when the UK rejoins the EU (and it will), it will be a UK fully committed to the EU project. No more special deals & exceptions like we used to have; that's all been thrown away. ... it'll take time to get there; this is PM Burnham making start. [BBC "balance theory" isn't going to help] #bbcpm

the UK does not get a blank sheet to define a new relationship with the EU; it can only chose between options the EU will negotiate on. Whilst there remains significant support for the Brexiters currently inhabiting the right wing of UK politics, the EU will negotiate little of significance. #bbcpm
