    No signed 'future' Brexit deal within two years, says Theresa May

    The UK will adopt 'third party status' in order to conduct trade negotiations after the two-year Article 50 process, says the PM.

    The Prime Minister has confirmed that Britain's final signed trade deal with the EU will have to take place after the two-year Article 50 process and that the UK will act as a "third country".

    The third party status was detailed in the EU Council negotiation guidelines last Friday, and Theresa May has called such a move "sensible" and "pragmatic".

    In an interview with Sky News during a trip to Jordan, when asked about third party status, she said: "There's obviously a legal situation in terms of how the EU can conduct trade negotiations.

    This is important because it confirms UK acceptance of the final deal being negotiated under Article 218 of the EU Treaty, which means the entire EU27, including Spain and the regional Belgian parliaments such as Wallonia, will have a veto on the final deal."

        Is it just third party status or is fire and theft included too?

        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          Why are you blaming the Tories for this? It wasn't Tories who voted for Brexit. IIRC plenty of Labour MPs supported the govt in the recent votes in the Commons.

                    To fill the well paid jobs vacated by highly skilled Britons leaving the UK for saner climes. Be grateful.
