Mr Brexit approves of Brexit Deal - Brexit Update 3 - Transitional Phase

Daily Mail: Reports " 'It may not be perfect, but it's a big step forward': Nigel Farage says he would vote for Brexit deal 'in principle' if he was an MP as UK signs historic trade agreement with the EU "

Lets Get Real:

It will be interesting to see how the ERG vote when the Brexit Deal comes to the House of Commons, if Nigel Farage is for it, the ERG will need dam good reason to object, sometimes its easier to get on a train than see it pass you in the wind.  The ERG as this blog suggested will go through the deal in detail, a deal that gets you 70% of what you want, is better than NO DEAL, not every ERG will support the Deal that is expected, but the PM should get a majority of them to vote for the Deal.  Thus you have the Labour Party voting for the deal, Government Ministers and their staff and one presumes most Conservative MPs, then the deal should go through, those opposed will be the SNP, Liberal Democrats and a few ERG members, some are people will never be pleased. 

PM Boris on Brexit Deal - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase


Lets Get Real:

The PM had some nice words to say about Europe, that the UK had cultural links to the EU, etc. this was to keep the Remainers happy, or as I call them moaning remainers.  As of the 1st of January 2021 the UK is FREE of Europe, we can do what we like, not that we are going to rush to change things, just we have the option as a sovereign nation, the main issue for a lot of voters in 2016 was immigration, the UK will decide who comes in to the UK in the New Year with the end of freedom of movement. Given the economic shock of COVID - 19 and its mutant strain, there will be a lot of unemployed UK citizens looking for jobs that were once done by Europeans.  It will be a relief not to have to think about EU or Brexit for a while.   This blog might go for a city break in Paris, one hopes they KNOW now how to make a cup of tea and not Ice Tea, that is an American invention.  

Finally a BREXIT DEAL - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " both the UK and the EU have put pragmatism over firm principle, and agreed an historic accord that will affect so many aspects of how we live.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we finally have a BREXIT DEAL, let's look at the positive outcomes of the Brexit Deal, the UK as of the December 31st will have control of its borders ( No free movement ), no more monies to the EU ( No more expensive subs ) and we will get our fish back during a 5 year transition.  There will be NO ROLE for the ECJ, and any difficulties will be judged by a new body represented by the EU and the UK.   The minus point, we do not get ALL our fish back, it has been argued that the fishing industry could never have built the new fishing ships in time, so a transitional period is good.  A good DEAL should please both sides, that seems to have worked, the EU regrets we are leaving but accepts the fact, while the UK is FREE of the EU as of 1st of JANUARY.   Not a bad day at all. It should be noted that we have not seen the details of the deal, it does not matter, as Labour will support the Deal, no real choice, they do not want a NO DEAL BREXIT. When a reporter asked Sir Keir what were the benefits of the leaving the EU he did not have an answer, he needs an answer by 2024.
