Brexit Thread 3 - Project Reality

[Squinty]

I wonder how long it's been since there was a pro- or positive Brexit opinion posted in this thread.

I did not so long ago. NI is doing really well out of this and has been nicking business from England.

The thing is still a strawberry floating mess overall.

Joe Biden has played down the chances of a post-Brexit free trade deal between the US and UK, as he held talks with Boris Johnson at the White House.

The US president said he would discuss the issue "a little bit" with the UK prime minister, adding: "We're going to have to work that through."

Downing Street said a direct deal with the US remained the "priority".

But UK ministers are pondering joining an existing North American trade pact instead, the BBC understands.

Mr Johnson, echoing Mr Biden, downplayed chances of securing agreement with the US before the next general election, saying: "The Americans do negotiate very hard."

Environment Secretary George Eustice told Sky News: "We still very much hope to be able to put together an agreement with the United States. We are not putting timescales on it."

"It's just not a priority for the US administration," he added.

Don't some US states have restrictions on bringing in fresh fruit and veg from other states?

Since Mr Eustice's interview, government sources have told Sky News that Number 10's position is that the EU is wrong about the protocol, not the US.

A source said: "What he meant to say is that we agree with the US that nothing must undermine the Belfast Agreement.
