Without the DUP the Tories don't have a majority and if they officially signed off then May would have no choice but to call an election. Again.

Sure, the EU is known as an institute of compromise and the last minute deal but in this instance they are negotiating with an entity deeply divided and absent of clear objectives and purpose. The UK situation at present is impossible to predict and a deal is dependent upon them reaching alignment on an option realistic and workable for the EU. So, in short, who knows?

Its simple, says this guy, to simply get a product from Australia instead of EU. Of course he says nothing about the time delays, the probable need for larger shipments to make it economical, the issues with perishable goods on long transit, insurance, banking, relationship building, stock outs and how to replenish them. As has been pointed out, if stock runs low, for whatever reason, it is fairly quick to get more stock from the EU. Need an extra 10 barrels from Australia?

German manufacturer Schaeffler has said Brexit is a factor in its decision to close two UK plants, with 500 jobs expected to be lost. The company, which employs just over 1,000 staff in the country, said uncertainty over the terms of the UK's future relationship with the EU had helped shape a review of its global interests.

Its a step up from the original EU arrangement of "mutual recognition" to the more advanced system needed for the SM. There are some in the UK still hoping that "mutual recognition" can be revived for them. Some chance of that. The UK won't suddenly become some 3rd world country without sensible safety standards..Also whose job is it to think up this kind of stuff about the coffee maker-who ever it is must pinch themselves every morning when they wake up and say"am I really getting paid for this!".

You think there's a person or room of people just simply making standards up?
