The EU is said to offer the UK a 'Super-Charged' Free-Trade Deal.....apparently. Lots to work on still, including the Irish border, but talks accelerating. Escalated quickly from Canada+++ to 'Super-Charged'...... LOL. It will be the BROADEST FTA the EU will ever offer but it will not fundamentally...

My guess is, Ireland and the European Union will give themselves the planned transition time to put up a border. So probably sometime in 2020. They will wait-and-see what happens in the event of no deal which will result in the destruction of just-in-time logistics and which will immediately threate...
