That's most unfair asking actual questions and pointing out inaccuracies with what Johnson has just said about the deal :wink:

For the first time since 1973, the UK will be an independent coastal state with full control of its waters, he says.

The UK’s share of fish in its waters will rise substantially, he says, from roughly half today to closer to two-thirds in 5.5 years time.

Ah - but what about our share of fish in EU waters? How much will that fall by? And what will the actual levels be for both these factors (ie: will we have more or less fish??)

Are we still covered by that EU healthcare card, are our drivers licences still valid in Europe, are pet passports still available?

Come on these are the important questions to the average person.

No, not everywhere, sort of. All on gov.uk, and don't think these were part of the deal anyway (ie: it was already agreed).

No/ don't know/ looks like the arrangements have changed.

Brilliant news. We get to eat our cake, & no tariffs.

Boris has booked himself another election victory.

That's a bit like declaring what your Christmas present is going to be before you open it. Have you read the agreement ?

I'd hang on a little longer. I ain't expressing any pleasure until the VAR check is over...

Both parties have committed to ensuring a robust level playing field by maintaining high levels of protection in areas such as environmental protection, the fight against climate change and carbon pricing, social and labour rights, tax transparency and State aid, with effective, domestic enforcement, a binding dispute settlement mechanism and the possibility for both parties to take remedial measures.

Could be interesting...

Congratulations on being the first person in the country to have read and understand all 500 pages of the deal, most have just listened to Johnson so far, his track record on misleading people and having no attention to detail is legendary.
You are a total bell end.
