Ten years of economic and diplomatic damage, only to come crawling back to beg for the status quo.

What a fucking disaster Brexit has been. At least it's finally looking at being undone.

    Is the clause that they’ll just take Farrage away and dispose of him quietly, and we’ll stop being dickheads?

    This was a potent metaphor for the last ten years of the UK.

    Makes sense. Take precautions, minimise damage.

    That’s par for the course. Has the guardian never taken part in any agreement ever?

    It wasn't in the previous agreement so I guess it's not as common as you think.

    There’s no way you haven’t heard of article 50 if you lived in the UK between 2016 and 2020

    Article 50

    1. Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements.

    2. A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention. In the light of the guidelines provided by the European Council, the Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. That agreement shall be negotiated in accordance with Article 218(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It shall be concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council, acting by a qualified majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.

    3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.

    4. For the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 3, the member of the European Council or of the Council representing the withdrawing Member State shall not participate in the discussions of the European Council or Council or in decisions concerning it.

    A qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3)(b) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

    1. If a State which has withdrawn from the Union asks to rejoin, its request shall be subject to the procedure referred to in Article 49.

    There's nothing about paying for the reinstatement of border controls. If I remember correctly EU wanted UK to pay whatever they agreed to pay into the budget before brexit and it was all part of the negotiations.
