When the negotiations start there will be plenty to fill its own thread without destroying the other political type threads and harking back to debates in the in/out thread and the GE thread. So far both sides have started with bluster and strong stances and seems like rigid positions. This is all bollocks and will there will be plenty of compromise to come....Unless the EU want to destroy us.... Remember the EU is fighting on four fronts: Ukraine, Greece, Hungary AND UK. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-eu-hungary-idUSKBN17S1DZ The document voted through by the European parliament confirms: Britain will leave the EU on 30 March 2019 00.00 Brussels time, unless the EU27 agrees unanimously to extend talks. The status of EU citizens (3.5 million EU citizens in the UK and 1.2 million Britons on the continent) is the EU’s top priority. The Brexit agreement must ensure “effective, enforceable, non-discriminatory and comprehensive guarantees” for those people and their families. There is no mention of the €100bn Brexit bill (or any other number). Instead, the EU states that Britain will have to agree on a “single financial settlement” covering the EU budget and British contributions to the European Investment Bank and other common funds. The EU’s hope of avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland, while “respecting the EU’s legal order”, meaning customs checks will have to be in place, if the UK leaves the customs union. The EU wants to ensure that any future British government can be held to account if it fails to uphold the Brexit agreement: it proposes “an institutional structure to ensure an effective enforcement of the commitments” and refers to the importance of the European court of justice. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/22/ready-for-brexit-talks-says-eu-chief-negotiator-michel-barnier
