The last stage of the EU negotiations
The PM’s critics say she does not know what she wants from the EU. Those who say this should read what she has written and spoken.
The following things are crystal clear in her statements:
The UK is leaving the EU on 29 March 2019
The UK is leaving the single market and the customs union – and this has been confirmed by two important votes in the Commons. She put Conservatives on a three line whip to vote down proposals to stay in the single market and customs union. It was also the clear statement of both campaigns in the referendum, and the position of the EU that you cannot stay in them without accepting all the other obligations of EU membership
The UK would like a comprehensive free trade agreement and trade partnership and is proposing no new barriers to our trade after we have left
She has also made clear – as she needs to do if we are to have a bargaining position – that no deal is better than a bad deal, and the UK will be ready to leave without a deal if necessary, though she strongly wants a deal.
I do not see how we can decide on a so called Transition period without knowing if there is something to transit to that both sides want. The March Council needs to be told we only accept transition if there is an Agreement and if it needs extra time to implement. The government should say to the EU we are offering no new barriers to trade – what barriers do they wish to impose on their trade with us? Were they to agree to no new barriers we could speedily translate that into a Free Trade Agreement and register it at the WTO.
I think the EU also needs to be told that the provisional generous agreement on money and other matters only comes into play if there is a comprehensive free trade deal which the Uk likes. As someone who does not want to pay the EU anything extra, I would need persuading that any Agreement was value for money for what is an ex gratia payment.

Sorry but no,
May is not responsible for the 29th of March leave date in 2019, that was the will of Parliament after a commons vote in 2015 post referendum, one they had to fight for in the high court to get.
That 3 line whip, it is the first I have heard of it, which votes in particular since we will be able to check the MP’s against their remain credentials and the commons votes, which in fact is the same act in three readings by the way. I know for a fact my MP for Eddisbury Antoinnette Sandbatch has consistently voted remain. Some whip.
It is not the UK which desires the free trade agreement, 3-5% of a customs duty is a piffle to £10 billion or less of trade with the EU, they import £50 billion or more, all of which we can get elsewhere. You could reimburse the duty tarrif out with one in as duty balancing and still profit.
May has made clear we have no bargaining position, she had to bung the EU 19Billion of monies we did not have to pay along with allowing free and pernament residence to all EU nationals here. the Principal of equivalence applies, less than 500,000 former, and I do mean former British live in the EU, they are tax exiles and Europhiles and most now have taken up their EU states nationality of choice. In which case we just ask the EU citizens here who desire to be British to do the same and Become British, not Polish/British but British like their WW2 veterans who remained or go, if they are not willing to be friends and citizens there is no reason for them to remain. Take the oath. To be held hostage by Conservative ex pat remain voters who are clearly never coming back is rediculous. They want Europes lifestyle to be European but to be bankrolled by the rest of the population in thier lifestyle choice forever, you take your own risks when you go abroad out of UK.
Transition is a Remain concept and not what was voted for, and most of what May negotiated was not what Parliament voted for either, Remember that Lancaster House treay 2010, that mutal defense agreement which Cameron signed off with France, and never got into the 2009 or 2010 Queens Speech’s and decided to disrupt Parliament until 2012 to hide the simple fact that it was an bilateral agreement since Parliament never recieved the paper to vote on it only knowing one was being negotiated on the very day by a question to Knox the defense secretary, well Parliament have not voted on Mays agreement with the EU to pay it for negotiations either, its a treaty, a comfirmation law to pariliments soverignty was ongoing in 2010 and passed in 2012 constitutional reform and governance act 2010, gusss what, it gives a deadline for the house to be allowed to vote on a treaty which has been missed, and there would have been apriori legislation in commons law not only that there has been a high court judgement in Parliaments favour, you cannot as an executive sign off lawful agreements/treaties without Parliaments consent.
