Since the vote over 5 months ago, how are they progressing?

The government should state their aims and strategy so we can all have a grown up discussion about them.

So, you're not going to be involved then.

Things are looking up. Johnson agrees with Davis that it would be fine to pay for (tariff-free) access to the single market as long as we don't pay "too much". Quite so, I wouldn't want us to pay too much. Predicting currency movements is a risky game but I reckon the dear old pound will be worth more when markets open tomorrow ... unless T'resa stomps her foot and insists she won't pay.

 I'm fairly sure many people had many discussions before the referendum. I know I did.

We can discuss them but we won't decide on them. We already made our decision.

From that I can can take it you've already had long conversations about how relaxed you'd be for the UK to continue to pay into the EU coffers - even after we've left.

 I'm fairly relaxed about most things in life. That doesn't mean I'm unaware of global current affairs.
 It doesn't mean I'm disinterested in what goes on in other people's lives, and it doesn't mean I'm stupid.
 I once sold a house and bought a narrow boat in a place called Poynton. The reason for this was so I could avoid the 'poll tax'. I just moved my boat every 3 months 50 yards down the canal and back.
 Try looking how the result can be used to your benefit instead of being negative about something that really should not be challenged.

The narrow boat option sounds idyllic...... especially so if there's some decent fishing to be had.

Looked at the route you would have taken - right alongside the dementia clinic!

Made me smile, imagining you poddling 50 yards up and down outside there every 3 months.

Still a bit envious , though.
