We wouldn't have had under a no deal.

Totally agree. Best news in months that we got an agreement

Covid vaccine working surely...

Maybe a re-balancing and move back to manufacturing, like to see the employment rights and secure employment on that scenario...lol

They've already said that's the aim really. Erode worker rights, low tax for businesses, people much worse off but the rich get richer.

Brexit was the working class turkeys voting for Christmas.

And their mitts on financial services in London.

I don't think that they can control them, but they can certainly affect the involvement of UK financial services iin EU countries.

One early result is that Barclays have cancelled bank and card accounts of their clients who live in EU countries and have no UK address.

I meant on the EU. Now hopefully they will concentrate fully on defeating this terrible virus

I am more than happy to be corrected, but I thought there was essentially "no deal" between the UK and the EU on financial services.

You will find most big the banks have set up small operations in EU countries. Remember the scare story about the City being decimated after everyone moved from London to the EU

A late entry in most hypocritical post of the year this.

I think you have probably won that one many times over.....

This answers quite a bit. But as always it could be good or it could be bad

Pretty sure you will find that every bank in the UK had offices in the EU anyrate. And vice versa. Thing is, some have started transferring assets over to them.

EU ultimately got what it wanted, which was to keep us close to their regulatory regime.

Ok, you win, the EU won and we are all screwed. Does this now make all the Remainers happy because I wish something would.......

Not sure what you are wowing about.
I'll.put it simply for you.
Getting a trade agreement with the EU was the best news this year to do with the EU.
The vaccine was the best news of the year. Now that the agreement is sorted they can fully concentrate on defeating this terrible illness
