US commerce Secretary has said that the UK will have to renounce existing EU food standards such as no chlorinated chicken if we want a US trade deal.
Get stuffed seems a suitable response.

Paying a price for a decent UK/EU trade deal seems a reasonable prospect to me.


But I'm not at all sure that it's "what people voted for". Or were expecting. But it's hard to say because the referendum campaign on all sides was largely devoid of specifics.

Exactly. It was just a binary choice. There was no political room for a 'third option'. If anyone had suggested the idea of paying for a trade deal they would have been ridiculed by the EU as well as both sides in the UK.

It isn't "paying for a trade deal" though, is it. It's the UK meeting its remaining financial obligations to the EU, which is understandably a precondition for discussion of any future arrangement.


It also seems to have gone very quiet on all 3 negotiation priorities agreed to by the UK; financial obligations, Irish border and EU citizens' rights.
As the old cliche goes; the clock is ticking, and I sense no urgency on the part of HM Govt. Just imagine the chaos should the UK crash out without resolving these and the many other issues. The EU leadership would be fine with it, as not too many would be keen to follow the UK out the exit door.

Question
Are there any Pro OUT posters still under the illusion that it's going to "be alright @ the end off the day " or have they given up & crawled back into the fox holes they have been fighting from, probably never to be heard from again.
AVQ Yes /No will do

Quite so.

The economic pain and chaos will only be properly realised once the UK has finally left, takes time to filter through, and too late to revoke Art 50.
