There are nearly twice as many cheeses produced in the UK than in France! I'm quite happy putting together quite an eclectic cheeseboard of English cheeses. Problem is, many are only available in a small number of local shops. |

There is a £1.9billion UK cheese market and cheddar makes up 51% of that. Cheesewise we will be fine post Brexit.

Cheesewise is a word we need to see more of in the Brexit discussions.  G

It would be another confusing term for “the public” though. Not sure I even used it right. Cheesewise: in regard to cheese. Cheesewise: someone who is clued up about cheese. |

Curiously, our local cheesemonger is vehemently anti-brexit. He sells mostly UK cheeses and is just the sort I would have imagined to be pro-brexit (based on nothing but my own prejudices). We have great cheese supplies around here, that's for sure.

Discussed and dismissed mainly behind the scenes I believe, like the bi-lateral agreement idea. Looks like May is still going to try for a no-backstop deal even though she has no way to make it work. |

Well technically she may have a way to get it thru Parliament, while Corbyn insists that we don't need a backstop either. Keir Starmer for the first time admitted yesterday we need one. (What was JDA saying about progress being slow?). What I fear is they botch something together (May/Corbyn) on a backstop , to attempt to discomfit the EU and then run down the clock further, while going "oh look nasty EU not negotiating with us". |

Yes, if May gets Withdrawal Bill though with no backstop, then it is back to the EU to decide how to play it. I think the EU will need unanimity so Ireland will effectively have a veto on it which they may well use. EU will have followed their democratic process, we will have followed ours and then the only option is no deal. MPs on all sides will be able to predict that though and many would therefore vote down the Withdrawal Bill again. But maybe not - definite danger of no deal with useless Corbyn and intransigent May in the picture. |

I am glad we had a cheese break. One thing I forgot to say that makes No Deal most likely, the EU has to agree to us extending, and they will want to see what we will offer them to extend, so a GE or second ref is of no use. Yes, I see the same thing more this, then a bit of a panic in early March |
