basically the UK has gained nothing, just stressed out its people for over 4 years and froze its own policy and decision making while all of this was going on. just so one political party could win the elections over this last time around. what else is new lol

at least in the end both the UK and the EU still have access to each other's market, so few(er) jobs will get lost than with the dreaded no deal exit

of course Boris Johnson is selling this as a victory. He had to give in to the EU on about 9 out of 10 points though. the EU doesn't want a local version of Singapore to deal with

Oh yeah here the Gov is selling this as a victory but many in the UK do not realise how much we have actually lost. The entire Brexit campaign was built on a lie and now they have to deal with the consequences. People are poorer and have less rights thanks to their ignorance and their worshipping of selfish populists.
