Reality Check: Has the EU had its accounts signed off?


The EU has plenty of flaws, and I agree if they had been more willing to adapt it is possible Brexit would never have happened. Possible, not not, I think, likely.


But let us agree that the EU has lots of problems. That does not mean in itself leaving it will be better for us.

By the weekend, the cabinet will either fail to agree, produce fudge which the EU will probably not accept, or finally decide whether it is going for a soft or hard Brexit. Quite possibly, but not certainly, there will be some resignations. I would guess the "big beasts" will not resign, but the more ambitious lower ranks might.

I imagine not all of these will overcome what you see as the problems of the EU membership. What outcomes are acceptable to you? And more importantly, perhaps, what is your stance if the decision is one of the options you did not want?
