My Desk Says;

"This is going to be jargon-tastic."

Of the 2,000 page contract. We are being expected to sign within 72 hours. 48 of which will be wasted on Christmas.

The area I will be looking at is the so-called; "Level Playing Field."

Anything which does not see EU institutions and EU law. Retain full jurisdiction over the EU's interal market.

Would represent a spectacular failure of statecraft. On a scale possibly not seen since the collapse of the League of Nations.

It would display either a complete failure to understand how international trade works. Or a complete disregard for the rights and interests of  EU citizens.

So is not something any EU institution or member state could ever even contemplate signing up to. No matter how they try and rationalise it to themselves.

And if you disagree.

I suggest you pop your cotton bedsheets in the washing machine.

Then come speak to me in January.

After all.

China deserve a standing ovation for that one.

Not that there aren't heavily indebted, third world nations laughing their heads off at this point.
