@thamesynne It's a great solution for the right of the party, though, which is why it's been waved through with only a bit of grumbling, mostly for show.
It provides free access between the UK and EU for money and goods, so business can continue to do what it's always done.
It removes free movement except For Work, meaning your right to move now depends on whether you're useful (ie cheap) for a corporation. The gods of Work, Job Creators decide where/how we get to live.

@thamesynne So in effect, a Pole can move to Leicester if she is going to pack eggs for minimum wage.
A Brit can move to Frankfurt to go and work for Deutsche Bank.
But a Pole can't move to Britain to get away from Eastern European LGBT discrimination and decide what she wants to do when she gets here.
And a Brit can't move to Berlin to start a radical co-op with friends.
Movement now has to be For Work, and Work is decided by corporations and bosses.

@thamesynne It reduces people to units of production who can move around Europe if they are useful to companies, but otherwise should stay in their place and stop being pesky.
