Has this become the comedy thread? I just love Jack's idea that the internet contains all we need to know about the EU negotiations. The only people who know that are the people in the room. The rest is biased speculation in the case of media sites and carefully filtered spin in the case of the EU site. The latter is not the unedited minutes of the meetings. The only time we'll know what the deal, or not, looks like, is when negotiations are complete and the two sides issue a joint communique signed by all parties.
Too right Merv.
As I've said previously, my SIL is a senior Civil Servant currently at DexEu and all she can tell me is about the UK's preparations.
The actual negotiations will be drip fed to the public.
Ultimately, it will be whatever Martin Selmayr agrees to.
He is the power broker in Brussels and has an unhealthy hatred of all things British.
My fiver is still on no deal.
