Have we got an 'interest quotient monitor' now? 🤔

Tice banging on about this did make me laugh. We left from a strong position that included a veto and now we want to trade with them we have to accept their rules.
The fishing thing is odd too as the deal will apparently make it easier for our brave fisherfolk to sell their hard earned catches to a European market that dwarves the UK for most fish and shellfish.

A veto is not making the rules.
Also people seem to forget we do trade with the the EU and have a trade deal with them.

If only people had warned about this consequence beforehand, maybe then Farage, Johnson etc. would have realised the error of their ways.

No but we did also help make the rules. Quite a few of them IIRC
Yes, an utterly crap one organised by the Tories which cost us over £100bn.

In your humble opinion. Got the stats to back up that £100bn claim?

Everything to play for. One has to hope that the closeness will energise all the people who don't want to see the far right in charge, as happened in Romania.
FFS!

Great news. Netflix have picked up the rights to long running subversive socialist propaganda outlet Sesame Street.

Okay, back to the current govt. They have secured trade deals with India and the USA (which you, prior to such deals, personally said would be a good thing if Labour could negotiate them), played a leading role in supporting Ukraine and bringing together a European security coalition. Oh, and just agreed a new deal with our largest trading partners that will improve our position on trade, fishing, agriculture, energy and more.
The Brexit voters will no doubt bang on about immigration, but our largest levels of net migration occurred under a Tory govt. in direct response to the problems caused by their own Brexit folly.

It's easy to be blasé when you aren't personally affected but plenty of people in industries that relied on trade with EU countries and EU support (fishing and farming being the obvious examples always trotted out) were badly impacted by this. Brexit voters in general talk a lot about patriotism and sovereignty and bettering the UK, but voting for something that made your fellow citizens poorer and then pretending it never happened, or worse still, not giving a toss about them, is hardly patriotic.
