Creating a comprehensive deal between EU and UK is not feasible in the timeframe. 

 

There will either be a barebone deal between EU and UK. Or there might not be no deal at all. This naturally does not mean no deals at all, but some interim deals, which are thought to be humain.

Sajid Javid: no alignment on EU regulations after Brexit

Chancellor’s comments represent ‘death knell for frictionless trade’, experts warn

The chancellor, Sajid Javid, has warned that there will be no alignment with EU regulations once Britain’s exit from the European Union is made official.

In what is being seen as an opening salvo in the next stage of negotiations, he said the Treasury would not lend support to manufacturers that favour EU rules as the sector has had three years to prepare for Britain’s transition.

In an interview with the Financial Times, he said: “There will not be alignment, we will not be a rule taker, we will not be in the single market and we will not be in the customs union – and we will do this by the end of the year.

Each and everyone will get what they deserved at the end of the day. 

 

Some people, who hold the power, might think that they have the upper hand in this came. At the end of the day, they will learn what is coming to them. People will not stand for too long being fooled by those who like to play the strings.

ok,

but the lack of support will be as of Feb this year

 

 

at any rate as one say in Yorkshire,

language like this is likely to seriously hamper the trade deal talks

 

but maybe BJ et al feels on top of the world now and are fully prepared to swallow degraded US food products

along with US influence on health related products and services

seems BJ is not able to do things quietly, must create noise wherever . . .

Brexit: UK immigration will 'put people before passports', Johnson tells African leaders

PM’s light-on-detail speech at investment summit extols benefits of trade after EU exit

 

Boris Johnson has promised that the UK’s new immigration policy will put “people before passports” as he used his first set-piece speech of 2020 to extol the benefits of trade with post-Brexit Britain to a major gathering of African leaders.

Addressing more than two dozen African presidents and prime ministers in an opening speech to the UK-Africa investment summit in London on Monday, the prime minister said the UK was the “ultimate one-stop shop” for trade, education and tech.

“Look around the world today and you will swiftly see that the UK is not only the obvious partner of choice, we’re also very much the partner of today, of tomorrow and decades to come,” he said in a speech focusing more on general entreaties than specific policy ideas.

Johnson said people from African countries could benefit from the still-to-be detailed changes to the immigration system after Brexit, which will end the free movement of people to and from EU nations.

I really don't think that the UK is too bothered about the EUs intransigence any more David, the EU is laying out their red lines even before the negotiations have even begun. It was reported in the Daily Mail (don't laugh, they can be correct) that the UK government is secretly planning for a 'no deal' option in December if the talks fail.

 

Javid said "The Chancellor told the Financial Times: 'There will not be alignment, we will not be a rule-taker, we will not be in the single market and we will not be in the customs union and we will do this by the end of the year.' 

 

And on top of this they want us to include our fishing rights in the negotiations, maybe we will get a better deal if we are outside the EU and not be treated as some pariah state whilst still in.

 

The talks are doomed before we even begin, but as the Thais say 'up to them'

The current Boris government cares nothing else than taking care of the bankers, the millionaire and billionaire investors, who can hide their moneys from governmental scrutiny. 

If there is no deal. That's fine as it means that EU can not get it's investigative fingers to see where UK's super rich people hide their moneys from taxpayers eyes. 

That is the goal why these well off bankers and their beneficiaries were so keen to Get Brexit Done. 

 

For the rich, from the people.

EU to start talks with UK on post-Brexit relationship on 3 March

Negotiators face challenging 10-month deadline as leaked EU papers warn of ‘cliff edge’

Negotiations on the UK’s post-Brexit relationship with the EU will start on 3 March, the Guardian has learned.

Officials led by Michel Barnier and Boris Johnson’s Europe adviser, David Frost, will embark on the vital talks in the spring with a challenging 10-month deadline.The UK is due to leave the EU on Friday at midnight central European time – nearly four years since the referendum. The prime minister has said he will not extend the transition period past 31 December 2020. Until then, the UK will stay in the single market and customs union.

A leaked internal document from the EU member states, seen by the Guardian, notes that without a deal by the end of December 2020, there will be a “cliff edge” in many areas and “no return to the status quo” Once the talks start in earnest on 3 March, it will be access to fishing ……...

Brussels firms up position and bloc’s unity before tough talks on future relationship with UK

While the UK parliament has passed the EU withdrawal agreement and argued over whether Big Ben bongs at the moment of Brexit, the European Union has been sharpening its position for the next phase of talks.

Over this month, more than 200 EU diplomats have taken part in 11 seminars totalling more than 35 hours. Led by the team of the chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, the seminars, which conclude on Wednesday with a meeting of EU ambassadors, are intended to keep the bloc together, before difficult talks on the post-Brexit future relationship.

 

What have we learned?

The EU’s opening offer has been confirmed: the UK will be given a zero-tariff, zero-quota free-trade deal, in exchange for signing up to core EU standards to protect the environment, workers’ and consumers’ rights, and avoiding “unfair” state subsidies. Known as “the level playing field”, these standards are like a slogan through a stick of rock for the EU.
