OK, I don’t think there is much to jump on about the Amsterdam thing.

But I also think that that Andrew Bailey misses the

During the referendum the argument was made that because the EU regulatory regime was agreed with the UK that passporting would be granted.

And we were told it was crucial by Andrea Leadsom’s campaign team after the referendum.

There is a reason why financial services tend to be in separate chapters of trade deals.

They are not the average service.

1. This is not correct by @BBCRosAtkins

2. Firstly, the EU shared rules in the deal they did with Canada, they just did it in a different way.

3. Canada were required to sign up to several car regulations in UNECE.

4. The EU has, at minimum, 48% of the vote on any one of those regulations. With CETA, Canada agreed to share rules where it can be outvoted, and most likely will be.

5. The alignment the EU is proposing for the UK is different. It's based on dynamic alignment which is about approximating rules.

Apparently Boris Johnson's ready made deal did include a trade deal as it's main point after all...

(It didn't and this is just another example of how Brexit is driven by constant deceit)

For those keeping track, as of this week the rule was:
The EU are negotiating in bad faith because they aren't giving us the trade deal the WA guarantees.

Today:
The WA definitely doesn't guarantee a trade deal.

I don't mind making these notifications, but as Brexit goes on I think we might need a government institution to keep track of what was said, done, and written down as it changes from day to day.

Oh, and in case you missed it, before this week: Everybody knew we were explicitly voting to leave the Single Market take back control of all our laws and the ECJ.

From this week:
Remainers radicalised the leavers into leaving the Single Market, the ECJ and repatriating our laws

Oh, gosh. If only it was as simple as Schrodinger's cat. Once Schrodinger's box is open, and if the cat is dead, the cat remains dead. In the Brexit example, we can close the box up, and still not know if the cat will be alive or dead on opening it

The British do this to themselves.

They EU are asking for early notification and it's for transparency reasons.

And it's not a special British clause.

Yes, it could result in the EU stepping, but that would be a very big thing, and it hasn't happened yet.

If it happens, we can all get upset about it.
