Irish positive on EU/UK Brexit Talks - Brexit Update 3 - Transitional Phase

Telegraph: Reports " Outline of Brexit trade deal could be in sight at end of week, says Irish prime minister...Michel Barnier warns there are still fundamental differences between the EU and UK in the trade negotiations  "

Lets Get Real:

Of course there will be concessions, the UK and the EU have their RED LINES, but the UK can not sell out the fishermen and OUR FISH in OUR WATERS, the UK alone must decide on parts of the economy that gets government support due to COVID - 19.  Also the European Court of Justice can not be part of the deal.   Both sides need to sell the deal as a victory, otherwise it will be torn apart by those that oppose the deal or wanted to REMAIN within the EU.  Time is short, the Diplomats must get to work. 

No Date set for in person meetings over UK/EU Talks - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Independent: Reports " No date set for in-person talks to resume as negotiations stuck at crucial stage "

Lets Get Real:

At least with modern technology the UK and the EU can discuss the details of any agreement by seeing the other side, and can they be trusted, the French are pushing for fish concessions that they have NOW, that is a no go for the UK Government.  The EU wants an agreement that makes sure that the UK and the EU have the same regulations, that is doable if left a bit fuzzy, the ECJ can not have a role in this agreement, that is NO GO FOR for the European Research Group.   That leaves open how to enforce the deal, that takes trust, at this moment this blog does not trust EU as far as it can throw it, intense talks ahead.

Brexit Latest - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

The Sun: Reports " BORIS Johnson is expected to make a dramatic Brexit intervention ahead of a new "deadline" for talks to conclude...It is understood that a new deadline of next Tuesday... "

Lets Get Real:

There seems an awful lot of deadlines in these talks between the UK and the EU, it this it, next Tuesday, I will not hold by breath, it depends what concessions the EU demanding, and what will the UK give for a free trade deal.  As a vaccine for COVID - 19 is around the corner, the issue of Brexit will get more attention.  The main sticking points for the UK is that the UK should have control over our FISH in OUR WATERS.  The French from reports are still demanding a massive concessions for French fishermen, this should get a firm NO from the UK, these endless games must stop, one does not want to be here on December 31st discussing this again.
