What other concessions would you look for? The UK-EU november deal said they would set up a transitional period, which lasts until 31 December 2020, but can be extended once by mutual consent. During the transitional period, UK will remain a member of the Europe Economic Area, the single market, and the customs union, EU laws will continue to apply to UK, UK will continue to pay into the budget. However, UK will not be represented in the decision-making bodies of the EU. The transition period will give businesses time to adjust to the new situation, and time to negotiate a new trade deal between the EU and UK.

The UK wanted this. remember trade deals take time -- even the RENEGOTIATION of NAFTA / USMCA took a year.

The big problem was on the Irish border question, the agreement sets a backstop which will come into force, in the case that there is not new agreement between EU and UK before the end of the transition period. In that case, UK will remain in a customs union with the EU. Neither party can unilaterally withdraw from this customs union. The goal of this backstop agreement is to avoid a "hard" Irish border, where customs checks are necessary

But the irish border cannot be made hard as per the Good Friday agreement that the UK signed in 1997. the EU did not allow the UK to bully Ireland.

what more concessions are you looking for?

Theresa may wants to beg the EU to offer a concession on the Irish backstop. That's it -- what do you, FLT-Bird, want the EU to do with this? Allow the creation of a hard border in NI-RoI that violates the good Friday agreement? Or keep the border open and that will violate what people voted for in the 2016 referendum. What is your plan for this?

What would I urge? Hard Brexit. If the EU wants to erect a hard border in the Republic of Ireland - and pay for it - in the teeth of fierce opposition from the Irish who do not want that, and if they want to pay for manning that border, let ‘em!

As a political reality, I don’t think they can do it. I think they’re just posturing and that this is part of Project Fear 2.0. Hell, the EU can’t even defend its borders from the millions of military age males pouring in from 3rd world shitholes in Africa and the Middle East......but they’re going to erect a hard border in Ireland and pay for its upkeep? Don’t make me laugh.
