There are lots of other things that need doing apart from rejoining the European Union if the British economy is ever to grow in a sustainable way again.

Forgive me if I've got that reference wrong, but there's a famous quote about lawyers in that Shakespeare play.

Do you remember it, Jim?

No, I don't.

Kill all the lawyers.

Okay.

Right, Chris.

For the avoidance of doubt, that is not an incitement to terrorism or even to be taken literally, but you can understand the sentiment that Shakespeare expressed in that play.

Well, Donald Trump wrote the book The Art of the Deal.

I suspect the Iranians haven't read it because they are historically unbelievably tough negotiators.
