On the Beeb news they have reported that May's cabinet have decided that they are able to demand financial services are included in any trade deal because the EU needs a trade deal with the UK as much as the UK needs one with the EU. Way way back just after the referendum the remaining EU countries agreed that the integrity of the single market was more important than a trade deal with the UK and they clearly said the UK cannot enjoy the perks of the single market without obeying the rules of it. May and her cabinet were insisting for weeks and months they would not pay the divorce bill until crunch time came and May blinked because she had to. What on earth makes her and her cabinet believe the EU will comply with their ridiculous demands now. We are leaving the club therefore we don't get the perks of the club. The consequences of that are things the Government are just going to have to swallow and then go and plead with the US for some kind of deal no doubt selling off the NHS to the US healthcare firms in the process.
