free trade deal? free trade negotiations were always planned to happen, but these things realistically take 5 years and often over a decade to complete

the withdrawal agreement was always ment to regulate what happens in the meantime

We're completely aligned and our standards are way higher than most of the EU.

LOL,

you do know you guys are doing this Brexit thing to get rid of regulations, right? I believe your current PM promised a "bonfire of rules and regulations".

If anything that might make the process harder and take longer, as first you guys will need to go through everything and decide which parts you want to get rid off before you can really approach the EU negotiators with a clear picture of how to arrange a free trade deal.

I think there is a good chance the UK stays very closely or even completely aligned to EU regulations in the long term, but wouldn't that mean Brexit failed to get you back your "sovereignity" ? (afaik one of the main reasons people voted for it)
