Gove and Johnson are perky and full of fake bonhomie and enthusiasm for the brilliant job May is doing.

On Euratom-related (nuclear specific) issues both Parties have agreed principles for addressing the key separation issues relating to the UK’s withdrawal from Euratom. This includes agreement that the UK will be responsible for international nuclear safeguards in the UK and is committed to a future regime that provides coverage and effectiveness equivalent to existing Euratom arrangements. Both sides have also agreed the principles of ownership for special fissile material (save for material held in the UK by EU27 entities) and responsibility for spent fuel and radioactive waste

I think the first law the EU parliament should pass after the the UK leaves the EU (while leaving but staying in the customs union) is to regulate the shape of bananas. Also, chocolate with low levels of cocoa should indeed be renamed "vegelate".Last edited by anton pulisov; 08-12-2017, 12:05.

Boris is still doing the taking back control bollocks when the official White Paper said we had sovereignty 14 months ago. And he still isn't being called on it.

Juncker:
“Today's result is, of course, a compromise. It is the result of a long and intense discussion between the Commission negotiators and those of the UK.
"As in any negotiation, both sides have to listen to each other, adjust their position and show a willingness to compromise. This was a difficult negotiation for the European Union as well as for the United Kingdom,” admitted the Commission President.

From the Guardian.
Meanwhile a Labour MP tells me: “Now is the moment for the Labour party to definitively say that we are for a soft Brexit and for staying in the customs union. Theresa May has conceded the principle of regulatory alignment - rather than spend months wasting time to say what we want- lets just say it now.”

"The deal secured by Ireland does not necessarily force the UK to stay in the customs union and single market. It just forces it to act as if it has stayed in - a distinction without a difference. Call it what you like - if it acts like a customs union, moves like a customs union and is fully aligned like a customs union, it is a customs union."

Is there any meaningful/informed analysis anywhere of what "which, now or in the future, support North-South cooperation, the all-island economy and the protection of the 1998 Agreement" actually means? What sort of thing wouldn't be covered?

This would be a good idea.
As I said many many pages back, something along these lines was what we were always, always going to get (something similar to what we have now, but at the expense of billions, lots of division and rhetoric, and a whole load of wasted parliamentary time). There's been too much worry and fright all round.

Apol, I thought it mentioned the Single Market as well- that hasn't been done. That ought to be done now.
Agree, logic of Labour's announcements has been close to it. But why not say it?

Actually this is good.

Eighteen months on from the referendum, @Theresa_May has scraped through phase one. Tory chaos and posturing has caused damaging delay and risked serious harm to our economy. We need a much stronger and more constructive approach in crucial phase two.
He could say "has harmed the economy".
