Trade Deal
I read early today that Mrs May had said that if we did not get the deal we wanted, we would walk away and pay nothing.I now read that David Davis has agreed with the EU that the first stage deal should now be made lawful, so we would not be able to not pay.
Do we actually know what we are doing?

Your trouble is that you are too quick to regurgitate the BBC narrative rather than think for yourself.

In terms of the Rand report (by that I mean the original report on the Rand site), I thought it was heavily biased. Of course they would see that as a solution and from the US point of view it makes sense.
But we do need an agreement that works with the US. So do our illustrious politicos have a strategy for trade with the US?

I am far more concerned about how well our politicians are doing.

Everything else is Crystal Ball Gazing.
Don't get me wrong, The Rand Organisation has influence but is a purely US centric think tank and has no consideration for personal choice or self determination.
It's predictions and analysis are designed to serve US political and strategic interests and nothing less. It's main concern about Brexit is the reduced US interest in Europe through its UK proxy.
And even if it's prediction of a financial cost to the UK economy turn out to be correct ..You need to accept Annie, that for most Leavers that will be a price worth paying...

The bigger the Financial cost, the more will be unhappy.
The more that are unhappy will translate to votes against the Government in the next Election.
Corbyn in power will be a disaster.

Re: Trade Deal
Many of us voted out realising it might not be financially better for a while, what we expected was people would work together to make it easier, what we got is a load of people trying to stop us leaving rehashing the bebate daily and negotiators that seem to want t stay in too.I'm fed up to back teeth with the lot of it.
