Except the EU won't negotiate this until the divorce bill is agreed and the status of EU nationals is agreed. I don't understand what part of that this the government doesn't understand. The EU have consistently stated this from the start. How long is the UK going to wait before discussing these things? They have already wasted almost 5 months and agreed on nothing. But what is very clear, is all the nonsense about no deal being ok really is nonsense that will cost UK business and the economy dear, and the Tories know it.

Just f&cking hurry up tho, as I'm here in Spain trying to get a number of deals done and this Brexshit malarkey is costing me.

Worse still the rest of those doing business here just don't get us, and I don't get us.


It's all very well perambulating when it 'doesn't actually' personally cost you anything. However, the Tory cnuuunts who aren't actually in business dont seem to actually grasp the damage they're inflicting.

Then you are asking for no deal. We are leaving the EU, not the other way round remember. Holding any divorce bill to ransom on a trade deal is only going to piss the EU off. They will never go for it. And you have to remember that any agreement is subject not only to our own parliament, but also the 27 members of the EU parliament agreeing too. Time is running out for getting any of this done. We can not leave it to the 11th hour. Trade agreements are very complex to negotiate in themselves, because every single good or service to be included has to be negotiated. There is no such thing as a free trade deal. CETA, which took ten years to negotiate, excludes a whole raft of things from tariff free trade. Only access to the single market delivers a 100% free trade agreement. And it is the time it takes to negotiate trade deals that is the reason behind the request for a transitional period lasting however many years it takes to get new trade deals in place. The cost to UK business of WTO tariffs is just too high a price to pay.

It's worse than that Blah Blah, regional governments are involved as well (e.g. Belgium). I think at least 34 bodies have to give their half-arsed approval.


That said, I accept it won't be a breeze. However, there's no need for protracted 7-odd years bureaucratic agreements. Forget Junket's air-taxis wheeze. Lock the buggers in a room in a Papal conclave-style negotiation where they don't come out until they've reached agreement and I think you'll find we'll have a deal in a few weeks.

Well, as net contributions are about ?8.6 billion, then we've done that already.

Come on Keano, as much as you write floridly about the situation you do have a history of backing flops.


This Brexit shite you've so wed yourself to is much like the handbag & hampers business you ran and failed with. You spent hours and weeks writing ad's to sell the crap you'd pinned the future on.


So as much as you try and reason and argue the position of Brexit , it'll end in a familiar place of basement sale and horse trading like you've been in before.


Only this time, spare us the effort.

I reckon he thinks he's a bit of a maitn?e idol for the blue rinse brigade, aka the poor man's Des Lynam had someone punched him in the nose. But alas poor Double D, he's going head to head with Michel Barnier, all European suave, charm and sophistication. Only one winner I'm afraid, it won't be long before our Treez throws her knickers in the direction of Brussels...

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Messaging, messaging, messaging. That's all it boils down to. There are only so many fiscal policies out there, and they're there for the taking, no matter which party you're in. I hate to say it, but Farage gets it right every time. Even when Reform reneges on fiscal policy, it does it with enough confidence and candidness that no one is wringing their hands. Instead, they're quietly admired for their pragmatism. Strangely, it's exactly the same as Labour has done, with its manifesto reverse on income tax, but it's going to bomb.  Blaming the Tories / Brexit / Covid / Putin ... none of it washes with the public anymore  - it wants to be sold a vision of the future, not reminded of the disasters of the past. Labour put itself on the back foot with its 'the tories fucked it all up' stance right at the beginning of its tenure.  All Lammy had to do (as with Reeves and Raynor etc) was say 'mea culpa. We've made a mistake, we'll fix it. Sorry guys, we're on it'. But instead it's 'nothing to see here / it's someone else's fault / I was buying a suit / hadn't been briefed yet'.  And, of course, the press smells blood, which never helps.  Oh! And Reeve's speech on Wednesday was so drab and predictable that even the journalists at the press conference couldn't really be arsed to come up with any challenging questions.

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
