Which turned out to have been possible all along, Theresa May simply didn't implement the EU rules which have already existed when she was home secretary. Immigration can never be solved by leaving the EU because it was already solved.

> They want the European oversight on laws.

If the last two years have shown us, the UK doesn't have the technical ability to run itself, the government can't even organise leaving let alone the mammoth task of re-implementing the 500-odd trade deals they will lose.

Funny, I never knew there were 500 countries in the world.

Trade deals aren't always comprehensive, but can be sector-specific.

(I have no idea whether the number 500 is correct)
