What I do not understand is this constant criticism of the EU.
The decision to leave has been taken, what the EU is or is not, is really nothing to do with us at all now.
The remaining members can stay in, it is their choice, or they can leave, again their choice.
We have chosen to leave the biggest trading block in the world and in doing so we are not only leaving the Single Market, we are leaving every Trade Agreement we had as part of the EU.
The EU is under no obligation at all to give us a Trade Deal,any Trade Deal, most certainly not the one we want.
It is not the EU who has fixed a date for leaving and then asked for a Transition period because they are not ready to leave on that date, it is the UK who has done that.
It is not the EU who has objected to the UK continuing with other Free Deals, it is the other Countries who have said no and objected to the WTO, annoyed by our arrogance in telling them what deal they will be giving us.
We may or may not get a Free Trade Deal with the EU, they will offer the UK what suits them, not what suits the UK.
That is the way of the world.
Even tiny New Zealand has objected to the UK's proposals.
A Trade deal with the USA will require we open our market up to factory farmed, GM fed, antibiotic stuffed beef and pork and chlorine washed chicken.
India has said no deal unless we allow more immigration for Indians wanting to come and work in the UK.
Instead of arguing amongst themselves and generally messing things up, our Politicians need to do what we elected them to do, which is to make sure we leave on the day with as many deals as possible in place.
