Where as now we can negotiate with the rest of the world without worrying about another 27 countries deciding whether or not we should.
So it's a bit like the opposite of isolationist isn't it?Comment

There was never any or not.
You and we both know that the EU deal with every country in the world. After we leave we will try and deal with exactly the same number of countries as we can now. There is not a single new opportunity to be found. The only difference is it will take many years to sort the whole thing out."Don't part with your illusions; when they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live" Mark TwainComment

Also what worries me is UK is Services that makes up the UK economy so that is troublesome. Financial Services makes up 23% of GDP if there is a failure here that is serious.
I'm staying positive though but the whole point of this is that it will no make us richer but poorer IMO, it's all about economy. I think in 20 years it could be back to normal but that's a big price to pay to the younger generation.Comment

From the article
If nothing is agreed then mobile operators would be able to implement roaming charges after the end of the transition period.
But the government has passed legislation that would provide some safeguards to consumers:
A £45-a-month limit on the amount that customers could be charged for using mobile data abroad before having to opt into further use
Requirements for customers to be informed when they have reached 80% and 100% of their data allowances
