We knew it would be. Someone somewhere, basically the Scots, is getting screwed over.
Yeah but the fun bit is finding out how they will try to tell us it's not.
Thank christ - no deal would have been an utter disaster. Would rather we'd stayed in the EU, but this is better than no deal at the very least.
Cant find the tweet now but I think someone from the WSJ said its the first trade deal in history which makes things harder, not easier.
Sounds about right for the past 4 years.

EU speech is heavy on the bitter regret tinged with relief that this process has ended
Expecting it to be a deep contrast from Downing Street

Will wait to see the detail but thank god there is some sort of deal for both the UK and EU.
The pound is loving life at the mo, nice Christmas present along with the snow today for such a SHITE year.

Now to watch the brexit idiots meltdowns as they realise that all they got out of this shitshow was to lose the only power they actually held to change eu rules and laws and now have to jump through more hoops to go on holiday to Spain etc every year......can't wait to see how badly the EU owned the UK in this, need to know how dumb the tories were for thinking they could steamroll every other member of the EU on the belief that everyone wanted to buy our jam....
And I expect fuckface farage will be on the BBC non stop from tonight complaining how bad the deal is despite him not once having a solid suggestion for a deal or how to effectly get one from the moment his stupid leave idea became mainstream thanks to the stupid media here.

Any deal is going to be worse than the one we already had...... having said that I'm relieved. This year has taken it's toll on my mental and physical health, I don't think I could have coped with no deal Brexit too.
Usual distrust of the Tories and BoJo aside, I'm reeeeeal interested in the particulars of this deal, and how much the UK capitulated on.
Stuff relating to the Financial sector is especially interesting, given that its:
1. A massive employer and source of the UK's revenue.
2. The sector I currently work in.
Of course, banks don't make as good reading as fishing boats and car manufacturers, so I suspect I'll have to go hunting for the info.

They lose out, that's the only benefit of this.
This is good news but it's all relative, the cost of the last 4 years has been immense and we are yet to be shown a single material benefit of leaving the EU. It's only good news relative to avoiding a no deal exit. Of course, over the coming days we will see the compromises in the deal that ultimately benefit nobody when compared to the current status.
In essence, it's the worst diplomatic deal in modern history given that it's a downgrade all around.
I assume this means customs? So they'll still be subject to EU rules but with no say in them. How can that even be considered a win to them?
So we are going to get an extra 350 million a week and a further increase in racism and xenophobia. Great news.
The UK: "We have gotten all we set out to achieve, no red lines crossed, sovereignty regained, rule Britannia."
The EU: "Best deal for everyone, this is a sad day, we work better together than apart."
You can already tell that the UK got rail roaded.

Yep its been awfully quiet, and what it seems like the EU care more about...than fish.
Ahaha all questions about the UK actually respecting the deal...
the UK wouldn't have signed the deal if they had to match EU regulations exactly. There'll be a dispute mechanism built into the deal that can introduce tariffs or barriers if either side is seen to diverge too far
It'll be worse than every deal conceived before it and the shitrags will still do a victory lap
Yeah that bugged me, I don't understand why the UK Govt would actively decide not to take part in that.
Northern Ireland is basically still in the EU... so a boatload of paperwork for any English / Welsh / Scottish company trading with NI.
That's been ""solved"" for quite some time: NI is for all practical purposes still in the EU, and has a border with rUK.
So the UK finally agreed to the things they refused to agree to for the past 2 years...
Was this charade really necessary?

Of course, there was never going to be a good deal for the UK.
Isnt this a good thing though? Who wants inferior EU Universities when you can have oxford and cambridge?
BoJo starting off his speech with this take back control jingoistic nonsense. Can't help himself.

Gotcha. I still don't see it as a win as it makes trading harder.
