    deary me, May needs to make more of an effort:

    UK makes insufficient progress in EU talks

    that looks like a 3/10 with some EU leaders patting May patronisingly on the head for at least trying

    mean while

    I love how you're so confident of exactly will or won't be happening after the currently incomplete negotiations reach a conclusion.

    It may troll the 'Hard Brexiteers' enough, but for most 'Average' out voters - they would expect there may be a transitional deal and it will require fees. Also they would expect if anybody sells some product to another country that it meets their safety requirements.

    What it won't do, is allow complete unfettered freedom of movement, or our taxes being used to prop up European banks, or the euro, or the new tbc defence budget for the defence forces/army etc (wasn't this an out lie during the campaign btw?)

    oh and i'll just put this out there - I agree with you (even though it's attempted sarcasm) that there will be NO further fees paid to the EU after the transitional arrangement (if made & yet tbc) ends

    but still, keep plugging away and dropping the emoticon like it's going out of style

    No, it’s a US/Canada trade dispute.

    You've missed the bit about the obvious and serious flaws in the shared currency.
