Pure political fantasy - EU has always stated that if UK does that then all the free immigration and EU courts also stay - and those two things are the issues that people in UK are and are most against!
UK is either IN the EU - or OUT of the EU, with a trade deal of some sort as many other countries have.

Both parties support a transition period, it would be crazy not to. Labour's proposal has the virtue of being simple and the EU would surely agree to it. If the talks continue to drag on with no result, the Tories (assuming they are still in power by then), may have no choice but to consider this themselves.

The question is why is this piece appearing in Mercopenguin, a British government propaganda organ supposedly devoted to America, South America and the “South Atlantic”?
