Quote:Here are some snippets from Mays open letter - sounds good to me - sounds like what I was expecting to receive when I voted leave.We already have control of our money. We vetoed the Euro. Meanwhile we need to pay 35 billion to begin to leave.
We will take back control of our money, by putting an end to vast annual payments to the EU.
Quote:In future, our laws will be made, interpreted and enforced by our own courts and legislatures.Every piece of EU legislation has been negotiated and approved by the UK. Never at any time during our membership have we lost sovereignty. But we will now. Under this deal we have to continue to comply with the customs unions rules whilst having to say whatsoever in any changes to them.
As far as I am aware May’s agreement allows us to leave the Common Agricultural Policy and the Common Fisheries Policy, but the reality is that negotiations to do so will only take place once May’s deal is in place. Remember this is an interim deal.
Quote: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.
Not whilst we are still on the customs union we won’t. You might get there by 2022 if you are lucky.
