That would be a complete disaster and would wreck the Good Friday Agreement. I note also that the EU is not giving in to any talk of a bespoke/frictionless/whatever-other-imaginative-word-for-deal may be conjured up on financial services. Why would they? Brexit is a great opportunity for EU countries to cheerfully welcome the relocation of many of our major financial institutions to their own capital cities. We're going to be afloat somewhere in mid-Atlantic between an unfriendly EU and an ultra-protectionist US. who'd have thought it? Well quite a lot of us, actually, despite the plethora of lies and false hopes we've so far been served up.
