andym Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Seen that useless twunt IDS has been having his two pennies worth with some op-eds today, complaining that by remaining aligned to EU standards and regs it will hamper our ability to trade with the rest of the world: "Ninety per cent of future economic growth will be outside the EU and we are in real danger of being unable to exploit that commercial freedom. It is vital we do so because most of the UK’s exports go outside Europe and despite all the hype, exports to the EU amount to only 12 per cent of our GDP...Britain runs a yearly trade deficit with the EU of just under £100 billion, whereas we have a trade surplus with the rest of the world. Given that stark imbalance, it is in our national interest to maximise our trade with the rest of the world. Yet, it will be impossible to strike arrangements centred on mutual recognition of standards of goods with other countries — all because we’ll be hamstrung as ever by EU requirements." So we currently manage to do loads of trade to countries outside the EU, while subject to EU requirements, but in the future we won't be able to do loads of trade outside the EU because we will be subject to EU requirements? That said, i agree with the likes of IDS, Boris and JRM (gulp) that the principle of being out the EU but having to abide by their regs without a say in drafting them is stupid. But maybe they should have thought of that 2 years ago, instead of leaving us with either that option or crashing out and **** things up good and proper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted July 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2018 Johnson was never a believer in Brexit. He's a believer in what's good for Boris. He bet at the referendum that backing Brexit would position him nicely for a leadership bid, even if as he expected Remain won, which then failed. Since then he's kept up the charade in case it played out for him and spent the rest of the time petulantly daring May to sack him. Resigning now is just another opportunity to start fishing for a challenge again. Davis on the other hand clearly just can't be ****. 4 hours of negotiations and months of lying to parliament in 2 years were enough for him. No amount of sugar money is worth that much effort. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ml1dch Posted July 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Release of the Brexit White Paper today. Raab stood up to deliver it, before being told that he couldn't as he hadn't made it available to MPs beforehand. So it took Raab slightly less than one minute in his new role in the Commons before screwing up so badly that the session had to be suspended. Good to see him continuing his predecessor's tradition of incompetent buffoonery. Edited July 12, 2018 by ml1dch 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those things that even the cleaner in the commons knows I suspect. It's the big school project reveal, unfortunatley they have realised at the very last minute they did not read all the questions on the other side of the Article 50. They are children in adult bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this Government has ably demonstrated that you don't necessarily need to make a choice between malice OR incompetence to explain their actions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted July 12, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2018 Greenpeace managed to get hold of a copy of a trade review for a potential Britain-India deal Quote The UK should be prepared to relax EU rules on food standards and chemical safety as part of a new trading relationship with India, according to an unreleased report by the British and Indian governments. The official joint trade review – obtained by Unearthed despite the UK government’s refusal to release it – spotlights a range of non-tariff barriers to trade identified by Indian businesses, including limits on fungicides in basmati rice, the enforcement of food hygiene standards for milk and dairy products such as paneer and the use of hormone-disrupting chemicals across a range of non-food products. The list – drafted by the Indian ministry of commerce – stops short of demanding the rules be removed after Brexit, instead suggesting flexibility in how and when they are applied to meet the needs of exporters. Again, shocking. Honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
