Everybody agrees that Brexit is not good for anybody. Everybody here has said that. There is a huge job of work to do now, because the agreement leaves an awful lot of detail to be sorted out. It is very difficult for everybody, including the Minister, to get a grip on it. There are a lot of different interpretations of the same statements. During the coming weeks, months and years this will be hammered out in committee meetings here, in Westminster and in the EU. This is just the beginning of our difficulties. It is not the end. It will be very difficult for everyone involved in politics in the coming years. This is truly a disaster for the country. We are making the best job we can of the disaster that is coming down on our heads.
