There's lots of talk of a deal, but this deal is total shit and does nothing for 80% of the economy, services. Deal or no deal we're still leaving the customs union so supply chains are fucked, food on the shelves and just in time manufacturing etc.
I still think people hear deal and think that means nothings changing.
The fishermen are likely to be fucked what ever the outcome, deal and they don't get their quotas back (which they wouldn't be able to handle anyway) or no deal and they won't be able to sell anything into the EU without a 40% tariff. Its not like we eat any fish that hasn't been turned into fish and chips.
I think for the EU it's all about LPF, the fish thing will be traded away, but what is crucial for them is LPF with an enforcement mechanism. Without that enforcement mechanism, and the ratchet that ties our standards to theirs then (in the case of the EU) no-deal really is better than a bad deal as they can use the remedies available within the WTO to put tariffs on UK goods that are produced via lower environmental and labour standards.
