Perfect timing.

So all cash we saved from pulling out we're going to have hand over anyway as a bribe for preferential trading terms.

Isn't that what the remainers has said all along, that to have access the single market, we'd still have to pay the EU? Except only now the UK no longer has a position to negotiate the terms of the single market policies. We reap what we sow.

Doubt it. Doubt it VERY much.

You arte still listening to the whining of the remainers. What politicians threaten will disappear overnight whren big business comes in.
Do you honestly think that BMW, VAG, Bosch etc will ALLOW the Germans/EU to give us anything other than a decent deal to SELL US THEIR PRODUCTS. Stop being naive.

So what's Eire going to do when its citizens nip into NI for their weekly shop and save 15 -20% off their bill?


Exit - the most stupid thing our thick fellow citizens have done for many a year. Xenophobic Daily Mail readers with about as much vision as a bunch of short sighted moles. Idiotic.

Yet again a Brexiter over valuing the UK market In 2015 the UK made up 10% of BMWs worldwide sales, not the end of the world.

AFAIK, the UK is the second largest market for BMW and VAG cars after the USA? Unless you can prove different?

And even 10% of their sales at top-wack prices is a BIG hole in their budget.

4th biggest market with 10%

if you think that BMW et al can fundamentally change the deal we get then

i.e. membership of the EEA without the associated free movement then you are delusional

but we only have a couple of years to wait - so we shall see

LOL more vitriol.

Just take your bats home boys, why don't you?

It's DONE. You lost, get over it. Do you imagine that the leave voters would still have been whining and crying if they had lost?

Yet more delusion

Forage was on record in the run up saying,if he lost by 2 points the fight would go on

He is on record on polling night, when he thought he had narrowly lost, that it would need re run

The leavers where still fvcking whining 35years after they lost in 1975

I don't see any remainers whining - just pointing out your absurd arguments and the fact that brexit is was and will be a shambles

Just listened to SNP's Nicola Sturgeon's speech. I thought it was very good. She even referred The Tory party as UKIP in short.

I think Sturgeon is an idiot, to have independence whatever the cost!. She must realise that the UK market is 4 time greater for Scotland that it is for the EU single market. How is separating from the UK in Scotland's best interest? If Scotland get independence, Scotland will not automatically remain in the EU and has no currency of its own, it will have to ensure it meets all the criteria for joining and get in line at the back of the queue. I think May should call her bluff and let her call this independence. She calls the UK xenophobic when she herself is very anti-English. Obviously she doesn't get irony.
