Brexit Watch: Government willing to make concessions

Comments from Eurosceptic MPs revealing their indignation at paying an “exit bill” to the EU should not be conflated with the Government’s position. Indeed, the Government seems willing to make concessions in order to ensure that Brexit is a smooth process, and avoid an abrupt end to barrier-free trade with the EU. What’s more, the appetite of world leaders from elsewhere for post-Brexit trade deals suggests that, in the long run, any trade lost due to leaving the EU could be made up by better access to large economies outside Europe.
