It’s a Christmas miracle!
The Erasmus thing is a real shame.
Details still not really clear right now but they’ve got the frictionless trade so...maybe he’s actually done a good job here? :o
Boris seemed to announce a replacement scheme but not limited to the EU but worldwide. Limited details but if thats the replacement then sticks to their message of worldwide rather than EU focus.
Although i didn’t realise that the UK seemed to contribute more financially to the Erasmus then other EU nations. Might explain why they are briefing this heavily as they need to ask other EU nations to pick up more of the bill.
A good job? Frictionless trade with the EU by following existing EU rules which we already did before Brexit, the difference being that we no longer have the right of veto over new rules. In what way is that a good job?
So 'sovereignty' means losing the right to decide on trade rules with the EU, with a penalty of tariffs if we don't play ball. (And the agreement is that if we don't go along with one rule, they can apply the tariffs to anything they like.)
