Edit - and Second like REMAIN, Labour & Yes......
One of the lasting images of election night this year was George Osborne in the ITV studios. As the exit poll was announced, his face first turned to shock and then to undisguised pleasure as he pronounced Theresa May a “dead woman walking”. The longer the night went on, the more jubilant he became. By the time the last few results came in, the former chancellor and now editor of the Evening Standard – among half a dozen other well-paid jobs – was all but standing on the table in the studio shouting “loser, loser” at the prime minister’s tear-stained face on the TV monitor.
The smile has barely left his face since. George is a man hell-bent on squeezing every bit of enjoyment out of his revenge. Scarcely a day goes by in the pages of his newspaper without him putting the boot into the woman who sacked him.

May hasn't got everything she wanted, but the EU has compromised as well.
Bit like every negotiation really.
CJEU - 8 years.....

Starmer has always talked about A customs union not THE Customs Union. I wonder if the same stunt has been pulled? May can claim success in leaving the original SM and CU by creating a new one that's identical to the old ones
the last year of ramping and shouting has just been a waste of time
now we head in to the next year of ramping and shouting which will also be a waste of time

The United Kingdom also recalls its commitment to preserving the integrity of its internal market and Northern Ireland's place within it, as the United Kingdom leaves the European Union's Internal Market and Customs Union.
PB could learn from it
My only concern, how does she get approval of the 8 year CJEU role from the likes of JRM and the other Leadbangers?

It was the quote button for heaven's sake
it;s either a clever wheeze to force the lazy buggers back to work ot theyve recognised they can string this out for years
This Part of the Agreement establishes rights for citizens following on from those established in Union law during the UK’s membership of the European Union; the CJEU is the ultimate arbiter of the interpretation of Union law. In the context of the application or interpretation of those rights, UK courts shall therefore have due regard to relevant decisions of the CJEU after the specified date4. The Agreement should also establish a mechanism enabling UK courts or tribunals to decide, having had due regard to whether relevant case-law exists, to ask the CJEU questions of interpretation of those rights where they consider that a CJEU ruling on the question is necessary for the UK court or tribunal to be able to give judgment in a case before it. This mechanism should be available for UK courts or tribunals for litigation brought within 8 years from the date of application of the citizens' rights Part.
Schrodinger's Fudge at that.

So initially a soft Brexit, but the endgame looks like a complete split to me in the long term.
I can wait 8 years for that.
So we are "leaving". Not formally a member. But maintaining "full alignment with the rules" of the Single Market and Customs Union. Rules like no external trade deals. Rules like free movement.
Once the EUphoria (see what I did there...) dies away, expect a choice of two options.
1. The nutters point to the fact that we aren't leaving anything in practice, have bent over on every red line and have achieved nothing and say "this is bollocks". May can't carry the deal in her own party and is replaced by Moggmentum
2. Everyone rallies round to insist that black really is white and that by not ending free movement we have ended free movement. Until in 2022 the voters turn around and say "this is bollocks" and once again vote for a 3rd time lucky Farage led UKIP in their millions
Ask yourself this - is Boris-of-the-two-Essays disappointed about this deal? I'd say far from it....
Bye, bye chlorinated chicken!
The Batman director likely to recast Ben Affleck, but it may not be the end for Batfleck

We're all leavers now.
Etc etc.
Well done Mrs May.
The UK courts have not asked the ECJ for help very often, compared with other member states
Negotiators are still locked in a stalemate over the role of the ECJ in enforcing citizens’ rights after Brexit. One point of clash is what the withdrawal agreement, the future partnership agreement and UK law should say about how the UK courts are to regard post-Brexit ECJ case law. Another is whether the UK Supreme Court should be obliged to refer questions of EU law on citizens’ rights to the ECJ after Brexit, as it is now.
Negotiators on both sides should be aware that the UK courts have not made references to the ECJ particularly often in recent years. The number of references from UK courts is average compared with other member states’. Around two references a year concern citizens’ rights.

Jeez...just stop. Enough. Radical idea: go get some new ideas, Hollywood.
If automobile production was left to these guys, we'd have the 18-wheel family hatchback. Because someone thought it was a cool idea....
If head-banging Brexiteers accept 8 years or more of ECJ jurisdiction, they will accept "gradual" Brexit taken over 15 years.
Everyone wins except JRM and co. Who the **** cares about them ?
We haven't ended free movement.
youve been posting about them for most of the last year
Oh good - quote button working again!
Looks like Single Market and Customs Union without being in the Single Market and Customs Union .

The EU have got less than was publicly asked for (which may not be what they wanted).
They are willing to accept what they have got (which may not be what they wanted).
The same goes for the EU.
It's as appealling as having Brexit on repeat play, every few years....
The red-line that would have REALLY got him fired up is if May had insisted we weren't going to honour EU pensions...
I hope she is rewarded in the polls.

Also, specially for WilliamGlenn, how does staying in the EU work from here? Grin.
If May gets blamed it will be because she didn't fight hard enough/made too many compromises - not because it was too painful.
Her worry has to be, as it always has been, the Brexiteer flank.
You think "I want an end to free movement" voters are going to reward her for utter capitulation and not ending free movement?
I've actually read the agreement and I'm surprised at how reasonable and practical it is. The EU has also compromised in a number of areas.
So much bollocks is talked on here.
