• Interesting to see the UKCA has been postponed by Grant Shapps/Michael Green/etc, for the 3rd time. This time for 2 years. it was a nuts idea that was just going to cost business lots of money for zero benefit.

    It'll be dead after the next election and is just another step on the road back to standards alinement and re joining the single market, customs union etc.

    My long terms prediction is we'll have two terms of Labour moving us closer and closer to the EU, perhaps "a" customs union in the second term and the Tories returning 2035 ish to take us back into the single market.

  • But retention of the sunlit uplands will be the victory we will celebrate for the next century!

  • At less favourable terms, no rebate, no sterling, no Parthanon marbles, no blue passports.

    ultimately yes for sure, and all good things too. but those things will come with full rejoining and not needed just for singlemarket access.
