On Sunday Dripford said any deal was better than no deal. You just couldn't make it up but hang on we are dealing with Dripford.

He’s inconsequential to the relevance of this deal.
Wales is part of the UK. The deal applies to the UK.
It does but there are things that effect home countries differently! But Welsh farmers and buisnesses are broadly happy except the fisherman's lot..... fishing deal is for 5.5 yrs EU wanted 8 so compromise there? at least there is end to EU control of our waters and fishing owners can plan ahead if required.

Long term, any benefit will depend on what trade deals can be negotiated with the rest of the world, particularly the US and emerging economies like Africa and India. Biden isnt in a rush to get a deal done as hes got domestic matters to concentrate on first.

Yes yes but it’s much more than that; it’s the being independent and not fettered by a Union.
It’s how UK should be, not only in the macro sense but in every other way; independence of the individual and not bound by socialist ideals.

Yes, the farmers seem quite 'happy' with the deal; particularly the sheep farmers, who say this deal allows them to continue their businesses with minimal issue; just a little bit more paperwork and their minor cost implications

Exactly. We want close ties to Europe and access to trade and other bits that are mutually beneficial like air traffic control, anti terrorism cooperation and such like.
However we don’t want to be part of the bloated super state that the EU has become and definitely want to be outside of what it will become in the future.

Simple as that, yes to mutually beneficial trade, no to a Federal Europe led by unelected self serving parasites.

As if he and his desperately weak party could have achieved a deal. He really is an uninspiring, unimaginative and lack lustre leader of the Socialists.
Drakeford followed suit like a moth to a light.
