    I have always been mightily impressed with Anand Menon.

    This is a non-issue in the EU. Treaty signed and the EU has moved on to other important issues (Ukraine, chips, India, etc.). The UK now needs implement the Treaty and accept their third country status.

    Brexit now is a British domestic issue. Quite frankly in the EU, life goes on with its ups and downs, and without the UK but almost nobody noticed or cared. We are not the ones that have to change tons of regulations and implement new procedures in a hurry, we are not the ones with empty shelves. Britain has chosen to retrat into self-imprisonment, we'll see how that works out in this world of giants. I'm also reading that London might become a super financial laundry for toxic money; in the meantime responsible financial institutions are moving to the EU.

      @@Thegrumpycoach But they are not. 7.500 financial jobs so far have gone to the EU, the City of London have more than replaced those jobs.
      50.000 was the predicted job loss.

    Everyone still talking about implications for exports. It’s the only part they understand.
    But the real purpose of Brexit is to free up domestic production from constraints imposed by EU
    A good constitutional lawyer will successfully argue that laws and regulations not on our statute books are null and void.
    We need to start phasing out most animal husbandry: it’s hugely wasteful of resources - not just of land but if labour as well , and of course animals have to be fed and kept healthy which is very demanding on resource.
    We need to start planning to revert agricultural land to crop growing for domestic consumption. We’ve been living beyond our means and this means someone has to suffer the consequences - it looks like exporters of farm produced product to Europe are to be the fall guys. Since they tend to be self-centred profiteers anyway I’m sure they’ll find other ways to damage our economy
    We have to go back to move forward - establish a more co-operative way of doing business and give ourselves some resilience in the world
    The mad woman wants it to be harder for UK citizens to trade or travel in EU: so be it.
    Let her answer to Spain Italy Greece and France whose tourist industries make billions of euros out of loutish Brits every year (hint: see how desperately they are luring us back after the fictitious pandemic)

    EU citizen here: there will be no renegotiation on the protocol before an honest attempt is made by the UK to implement it.
    Regarding the TCA and its renegotiation (again, another one) the only powerful tool the UK has is to stop diverging and start doing things in sync.
    In fact the TCA may survive if the UK finally complies with the WA (NI protocol IN FULL) and some MPs in Westminster are working to demolish it and go full NO DEAL.
    Many Britons believe that the UK is on equal footing with the EU. It is not because the EU is 27 nations and 450 million people that have common rules and are not going to change them because some displease the UK (one country, not so much united of 67 million). So the UK wants to work with the EU? Then start talking the same business language and comply with the same rules, instil a bit of trust by being true to signed agreement (WA, TCA, GFA) and then it will be far better.
    The present mood in the EU about the UK is: what will be their next game/blackmail/threat/insult?

      Absolutely agree. The UK seems to think it’s only Brussels that standing in their way.
      It’s not, citizens of the EU are sick and tired of listening to the UK throw their toys out of the pram because it can’t get its way.
      The UK needs to remind themselves Leave won. Get over it.

    An interessting discussion. There is a slight different feeling over here in the EU. Brexit is done when it comes to newspapers and politics. Now the groundwork of implementing has to be done and most of us are very pleased in how it is done from the EU side. Its now a burocratic process not more not less.

    I find it funny I'm watching something that popped up as 'recommendation' from TH-cam. Two English gentlemen talking about EU-UK relations.
    The first question I have to ask: Where is the EU partner in that conversation? Seems to me this is one of the reasons of brexit.
    You have no idea who the people in Europe are, you talk without knowing nor knowledge. Simply put, another video wasting time.

    Maybe sinn Fein will change its abstentionist policy and if they become the largest party in ni that they will send MPs to Westminster to ensure that NI affairs are kept in view in Westminster. David mccabe dublin
