A majority of the Cabinet now supports moving towards a Canada-style trade deal with the EU following the outright rejection of Theresa May’s Chequers plan, the Prime Minister will be told today.
Mrs May will be urged to rethink her approach to the Brexit negotiations by favouring a free trade agreement that would represent the “clean Brexit” that Leave supporters voted for.
Jeremy Hunt, the Foreign Secretary, has emerged as a key figure in the Brexiteers’ fight to convince Mrs May to change tack. A former Remain campaigner, Mr Hunt is now squarely in the Leave camp.
The EU has a relationship with Canada. The EU offered the same clean deal to the UK. May has vehemently rejected that offer because it would burden various manufacturing companies with import/export forms even if there are no tariffs.

Canada style just means good-goy.

>canada style That sounds like a bad time
Easton Gutierrez
Thanks EU. Your slapdown really knocked some sense into these plonkers.
Kevin Scott
No, Canada also has limited service provisions with the EU. The big difference to the Chequers proposal is there would have to be forms filled out for goods to cross from tge EU to the UK and back, which is added bureaucracy that costs billions... and it also changes rules of origins rules for UK products.

Give it a rest Iqbal
Angel Butler
Yeah, seems so. It is a solid trade basis. The NI border can be solved in various other ways with an NI-Ireland arrangement.
Robert Morgan
hasn't the Canada deal worked out badly for Canada though?
Christopher Baker
Will UK financial services need to move part of their opporations to another country for passporting under this deal?
Jack Johnson
Depends if you are a mercantile pro-trade person ir a Trumpist protectionist.
Christian Wright
I don't give a toss about trade. I'm just happy there won't be European Court of Justice rule and free movement of people.
Isaiah Ward
Why the fuck would you dig your heals in over that? How May is still around baffles me, in Australia she would have been knifed 3 times over by now.
Adrian Ortiz
lmfao wtf is canada style. more poo?
Nolan Smith
Yes, but not much. 90 percent what banks do is stuff in the back which isn’t 100 percent related to client contact, at least for investment banks.
The real impact will be on the manufacturing sector because supply chains will be impacted.
Parker Rivera
>Why the fuck would you dig your heals in over that?
Because it could cost 10 to 20bn in bureaucracy.... or more likely, it would change just in time supply chains which could make manufacturing in the UK somewhat less attractive over the mid and long run.
Xavier Lewis
It’s the EU-Canada FTA. It eliminates 98 percent of tariffs, provides investment security and some limited free trade in services. It is kind of a good deal for Europe and Canada to strengthen trade ties.
Juan James
20bn might sound like alot, but if someone ever did the numbers I think they'd find brexit uncertainty probably already cost more than that alone.
If the EU is offering Canada style arrangements and a true border between Northern and Heretic Ireland then I'd have signed that deal yesterday.
Carter Richardson
>If the EU is offering Canada style arrangements and a true border between Northern and Heretic Ireland then I'd have signed that deal yesterday.
The EU has been offering a Canada style agreement for two years. The Irish border question is trickier. Ireland and the UK dislike border structures, so somehow you need to make sure goods from the EU don’t reach the UK unchecked and vice versa. You can do this with tech / cameras / some random checkpoints.... or by just harmonising Northern Ireland with Ireland basically unifying the island. Obviously the UK does not like the latter approach...
Alexander Hernandez
I couldn't give a single fuck about Ireland, they are as suicidal as the londoners for fuck sake, fuck them, fuck the scottish too, they are all a bunch of suicidal wankers
Sebastian Ramirez
Your gov thinks differently
Samuel Bailey
Still want a hard brexit
Connor Jones
STOP STEALING OUR IDEAS
Zachary Adams
I know how to solve the Irish border ez.
Dig a massive fuck off canal along the border and it's a separate island now, you can thank me later.
Gabriel Johnson
Oh come on, the EU has or is negotiating FTAs with 70 countries globally, you don’t even want an FTA???
Maybe when Germany fires up those fucking ovens again, it's fucking cold here.
Blake Thomas
You want the tru truth and nothing but the truth? The Northern Irish are content with the current arrangement because they get gibmees from England, but still have Irish passports and can shop there and do business there and just drive everywhere on the island. It is as if all Canadians had American passports and there was no border there for anything.
Now, this situation must come to an end unless you hand Northern Ireland unprecedented autonomy to de facto stay in the EU on tariffs and regulations. That’s not going to happen. How this situation can be resolved is anyone’s guess, most here in Europe believe Ireland wants a referendum in Northern Ireland to unify the island formally... which is why they are so anal about the border.
Gavin Perez
Canada and the EU don’t have freedom of movement. Canadians cannot come to Germany unless they speak German and earn 50k at least.
Nathan Edwards
>Canada-style
Ayden Butler
Woah, is it time for her to gain glowy "I am growing stronger" eyes? Can she redeem herself from saying Britain First is hate speech and wearing burqas?
How exactly would it force freedom of movement? Besides, your Conservative Party is more than fine with importing non-European Africans and Asians, just like our neocons and neoliberals.
Jace Reyes
No she cannot, she is disgusting, she is responsible for why London is the way it is, her and Cameron and on the same level of treachery as Blair.
Adam Ward
>I tried througly to do the wrong thing but I was so unpopular and so inept that it became impossible >I am redeemed
Brandon Hernandez
A majority of the cabinet supported remain and still do.
Jack Clark
>Brits finally come to their fucking senses Nope
>Brexit wins >Remain camp has most representatives in politics >May appointed, was a remainer >May and EU decide to run a fear campaign filled with doom scenario's and whatiffs sold as inescapable facts of nodeal >May and EU agree to pretend nodeal and fearmonger about that >GOY AFTER ALL ITS NOT WORKING OUT WHY DONT YOU VOTE AGAIN >AND IF YOU STILL VOTE BREXIT WELL JUST KEEP VOTING UNTIL YOU DONT
Christopher White
Canada style: Putting on a sombrero or hindi dot to be more inclusive
Love how when Brexit first started EU claimed they wouldn't do this. I think somehow the UK scared the EU a bit.
Chase Powell
2 years was needed to re-adjust the background money laundering of the EU bankers. All helped with a shit uk chancelor and a fucking cunt of a BoE governor. Nothing at yet has not actually gone to plan. Just a standard pantomine for the sheep. All put together neetly by facked checked brain rape house.
Joshua Nguyen
I dont like justin trad
Brandon Nguyen
I don’t know. All I know is if wanting to rail Theresa may in the shitter is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
Chase Allen
Who doesn't. What the fuck does a Canadian-style Brexit even mean? The UK was never a colony... oh... wait a minute... I see now. So they won't be exiting at all, then.
Canada is poorly run, and did some really stupid shit which basically ruined their ability to maneuver. It is not clear you can trace all of their problems back to one trade deal.
Amusing how you can chart the fall of Canada starting at when Tommy Douglas became Premier of Saskatchewan.
Adrian Stewart
Canada has millions of tons of gold stored safely in its rockets and streams. Why dig it up and put it in a fault if it is safely stored right now where no thief can get to it?
