Read the press release rather then you might understand exactly the points he was making.

That's exactly how I feel. I find shouting at the TV whenever he is talking is the only source of comfort

In exchange for taking a share of the immigrants in the EU. Brilliant!

That's incorrect. You're conflating two separate matters.
There's a couple of quick wins here - an agreement on the recognition of professional qualifications and striking a veterinary agreement with the EU to reduce costly and onerous border checks. Doubtless more too.

Proof?, rather then reading the front pages of your favourite newspapers or grifting politicians.

Re: Britain outside the EU
So if you think that more leftist parties are going to be less relevant will we go back to Tories and Whigs? (Conservative and Liberal)

Re: Britain outside the EU
Just commenting that if Labour have lost out because of whatever the Tories need some competition. After all Conservative and Liberal are natural competition and were before Labour came along. But yes further discussion doesn't fit here too well except Liberals tend to be the pro-EU and the Tories less so.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Will be interesting to see if this gets much media coverage.
Quote:
The UK has been fined €32mn by the EU’s top court for allowing pleasure boats to use lower-tax red diesel in a case that lawyers say sets a precedent for future disputes.
The European Court of Justice imposed a higher penalty than expected in a warning to the country that while it has left the bloc it is bound by some of its rules because Northern Ireland remains in the single market.
It based the fine on the size of the UK economy rather than just the Northern Irish one.

The government won't challenge this - it took three years to implement a law in Northern Ireland through its own incompetence.
Quote:
The Luxembourg-based court also said it levied a higher fine because London took so long to comply with a judgment dating from 2018.
Under EU law only commercial boats are allowed to use lower taxed fuel, but by dying all marine fuel red it was impossible to distinguish if pleasure craft were paying the full rate, it said.
The UK did not change the law governing marine fuel in Northern Ireland to comply with the EU rules until October 2021.
The court said the UK should be charged a similar fee to that paid by a member state breaching the law.
