There will be plenty to talk about for years to come.
Their plan is to not ratify until they absolutely have to. As long as we signed and they haven't they can create a political sh1t storm because all they will do is accuse us of breaking international law (if we deviate) and creating political division in the leave/remain camps of the government and give the remainers something to get triggered over.
They've accused us of this this several times already and history shows its taken years for them to ratify a trade agreement with other 3rd countries. To expect them to do it with us in 6 months is nonesense. As it stands, with the government signing this crap deal the EU have us where they want us, especially regarding Ireland and Fisheries, while we still keep paying them billions each year.
We ratified the agreement without proper scrutiny by Parliament and in particular the ERG and leave members. It was all rammed through in a day and we had about 2 weeks to digest the content of 1200 pages of international treaty.
What a shambles, while we have the chance we should tear it up and walk away. No deal is better than this deal.
