Put simply it appears that we're back where we started, only now lacking the ability to influence decisions made by the EU whilst being governed by and beholden to that bloc. It would have been better just to abandon the whole devisive farce, putting it down to bad dream.

The sooner that silly mare is gone the better for all of us.
A few laughs I imagine.
//The prime minister said her agreement promises a "brighter future" for the UK and leaving the EU next year will be "a moment of renewal and reconciliation for our whole country"//

The electorate is stupid. Most especially the vote Leave half of it.

Nonetheless, Leavers will spot that the May "deal" keeps us in the EU regulatory system, subject to its law (ECJ) and paying tribute, and the Remainers, who like all these things, may spot that the "deal" has kept these things but relinquished our representation in all of the EU's institutions.
What's not to loathe?
Why is that wretched woman still here? Is there no Brutus or Cassius in the cabinet to arrange a swift dispatch?
If there were a referendum "May deal" or "Stay in the EU" you'd vote stay, wouldn't you? Because there's the possibility in the future to get out of the EU, whereas the May "deal" has even forfeited that.

Mind you, the Brexit panic will have concentrated minds. They will be plotting amendments to the EU constitution around Article 50 which will make withdrawal impossible.
At least she has achieved something.The title of worst PM in history
That title used to belong to Ted Heath, but you may be right.

VE: "The electorate is stupid. Most especially the vote Leave half of it. " - so people who don't agree with you are stupid then! Right oh standard VB tripe.
Not stupid as such, Tora, they just give that impression through bluster and pomposity.
If only, Jackdaw. Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous.

Well, Boris ain't lean and hungry, is he?

I cannot understand how any Leaver is still in her cabinet. But why would a Remainer be in it? May's Brexit is being in the EU in perpetuity, but without represenatation. why would slime-balls like Hammond assent to that "deal" and cheer it in the House?

....pomposity? PMSL that's remoaner territory!
Don't you mean VE tripe?
Wait, since when were you a Remainer, Vetuste?
Latest news, the EU have unanimously approved the deal
Please excuse my ignorance, but who exactly is going to read this letter? Is it being read out on the news - is it being printed in newspapers - is it being put out on the internet or is a copy being posted to every household? Just can't grasp this so maybe someone can put me right?
Maggie, it's in the papers.
AB members can read it too, verbatim, in a minute: may as well copy-and-paste it.

I think you misunderstand my post, TTT. Or I misunderstand yours.



// When I became your prime minister, the United Kingdom had just voted to leave the European Union. From my first day in the job, I knew I had a clear mission before me — a duty to fulfil on your behalf: to honour the result of the referendum and secure a brighter future for our country by negotiating a good Brexit deal with the EU. Throughout the long and complex negotiations that have taken place over the past year and a half, I have never lost sight of that duty.

Today, I am in Brussels with the firm intention of agreeing a Brexit deal with the leaders of the other 27 EU nations. It will be a deal that is in our national interest — one that works for our whole country and all of our people, whether you voted “leave” or “remain”.

It will honour the result of the referendum. We will take back control of our borders, by putting an end to the free movement of people once and for all. Instead of an immigration system based on where a person comes from, we will build one based on the skills and talents a person has to offer. We will take back control of our money, by putting an end to vast annual payments to the EU. Instead, we will be able to spend British taxpayers’ money on our own priorities, such as the extra £394m per week that we are investing in our long-term plan for the NHS. And we will take back control of our laws, by ending the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in the UK. In future, our laws will be made, interpreted and enforced by our own courts and legislatures.

We will be out of EU programmes that do not work in our interests: out of the common agricultural policy, which has failed our farmers, and out of the common fisheries policy, which has failed our coastal communities. Instead, we will be able to design a system of agricultural support that works for us and we will be an independent coastal state once again, with full control over our waters.

The deal also protects the things we value. EU citizens who have built their lives in the United Kingdom will have their rights protected, as will UK citizens living elsewhere in the EU. A free trade area will allow goods to flow easily across our borders, protecting the many skilled jobs right across the country that rely on integrated supply chains. Because our European friends will always be our allies in the fight against terrorism and organised crime, the deal will ensure that security co-operation will continue, so we can keep our people safe.

As prime minister of the United Kingdom, I have from day one been determined to deliver a Brexit deal that works for every part of our country — for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, for our overseas territories such as Gibraltar, and also for the crown dependencies. This deal will do that. Crucially, it will protect the integrity of our United Kingdom and ensure that there will be no hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland — so people can live their lives as they do now.

It is a deal for a brighter future, which enables us to seize the opportunities that lie ahead. Outside the EU, we will be able to sign new trade deals with other countries and open up new markets in the fastest-growing economies around the world. With Brexit settled, we will be able to focus our energies on the many other important issues facing us here at home: keeping our economy strong, and making sure every community shares in prosperity; securing our NHS for the future, giving every child a great start in life, and building the homes that families need; tackling the burning injustices that hold too many people back; and building a country for the future that truly works for everyone.
