I was under the impression that's what it's not for.

The two years is to physically leave and sort out all the processes etc that need to occur for that to happen.

Trade negotiations come AFTER that?

True, Sky always give you a good deal as they don't want to lose you as a customer....

The amount of times I tried to cancel something with Sky, then ended up on a bigger package. I once had a customer service rep screaming at me "BUT WHAT ABOUT GAME OF THRONES, YOU CANT CANCEL GAME OF THRONES!"

but you have to sort out the freedom of movement issue in that two years....and you can't do that in isolation so you have to sort out the framework for trade even if you don't have the nitty gritty....

ie are we going into an EEA, to give one example

as it stands, to answer neeko's question the main stumbling block is the EU will require freedom of movement to give access to the single market and the UK can't allow freedom of movement (according to many leave politicians) but wants access

so there need to be compromises somewhere
