When 27 are 1 it's clearly the priority.
Could be but what ever the commissioners decide has to go before the 27 before it is accepted. I believe the UsA has been negotiating it's TTIP for several years.

We need to stop this madness before its too late. Deceit, lies and the tory elite playing games with our future. Quite sickening.
Actually yes parliament can in effect ignore the referendum result.
It would need a vote in the Commons and if the remain side won that, then legitimately, the government could say we stay.
There could and potentially would be total uproar, but that as I understand it could happen.
Now if it did, it begs the question whether Cameron would backtrack on his resignation?
What a mess !!
As an aside, I was thinking about TTIP today as that was a widely touted argument amongst the leave side. On the one hand, you have Britain as arguably the most pro-free market nation in the EU, so if anything it was the other EU countries that were holding back the whole process. Then you have the lengthy process of actually constructing such deals, and the urgency with which the UK will need to strike new deals when we move.
It seems likely therefore that we will attempt to strike our own version of TTIP as soon as possible, with the deal either practically identical to the existing one, or possibly even more in favour of the private sector.

Sadly doesn't work that way. It's a matter of time, resources and, significantly, red tape. As Obama correctly said, the priority will go on negotiating with 27 states instead of 1; Britain goes to the back of the queue, and any discussions on a trade deal won't even start until we leave two years after activating Article 50.
Even being 100% optimistic, you're looking at 6 to 8 years from now for a formal trade deal with the USA, probably longer, and more again for China. We'll be on WTO rules in the interim.
I'm seeing Juncker's cronies are trying to say the law says Britain must leave first. Then negotiations start. Negotiations can't start with an existing EU member until then.
Due to EU law.
This is a lie. It's purely positioning for leverage over UK. Lies from the Juncker federalists.
All EU law comes from the treaties. The treaties say no such thing.
The treaties are the law. Anything else is just the commission under Juncker trying to be difficult. To 'punish' the UK.
Merkel will see off Juncker. Mark my words.
