Yes, but if Boris had led the negotiations from the start, without allowing May to do the damage she did we’d probably have a better deal. I’ll never trust Gove again, even though he is one of the more competent ministers.

[yod dropper]

At least that whiny anti-democrat and his party will have to vote for the deal, beautiful.

Will be interesting to see the details...if we no longer have to follow EU state aid rules (like the french don’t) then potentially a massive opportunity for British manufacturing.

From that article;

This Agreement with the European Union is designed to honour the instruction of the
British people – expressed in the referendum of 2016 and the general election last
year – to take back control of our laws, borders, money, trade and fisheries. It
changes the basis of our relationship with our European neighbours from EU law to
free trade and friendly cooperation.
And this ambitious Agreement – carefully judged to benefit everyone – is the first the
EU has ever reached allowing zero tariffs and zero quotas. We will preserve the
immense benefits of free trade for millions of people in the United Kingdom and
across Europe.
At the same time, our Agreement means that the UK will fully recover its national
independence. At 11pm on 31 December, we will take back control of our trade
policy and leave the EU customs union and single market. We will take back control
of our waters, with this treaty affirming British sovereignty over our vast marine
wealth. We will take back control of our money by ending vast payments to the EU.
We will take back control of our borders and will introduce our new points-based
immigration system at the start of next year. Most importantly, the agreement
provides for the UK to take back control of our laws, affording no role for EU law and
no jurisdiction for the European Court of Justice. The only laws we will have to obey
are the ones made by the Parliament we elect.
While we made our fair share of compromises during the negotiations, we never
wavered from the goal of restoring national sovereignty - the central purpose of
leaving the EU. I have always said that Brexit was not an end but a beginning: the
start of a new era of national change and renewal, the next act in the great drama of
our country’s story. We will regain the ability to wield powers that have for too long
been the sole preserve of Brussels. We will now take up these tools to deliver the
changes that people yearn for and, in so doing, we will restore faith in our
democracy.

No matter what anyone does people are going to die, its a virus and doesn't discriminate, what could anyone have done better? 

You could completely lock the country down and watch people starve to death as society riots and falls.
