In an interview with Manfred Weber, leader of the largest party group in the EU parliament (HERE), it is clear that the parliament is going to be a stumbling block in the negotiations. His thinking is the same as mine. He says we want a free trade deal which is more or less than same as tariff free access to the single market, something he says will not happen. We want to continue with the cooperation on university research and security. We also want to remain in the medicines agency (HERE).
He says he listens to all this and is amazed we are telling ourselves that Brexit means Brexit! And then ominously, he says parliament will be a very difficult partner in the negotiations.
