Seems like there is a new agreement between the EU and UK about trade and other issues. Seems like the economy on both sides will benefit from the agreement. A lot of Brexit red tape could be removed on the basis of this agreement.

I mean, it's ok. We extended the EU's fishing fleet's access to UK waters for until 2038 in exchange for less checks at the border when exporting food to the EU. A fair quid pro-quo but pretty much everything else is subject to further negotiation. A positive step but I wouldn't get too excited yet.
Indeed. What I don't understand is the furore about fishing again. First of all it's not really a change on the current situation, but the wider deal potentially gives British fishers access to the EU market again.Quote:

For the same reason they treated various free movement issues as insurmountable stumbling blocks until they suddenly weren't -- Labour leadership is totally committed to loser shit bc of a fixation with pleasing daddy McSweeney the Reform Voter Whisperer.
