Britons should keep EU rights post-Brexit - Guy Verhofstadt

It's a lovely thought, but... (see bit in bold)


Mr Verhofstadt said the situation "is a crisis for the EU". "The fact that a large country like Britain is leaving the EU...? It's shown a crisis in the European Union - it's a disaster. That Britain goes out of the EU is a tragedy, a disaster, a catastrophe - you name it."

He said the responsibility now is to look for "a new partnership" between the EU and the UK, but he stressed: "Unfortunately, because of the decision taken by the UK government, it can't be the single market - because they don't accept the full freedom.
"It cannot be the customs union, because they want to make their own trade deals. It cannot be by the European Court of Justice - it cannot be the European economic area."


Pressed on whether a good deal could still be reached that can work for both sides, he said: "That's exactly what we're going to try to do."

I am pleased about that and maybe now state pension will now rise with inflation. If paid into a UK bank you do not get the yearly rise. The Spanish have been very cooperative and eager to do deals
