Today marks the first day of negotiations of the next phase of talks. It is reasonable to say the dynamics have shifted and BJ and his team enter these talks with far greater authority than Teresa May ever had. Much hot air will be expelled from both sides and the acid test will arrive in early summer when our team will determine if sufficient progress has been achieved in order to move things forward. Spring has arrived and is normally a time for optimism and we shall see what will happen as events unfold.
