Brexit out of control

UK concessions and a transition of nearly two years which neither Leavers nor Remainers voted for illustrate the fiendish complexity of Britain quitting the EU.

Brexit was dishonestly presented as fast and easy in the referendum.

Following EU laws in the 21-month transition while losing the current ability to shape them is giving up control, not taking it back.

While the promised £350million a week for the NHS quite simply does not exist.

The Government risks alienating everybody and pleasing nobody with the deal, designed to stop trade crashing off a hard Brexit cliff.

The future of Northern Ireland is still a stumbling block and one of many important questions are awaiting a sensible answer.

The truth is, the EU has taken back control of negotiations. What Leavers now claim is success would have once been condemned by them as failure. Brexit is possible, but it isn’t simple and it is proving expensive.
