Boris Johnson says he is ready to negotiate Canada-style Free Trade Agreement with the EU

Boris Johnson has said he is ready to negotiate a Canada-style Free Trade Agreement with the European Union.

The Prime Minister met Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, in Downing Street on Wednesday, and said Britain is ready to start negotiations “as soon as possible" after Jan 31.

It came hours after Ms von der Leyen warned it would be “basically impossible” to negotiate as close a relationship by the end of the year and that the two sides “will have to prioritise” objectives.

In a speech at the London School of Economics morning she said there are "tough talks ahead" and added: "The truth is that our partnership cannot and will not be the same as before. And it cannot and will not be as close as before - because with every choice comes a consequence....

Megs converted him to rastafarianism & they're fleeing to the USA to avoid a nasty accident. Bit like Mary Queen of Scots.

@Poikka

Agreed. :)

@mm2

Yes, they should have consulted the Queen and others in the Royal family. Lack of respect and should result in immediate funding being withdrawn and kicking them out of that lovely pad they have been given.

what is so remarkable is that all the"wimmin" feel they have a right to slag off the Donald...pointing out how well dodgy he is regarding his views and behaviour with persons of the opposite gender persuasion

but when blokes repeatedly point out how utterly dodgy the Megan was from day one...how she even LOOKS like Wallace Simpson....you have to go and live in the shed again.

They certainly aint liberated and by my reckoning,like the mullahs,wont be for at least 300 years.

NOT RATIONAL AND FAIR MINDED

Minnie, no doubt about who's wearing the trousers there.

[mr.elbee] 09/1/2020 08:39

I agree totally maxkk...how liberated are the media women? fawning over the goings on of an immature young man and a gold digger..
Who cares when planes are blowing up and mad mullahs are not applying health and safety rules in their grief parades?..

Why arent Corbyn and the beeb protesting about this conspicuous lack of H and S?

We should be told!

Joe say if I had a bit more time I'd actually start a party promoting Scottish independence for UK voters, I already thought of a name 'FOSCOTIA', good eh :). I dont think it would even require any donors, according to my numbers I could finance it solely on the revenue from the anti Scottish t shirt sales and underpants I've designed. ATB.

Willie Eckerslike 9 Jan 2020 8:10AMThe EU still don't understand that we don't want as close a relationship as before.If we did, we wouldn't be leaving.We are leaving precisely because we no longer want to be bound by EU rules and regulations.

Why has everyone forgotten the EU's £39 billion Divorce Bill demand?And why are we still going to sign the EU's open-ended invoice??© Brexit Facts4EU.Org 2020Brexit Facts4EU.Org reports on latest official estimates for more decades of subsidising the EUMost readers would say that sums in the order of £40 billion pounds are significant. At Brexit Facts4EU.Org we would tend to agree.As we have reported many times, the revised Withdrawal Agreement negotiated by the new Johnson Government made absolutely no changes to Mrs May's Withdrawal Agreement (WA), apart from the Northern Ireland Protocol (removing the 'Backstop'). This includes the so-called "Financial Settlement" to which Mrs May agreed.The proof is in the wording of the latest WA itself and has been confirmed in the latest House of Lords report ("Brexit: The Financial Settlement") as well as by the House of Commons Library report published on Monday of this week.BREXIT FACTS4EU.ORG SUMMARY"The updated Withdrawal Agreement published on 17 October 2019 made no changes to the terms of the financial settlement"- The House of Lords European Union Committee, 2nd Report of Session 2019–20"The terms of the financial settlement are the same in both the Withdrawal Agreement negotiated by Theresa May's Government and the latest version."- House of Commons Library, 06 Jan 2020Would you sign an open-ended invoice?As we have stated in previous articles, an essential element of this divorce bill demand from the EU is not only its very dubious basis (for a country which has effectively subsidised the rest of the EU for every decade of its membership) but also the fact that the eventual bill will be decided by the EU.Here is what the National Audit Office had to say"The precise value of most components of the settlement is subject to future events and therefore uncertain"

Utrees - let the whiners go - but without any funding ex England

In fact using bravehearts' arguments they should be paying us a divorce bill given their economic and scientific superiority

I'm voting SNP from now on

[jordaggy] 09/1/2020 07:28

Lloyds reacts because the mm's are making mugs of us. Level 3 should be removed; why should mm's have access to stop loss information!

I know as buffett said the market is a manic depressive and lloy acts negatively to just about everything but surely not to barmy Harry and his even barmier bit of stuff?!?!

Changing name doesn't change history...It's time.. toss your titles into the dung heap of history in which they belong. An ugly British class system.

[k38] 09/1/2020 01:27

Nasty very nasty, the more you search and learn the nastiest become. Marburg files....

I'm not a royalist but I do feel some sympathy for the Queen. Decades of faultless reign and then all of a sudden it is blotted by the bad eggs Andrew, Harry, Meg, Boris and Mogg.
