The tide is turning 10:39 - Jan 16 with 2641 views | GlasgowBlue | Days after Carney forecasts that he will upgrade the UK' growth forecasts for this year and that Brexit will hit the EU harder financially than it does the UK, we have the EU negotiator taking about a 'special' deal over access to City post-Brexit https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jan/13/eu-negotiator-wants-special-dea And we will have a free trade deal with the US signed as soon as we leave the EU. | |

Of course there will be a deal over London, there was always going to be, the question especially if we do left the single market is what will be left | |

Reports say that the Trump team is already working on the outlines of a US / UK trade deal and they want the deal to be pencilled in before the UK leaves the EU, even though the UK cannot formally sign it until it has left. It's good to see positive noises coming from both American and the EU. For all their bluster, the EU knows that the UK is their single largest export market once we have left and that the city of London is vital for economic stability in the continent. I note already that the naysayers on here are finding something negative to read into these developments. It's as if they have a fear of the outside world and want to live in their comfortable bubble. | |

You see being upbeat and positive about the future of this country as "triumphalism"? I make no apologies for being a glass half full man. | |

Not the word I'd use J2. Still, we all hope we get a great deal that gives us tariff free access to the single market, allows us to continue to travel and work easily throughout Europe, ensures our much needed immigration continues whilst spending the £350m a week we save on improving our NHS / other public services. Deliver all that, and I'll happy doff my cap to you all. [Post edited 16 Jan 2017 10:54]

So you want to place a wager on the timing of a UK/US trade deal? Charity bet of course. | |

I'll have a cheeky tenner with you that it is signed within six months of us exiting the EU. Choose your charity. Mine is Refugee Action. | |

Let's see what the PM says tomorrow. If she says anything that really clarifies matters I will be pleasantly surprised. I will be even more pleasantly surprised if what she does say is warmly welcomed by other EU leaders. | | | |

Let's hope so! I can't see them being able to sell any kind of sensible immigration deal to their own right wing, though. I say right wing advisedly, as I know that there are many Brexiteers who know full well that we are in big trouble without pretty much unrestricted free movement. The minute bureaucracy is put in the way, the whole dynamic changes, as anyone who has tried to bring in non-EU immigrants on the Tier 2 skilled worker visa will know. [Post edited 16 Jan 2017 11:25]

whatever she says has to be read as part of a negotiation. | |
