Sean Jones KCWhile the desire for less trade friction with the EU is positive, the idea of sectoral agreements without freedom of movement is a straightforward return to the cakeism of old (hi @ottocrat and @[email protected]). To describe it as “Swiss-style” is misleading because, whilst the Swiss have tried to evade FoM, the EU has always insisted on it. The UK continues to act as if all it has to do is demand something and the EU will concede it. Sigh. #Brexit
Jason Thomas@SeanJones @ottocrat @GuitarMoog it is still like that great analogy about original brexit negotiations, the uk is negotiating in the penthouse suite of a skyscraper and the only tactic they have is to threaten to jump out the window if they don’t get what they want. It is bemusing to watch.
@JT66 @ottocrat @[email protected] Screaming “This is going to hurt you more than it hurts me!” All the way down.
