The EU is pleased with the latest deal because it allows them to trap the UK into almost permanent transition, claims one MEP.

Speaking to the BBC This Week in Westminster programme, British Labour MEP for London, Seb Dance, claimed that the EU was delighted by the transition deal as it keeps us tied to the bloc's rules for decades.

"I’m shocked by the idea that this transition deal is just a small inconvenience.

"This is basically the situation that we will find ourselves in the transition period indefinitely. Just look at Norway, they've been so-called transitioning out of the process of joining what was then the EEC for some 20-odd years now because there is nothing else to go to."

And he went on to say that he thought that we would be in transition for decades and that he didn't know of any of his EU27 colleagues who thought any different.

"The Irish are incredibly pleased, obviously, with the way in which these negotiations have gone - he said - because for them they see the certainty continuing. They can remove the idea of the spectre of the hard border because not only have they got the agreement and assurances for the transition.

"but actually when they go forward we have this backstop option, which would see regulatory alignment North and South and thanks to the DUP East and West as well, so yes I think we'll be stuck in the transition pretty much forever."

And this ties in with the next story where the Irish PM wants the UK as close as possible to the EU.

Now, just because the UK has decided to leave the EU club does not make the UK responsible for ensuring the ongoing prosperity of the bloc.

But while taking political brickbats to the UK over the Irish border question, the Irish Taoiseach is saying the UK must stay as close as possible to the EU in order to protect Irish jobs.

The Belfast Telegraph reports that:

"The UK should stay as close as possible to the EU after Brexit, Irish premier Leo Varadkar has said.

"The “enormous” trade between Britain and Ireland should be protected to ensure Irish jobs, the premier added."

Just to be clear, I am interpreting the use of the word 'Britain' here as the same as the 'UK' and the word 'Ireland' as the 'Republic of Ireland'. Not the British Isles and the island of Ireland.

And I say no we leave on Brexit day and if we have to suffer a transition courtesy of Mrs May then it must end on time as already agreed!

It is up to the UK to leave the EU with the best possible deal to ensure that the UK prospers. If the EU is such a wonderful trading bloc, as the Remainers keep telling us, then it does not need our help to do anything!

The UK should not be sucked or fooled into somehow being responsible for the state of the EU single Market and Customs Union nor the economics of its member states.

The tempers of the UK public are probably also fraying after continually having veiled threats of a return to the Troubles thrust in their face and used as a Brexit bargaining chip, while being told by the very same people that the UK has to be nice and help keep jobs in the EU.
