The Mighty Thor Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 2 minutes ago, Boy Daniel said: Yep as above. Rats fleeing the stinking sinking ship of fools. Brexit minister Lord Frost walks out on Boris: Panic in No10 as PM's key ally quits, saying he's 'disillusioned' with the Government's Covid Plan B restrictions, vaccine passports, tax hikes and the cost of Net Zero green agenda. Aye of course it's those things and not the absolute shitshow of Brexit so far with the real impact still to come when the unilaterally imposed grace period lapses in Jan. But it's vaccine passports 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Lord Frost, knowing he's in charge of pursing the impossible, flounces off into the sunset. I bet the EU won't be happy at having all previous talks nullified and having to start all over again with whichever new arsehole takes the job.

WorldChampions1902 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Michael O’Leary doesn’t pull any punches about the incompetent Cabinet we have encumbered ourselves with. “If you were running a business, you wouldn’t hire Johnson, Michael Gove, or Priti Patel. They’re all idiots. The only thing they have in common is that they were all Johnson-supporting Brexiteers. Anybody with any ability is kind of frozen out of the cabinet.” Worth a read. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/c8102270-5f79-11ec-8fac-c70e630faee6?shareToken=e2a95017693c325448258ad6eb4e9255&fbclid=IwAR0AuZ9ElzyoFDmEv7xnXoO6Q9wU_j4hzrWWf7btex0tj3DWVkQCFIvFF18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Now this is an edge case and likely not a GDP shattering impact but the Brexit impact on DIY music artists and record labels is horrendous. This is a potential workaround that is being considered by one record label: "Is there a solution? "This sounds insane…" begins Judge. "But we've actually talked about only shipping to Europe once a month and then taking it in turns to drive across to France and then send everything from France. That's been a genuine conversation. It's ridiculous." Yet another dividend from Global Britain.

I must admit I found O'Leary's comments annoying. Same as when he quite rightly savaged the EU (and others) for the pointless "security" measures introduced at airports relating to liquids and clear plastic bags. It's nearly worse when he says something I agree with, because he's such a completely dislikeable bollix. Mind you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 This is the government's own impact assessment on Truss "amazing" Australia deal. British farming, forestry and fishing will suffer a £94m hit from the free trade agreement, a Department for International Trade (DIT) document has revealed. The government also expects a £225m hit to the semi-processed food sector, conceding that it was another area expected to “contract” as a result of increased competition. So that's a total loss of £319 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Not only does Jan 1st see the end of the Brexit transition period and tariffs between the UK and EU go up across the board, but the UK steel industry is being hit with a double whammy. The USA and EU deal to end steel tariffs (imposed by Trump) comes into force on Jan 1st. EU steel will be 25% cheaper to import to the USA than British steel will. So exporting steel to the EU will incur tariffs and USA importers will get steel 25% cheaper from the EU than the UK, making them far less likely to buy British at all.
