Good morning. Now it's done, there is one thing for sure we can all agree on - cutting the rope to the EU means we set our own direction. So, from now on, no more blaming anyone else, no hiding places. From now on, whatever goes right or wrong - economic growth, migration, the rule book of daily life - that is the achievement or the failure of British politicians. The buck travels no further and that ought to mean a new era of accountability. Sharper questions, yes, but also frank answers. Now it's no longer Dry January, I for one will drink to that.
Hmm, so EU politicians / bureaucrats now bear no responsibility for anything that happens over the next year (and thereafter) or for the outcome of our trade negotiations with them, and it will be our politicians alone who will be held accountable by the BBC for anything and everything that goes wrong? Surely not - especially if Katya Adler is correct that the EU holds the upper hand in negotiations!
How about asking the EU side sharper questions too, Andrew? (There's always a first time.)
