Germany’s trade surplus with Britain amounts to some €50 billion ($58 billion) per year. For German industry, a hard Brexit wouldn’t just be a tremendous misfortune — it would have a worse impact on the German economy than a trade war with the US.


I don't know about "Ma Merkel pushing Britain over the PRECIPICE "(didn't one of her relatives try this in 1939?).

Who will blink first? Merkel vows to ‘push Britain to PRECIPICE’ over Brexit deal

Hi Johnwise,

The warning label should really be about EMU not the EU. As an EU member the UK was and is under no obligation to ever join the Euro. This opt out has given us a huge advantage in being able to set our own interest rates and economic direction and have full access to the single market.

If we leave the EU without any sort of deal, loss of passporting rights will lead to a gradual decline in London's financial leadership as banks are forced to move business away from the UK so they can continue to operate within the EU.

Until the uncertainty over Brexit is sorted it is very difficult for any UK company with significant business interests in the EU to provide clarity. I cited Vodafone which is on record as saying access to the single market is vital to its business interests so expect them to take remedial action in due course.

Sir James Dyson saw the possible damage to his business and took a sound commercial decision to move his HQ (and tax base) to Singapore knowing it will give his company continued access to the single market. In post Brexit Britain expect more of the same. Business wants and needs certainty to plan for the future.

There should be a warning label on the EU logo stating "Could be harmful to Member States and Ordinary People."

Hi Dr Biotech,

I was a little surprised when some Brexiteers thought it was good Dyson was moving his HQ to Singapore because he saw big opportunities for growth in the Far East. Nick Ferrari on Question Time last week described Dyson's move as a win, win. It follows from what he said that companies like HSBC and other FTSE 100 companies should up and move HQ's to Asia if they too see it as their main area for growth. I was amazed no one challenged him on this.

Regarding the EU Vodafone has clearly stated that being in the single market is vital to its future so I would eventually expect it to move its HQ to an EU country where it can operate in the single market if the UK is unable to.

Remember though a week is a long time in politics so a lot can happen before March 29th. Over the next few years this country stands to lose billions of pounds in corporate and income tax revenues. I do wonder how many jobs and how much tax will be permanently lost as a result of the mess this country has got itself into?!

So somebody from Ireland will be speaking to a client in the EU...

[dr biotech] 30/1/2019 16:57

Unfortunately some people swallowed all the BS that the brexiteers promised. The fact that it was an undeleverable fantasy seems to pass some people by. If we voted to end free movement, but to pay nothing, still be part of the single market and have our way in the Irish border it was never going to be accepted. Only an idiot would believe in it, such as the likes that believe the daily Express.

Now we are already seeing the consequences with jobs and assets being shifted to mainland Europe. It’s only going to get worse. But never mind, we will sign free trade deals with India and China to import all their low cost tat and export them.....erm investment banking?

The EU has already said that they won't reopen negotiations, or remove the backstop. May has wasted over two years flogging a dead horse when the government should have negotiated with 'no deal' being the starting point..The people are not getting what they voted for in 2016. Anything other than a full Brexit is a betrayal of democracy and the role who voted. We should not pay the EU a penny...Watching the demise of the Conservative Party.
