Fishing rights will be traded for something else ... bear in mind the main customer for our fish is the EU ... what we are seeing is posturing prior to negotiation.

I keep waiting for Boris to throw the fishermen under a bus..




Politics latest news: UK must become the new Norway and defend its fish stocks, says former minister







Harry Yorke, political correspondent
7 FEBRUARY 2020 • 8:57AM


Britain must become an "independent maritime nation" like Norway and must not be locked into binding commitments on fishing with the European Union, a former environment secretary has said.

Boris Johnson is preparing for his first major show down with Brussels over a future trade agreement, with Brussels demanding access to the UK's fishing waters in exchange for financial services.

However, Owen Paterson, a senior Tory Brexiteer, has this morning warned that access cannot be "built into" a binding treaty and must instead be negotiated on an annual basis.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Paterson said that Brexit offered the UK the opportunity to "stop the horrors" of the Commons Fisheries Policy, which he said forced fishermen to throw back "a million tonnes of fish dead as pollution every year."....

China lowers tariffs on U.S goods.

jeff farmer7 Feb 2020 7:16AMnever mind the 2.5% tariffs, hopefully the 31% tariff on all makes of motorcycles imported from the USA and the 22% tariff on heavy trucks from anywhere will get binned. (Ever wondered why you never see Japanese/South Korean/Chinese trucks in the uk?) So all small transport companies in 24 eu countries have to pay more for their trucks just to protect Swedish/German/French/Italian truck makers!

Average incomes and growth ratesBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: FEBRUARY 7, 2020I do find it extraordinary that people write in to complain about me citing World Bank figures for GDP and Incomes per head for the EU, UK and USA. They complain I am attacking the EU because it shows  the EU with the lowest figures of the three.  I am merely stating the facts as set out by an international body these correspondents are usually keen to praise. I have no reason to doubt their past statistics, though I do not always agree with their forecasts.As we prepare for full departure from the EU it is most important we look at what works. What does the USA get right to promote prosperity, freedom and happiness for the greatest number, and what does the EU get right? What do we wish to change, because we are currently following the EU model, and what do we wish to keep because it is good?One of the big differences which will be contentious with some is the different approach to energy. The USA is increasing its output of oil and gas from onshore deposits. The EU is against further exploitation of oil and gas deposits and shale reservoirs at home, but is wedded to importing more gas from Russia. It is busy constructing a new large pipeline to increase its dependency on Russian gas. If you wish to promote higher incomes and more jobs at home you need to accept more domestically produced gas and oil. If you wish to be greener you need to reduce reliance on  Russian gas and find alternatives that meet your green requirements.The USA has increased its oil output by more than fifty percent, taking it up to 13 million barrels a day this year. This big expansion in recent years has been an important boost to incomes and jobs. Meanwhile  Germany imports 90million tonnes of oil a year, and burns its way through 66 million tonnes of coal a year to keep the wheels of its car factories and other industrial activity turning. Burning so much coal is not a good idea in  the leading industrial economy in  the EU which claims it is a world leader in  removing fossil fuels.  The EU is a large user of coal but  is of course dwarfed by China which consumes 4 billion tonnes of coal a year. None of these industrial economies is yet able to rein in their use of fossil fuels in the way the Green movement would like.The UK needs to move back to energy self sufficiency, without coal in  the mix. This may well require more UK gas to replace imports as well as further renewable electrical power.

You sound surprised Tygarreg

Gave up on that along time ago - biased as hell

Time to do away with the licence fee to fund this propaganda - even the Russians got their Pravda news free of charge

That likely as a result of the Govt. bailout, off course Treasury no longer has stake, and the share price will only arrive above a quid with a consolidation of stock, I suppose one consolation is the lack of likely volatility due to the immense number of share in issue!

Rightmove also had a very successful share buyback programme which helped their share price rise 1000%

The home of freedom. The 'house of commons' found trump innocent. The house of Democrats and republicans said. ..

'trump has being wronged and now we put it right'

I wish the UK parliament could learn from them. And get justice done in days. Not 3.5 years of 'owned votes'

They united for the sake of justice

And sent forth a great man to serve his country with honour , for years to come
