do that the lodger will lose sales and a bitter rivalry will start.

    Barnier’s response is much better:

    I welcome PM @theresa_may speech. Clarity about #UK leaving Single Market and Customs Union & recognition of trade-offs will inform #EUCO guidelines re: future FTA.

    Theresa, we don't want sound bites, we don't want pithy slogans, we don't want tests that aren't tests, we want to know what the government's plans are, we want to know how the government intends to deliver their plans in the next 13 months, we want to know why, after 21 months of prevaricating, the UK government is no closer to negotiating a deal.
    yep they are both Bollocks so yes I imagine he copied your homework.

    They are playing for time and hoping we crash out so they can say - "look that is what happens when you decide to leave Mother Brussels"

    It’s a pretty pathetic response from Guy.

    Immediate dismissal with condescending put downs.

    How do you negotiate with that?

    Reacting after the Prime Minister’s third major speech on leaving the EU, Guy Verhofstadt said he hoped that “serious proposals have been put in the post” by the Prime Minister, as Ms May’s plans received a frosty reception in Brussels.

    Too much self preservation methinks.
