So we could well end up in the EEA if parliament get to scrutinise the bill and have free movement of labour.
What a mess.

The speed of the UK being able to trade on WTO terms in its own right will partly depend on political will. Yet even if other governments co-operate and accept London’s proposals, the legal processes and paperwork are likely to take years.

Russia managed to agree entry in 19 years, and the UK is already an individual member so it should take no time at all to reach consensus across all members to reactivate individual membership terms. Probably just some boring stuff like agricultural import quotas, which shouldn't prove contentious.

One or two projects I've been working on I can really see hitting the buffers. National air traffic services for instance. It has been a long held view that EU air traffic services should be one. The UK has made a large contribution to this effort as part of the EU. What happens next? Back to West Drayton circular radar screens?!
Then there's the standards which the UK has had a hand in developing from what was BSI to now EU on Rail and Aircraft standards. Or defence standards. The UK long ago let go of individuals that are key to drafting such standards, which are so important when defining new projects.
What a mess.
