Has there been any more meetings between the UK and EU yet? Since it seems like there was that one on Monday a while ago and I haven't heard anything since then.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-40520218

Oh look, the outline of an EU - Japan trade deal. And we have had one day of negotiation with the EU and spent the rest of the time.....thinking of new catchphrases?

It said next meeting with the government is on the 17th, to discuss the citizen rights issue. So twice, thrice a month? Is the government so built that's all they can manage? What other responsibilities does the minister for Brexit have?

Is this really our future? I am so glad the UK voted to leave. Words cannot express the level of my gladness.

Don't know if sarcastic or brutally genuine. Also it took a bit too much effort to actually see the pictures you properly spoilered in your message, but they probably worked just fine on your side of the internet when you looked at the preview of the message you were about to post.

*shrug* It's what happens with every image on a quote. The first time you get the image, and with every quote after that, you get a link to the image. If you go back to my original post, you should see the images, rather than the links? (At least that's what I see).

And honestly, I have no reason to doubt they are genuine. Because Liam Fox is an A-Grade Twat of a man.

(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15300751 - he has previous "resigned" after proven to be an A-Grade Twat of a man).

Oh - and if you look up "liam fox" and "ties" on google there is plenty of evidence to suggest he did, in fact, say MPs should wear ties to promote British tie-makers after Brexit. Plus, as I said, A-Grade TWAT of a man.

A genuine question, why all the animosity? And why would you have accepted it as a fact and gone in to negotiations as an opponent rather than a soon to be partner, that is if you wanted to have deal like Norway etc. Just seems absurd. The papers here don't much cover brexit, I guess nobody cares. The thing was that the most anti-EU party always had UK as their poster child of getting preferential treatment. Well, apart from Greece. So I guess, the question is why are you lot going in to negotiations as an opponent of EU rather than soon to be a partner.

I suppose it is quite a difference in intention to divorce and to get closer to the union. But, I don't think it is helping anyone that no-deal is better than a deal.

There being only two options, i'm. specifically referring to the EU. Not that hard to infer, especially considering the topic..

Vince Cable thinks Brexit won't happen, and is trying to get Tory and Labour MPs to jump ship and join the Lib Dems.

Is it possible he just wants to make his party bigger and get more seats in The House?

Also - why does Owen Patterson think the vote for Brexit was "HUGE" and yet the swing to Labour wasn't so much? Can he not count?

Vince Cable is used to reversing major pledges, I wouldn't trust a word he said. Remember the coalition!

German industry warns UK not to expect help in Brexit negotiations

So that's another one of Boris' claims down the toilet. The German auto industry isn't so dependent on us that they'll make the government give us whatever we want.

He was the face of the campaign so it's kind of his word that people were voting on.

There is one thing you all english people need to remember. What is happening right now is that the self proclaimed queen of all Europe and her staff in brussels are trying to bully you into reversing your decision and slowly being consumed by their euro-country. And the question is do you want to allow that to happen. It's that simple.

My self, I became firmly anti european only when I saw how brazenly they are doing this.

It is truly terrible how the European Union simply refused to collapse, isn't it? You are entitled to your tears of rage.

Hardly, most people would have seen the Brexit campaign as the deceitful propaganda machine it was and voted on instinct. It's like saying most people took the battle bus seriously, instead of ammo to criticise the ones using it.

The EU has some decent ideals behind it but if the only way they can be maintained is at the point of a spear coated in threats of economic doom and punitive action than the means have truly outweighed the goal. You are either going to be my friend or I shall beat you until you are is not a healthy relationship.

Do you not think it is at least somewhat objectionable that you are willing to suffer just to allow your government to punish a foreign nation for not wanting to be in the same club?
