This is NY Times. Both sides had agreed during the negotiations to discuss financial services separately. The U.K. government said in a document published Thursday that the agreement includes provisions to support trade in services, including financial services and legal services. “This will provide many U.K. service suppliers with legal guarantees that they will not face barriers to trade when selling into the EU and will support the mobility of U.K. professionals who will continue to do business across the EU,” according to the document. The agreement includes what the U.K. government described as “groundbreaking provisions” on legal services which allow U.K. lawyers to advise clients across the EU on U.K. and public international law, except where EU members place specific limits on this. From Jan. 1, U.K.-based financial institutions lose automatic access to the EU’s single market. To serve customers in the EU next year, U.K.-based institutions will have to be granted equivalence rights, under which the EU allows them to conduct certain financial activities. Equivalence rights can be withdrawn at short notice. So far the EU has granted temporary equivalence rights to British clearinghouses, which operate between buyers and sellers in trades and pledge to complete the deal even if one side reneges. London has much of this financial plumbing, which manages trillions of dollars of derivatives contracts every day. The sides will continue discussing how to move forward on granting equivalence and pledged to codify a framework for regulatory cooperation.

Done “The NHS is to get an extra £384 million a week after Brexit, Prime Minister Theresa May has said. In a major announcement to mark the 70th anniversary of the health service, the PM has said it will receive an additional £20 billion a year in real terms funding by 2024. It is expected that taxes and borrowing will rise to pay for the increase in funding, and resources will be redirected from the more than £9 billion a year the UK currently pays into the EU. Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Mrs May said: “Now, as we leave the European Union and stop paying significant annual subscriptions to Brussels, we will have more money to spend on priorities such as the NHS. “But to give the NHS the funding it needs for the future, this Brexit dividend will not be enough.” Ahead of a major speech on the issue on Monday, Mrs May added: “As a country, we need to contribute a bit more in a fair and balanced way. We will listen to views about how we do this and the Chancellor will set out the detail in due course. To deliver, this plan must be about more than money. ” The figure tops the controversial £350 million a week increase promised by the Leave campaign during the referendum.”

“The deal is not perfect but it is a big moment. This victory is a tribute to the ordinary men and women who stood up against the Westminster establishment — and won. There is no going back.”

I think both remainers & leavers can come together & agree Peston is an arse. FFS get to the question man.

That’s exactly what happens. When it happens in this area they vaccinate NHS staff on duty with it. Still, gives people a chance to moan about the government again.

Well that was what Stuart Rose, the chair of the remain campaign, claimed. There’s a balancing act of sovereignty as opposed to economics and most leave voters felt it had gone too far. But you know who really was to blame for your loss, people like Major, Cameron, Brown, etc who played up euro scepticism to win votes. They blamed EU and said it needed reform, when they couldn’t reform it, the logical conclusion was to leave. Nigels position was coherent & consistent, theirs wasn’t. They never defended the principle of ever closer union, never defended FoM and never ever tried to change our minds. I mentioned earlier a German I met in a Portuguese bar. He gave a coherent argument for The EU, compared it to The UK, in his eyes a Pole in Germany was the equivalent of a sweaty in London. He gave a passionate defence of the EU the like of which British politicians hid from. That’s why we’re here, your side spent 40 years trying to pretend the EU was something it wasn’t, instead of trying to sell what it was to us.

That’s why you don’t get it, and exactly why your side lost.

The shop is woeful. I ordered 2 kits for nephews of mine, one Boscombe & one saints. Boscombe was no trouble, arrived in a few days, tracked and they kept me informed the whole way. Saints was completely different, received a confusing email stating it was on its way, but same email said “replica kits would be sent out later”. Tried to find out if it was coming, tracking order number didn’t work, as you say nobody answered phone, sent 2 emails and contact us form neither of which were replied to. It did actually turn up yesterday, but was a shambles from the start. Clearly we are busier than their shop, but there’s really no excuse for the appalling service.

Pony is this “kicking off?”

Nigel on Talkradio giving the thumbs up to the deal. Said Boris “has done what he said he’d do on the big picture”. History may judge some of the detail a bit more harshly, but we’re out. A new treaty that’s a bit closer to a partnership agreement. It’s not perfect, but it’s progress. If it’s good enough for Nigel, it’s good enough for every Brexit supporter.

I became euro sceptical after Maastricht, which in my opinion was the tipping point. That was the moment it became more than a trading block, this was further cemented by Lisbon. At first I thought our political class genuinely wanted to reform the bloc, but it became apparent that this was all for show and votes. Johnnie Major pretended to be euro sceptical to replace the great lady and Gordon Brown hid away rather than sign Lisbon with the others. These were just two examples of the deception, there are plenty more. So around 12 years ago I became a fully fledged leaver. Then, nobody questioned your motives, it was just a political view that was different from theirs. It was respected and any discussion was polite and about issues. I remember a time when I had a heated discussion with a German & a remainer in a Portuguese bar, but there was no insults or questioning of my intelligence. That all changed when we won the referendum, it was as if we could have those opinions, but only if they were losing opinions. Once we won, we were thick, racist & old.

They’ll be nothing to rejoin in 30 years. Its gone, over. You little Europeans just don’t realise yet. We were the first, but we won’t be the last.

Thank god you didn’t teach my children.

What that shit poster? It was about as funny as Steve Coogan.

Typical little European’s, can’t seem to understand that The EU & Europe are different things.....

We’re still in Europe.

What on earth are you on about? The voters decided who they wanted to represent them, the voters of Zac Goldsmiths constituency decided they didn’t want him to. Unfortunately for you, more constituencies decided they wanted Brexit than they wanted to remain. Hence, we left. That’s democracy for you. After we lost the first referendum, people like Nigel formed together, sacrificed a lot, argued their case and eventually persuaded the country round to their way of thinking. They didn’t just whinge about it on a football forum and insult everyone who voted the other way. They set about successfully changing the public minds. Be like Nigel......

Yep.

What’s that got to do with anything? You lost the binary vote 3 years prior. 2019 the British people decided which mps they wanted to represent them and the “moderate & intelligent “ ones got routed. They were sitting mps, people looked at their Brexit record and decided “no thanks”. The great thing about it was kicking the Remoaners out, was it helped Boris show how determined he was to Brexit. Despite the crying and moaning, putting the boot into them, helped deliver his majority. And to think they could have walked away with May’s BRINO, horrendous miscalculation and misunderstanding of the great British public.

What a load of old pony. The voters gave this Brexit a mandate, they wanted this. The “moderate & intelligent” that were thrown out of the party were purged by the electorate, not The ERG. At the last election there were plenty of remain options; Chucka & his band of “moderate & intelligent” sitting MPs, independent remain sitting mps like Gauke, Grievence etc, Sugar tits and her revoking Lib Dem’s, Corbyn with Sir Kiers second referendum policy, even Lucas and her loons. All remain. And what happened, the slaughter of remain.

Cry me a river. Should be easy for a rejoin party to form the next government then, bet they don’t.

Sky commentators who’ve spent weeks moaning about VAR, claiming the rules are confusing and armpits/toes/pubic hair shouldn’t be offside, now moaning when an offside goal is scored with no VAR at game.

No. The most amazing thing is people like you unable to get over it. Instead of constantly crying about be, be like Nigel and the other heroes who fought for years to change the public’s mind. Alternatively you could do fuck all about it except moan and insult people with different views.

Let me go home Why don't they let me go home This is the worst trip I've ever been on.

We never do. It’s only ever happened once in my lifetime.
