Barnier try to excuse himself and the rest of the mafia to European people by blaming UK, as usual. ."Barnier STILL doesn't get it: Michel Barnier told Germany's Deutschlandfunk radio yesterday that "There should be more realism in London in the coming period if they want an orderly agreement to withdraw from the single market and customs union," adding that progress will not be made "if the British continue to pick and choose the best of both worlds for themselves."-----------AGAIN.. if they don't care about ordinary people what o earth they want European army for... just to protect themselves from the people , they know is coming...."EU absent again on China condemnation: On the other side of the Channel, the EU is again failing to stand up to China. One senior EU diplomat told Politico that "Sanctions are not on the table, our relations with the Chinese are simply too important."

no way Trump will be gone in November, only way it might happen is if the Dems get mail voting that they will rig.

[goldfinger16] 29/5/2020 13:16

gecko..it is only drivel to rednecks and idiots like you.

You need to get off this board and follow World news, Trump will be gone in November and that is where the smart money is.

The Fed are pumping up the DOW, it can't last much longer.

"Trump will lose against Twitter"

Hahaha what a load of drivel.

[mr.elbee] 29/5/2020 13:03

all socialists who want the end of Boris

[I do wish I was making this up]

when Trump and Boris have gone the markets will miraculously recover

all driven,as is the case now,by very very YOUNG traders and institutional holders of stock who are NOT and never will be Tories.

This is why Lloyds has always been hammered because it is the tory's fave stock.

a 'bit' of nonsense ? MM is killing this and other shares, why ?

[mr.elbee] 29/5/2020 12:58

again........

the whole medical corona misinformation and panic was driven by politically left wing medicos wanting to get rid of Trump and Boris.

Killing a few people along the way and wrecking the world economy totally unnecessarily is a small price to pay apparently

There seems to be a bit of a cycle. World is ending one day with people trawling every news feed for anything remotely negative and posting it here. The next it's everything's great, with every positive bit of news posted here. I work on the basis of buying when it's 'maximum fear' as that's when the bargains are to be had. It's just judging where the bottom is, but with 2 recently consecutive days of high gains, it bodes well for what could happen. We could easily see 40p+ again, just a bit of nonsense getting there lol

The EUSSR does not do change. Without change there is no progress. In anything. That is why the EUSSR is a Dinosaur. That is why there will be no deal. The UK is an open minded Progressive country. But the EUSSR is systemically unused to and cannot change. End of. No Deal. Who wants to Deal with a Dinosaur.

EU indicates change in approach as final round agenda is set for Brexit trade negotiations next week. Meanwhile, the UK plans a new 10 nation 'democratic alliance' to end reliance on China as anglosphere allies issue a joint statement over Hong Kong.Fourth round of Brexit trade negotiations to begin next week: The fourth round of Brexit negotiations will begin on June 2nd, with fisheries, level playing field provision and trade all on the agenda. This will be the final round of negotiations before Boris Johnson embarks on personal meetings with EU leaders, after which he will decide whether or not to walk away from the negotiations and instead work on a future that will see us trading on WTO terms. Recent reports have suggested that Michel Barnier knows the current negotiating mandate is untenable and could look to leaders for a change in approach, specifically regarding fisheries. Signs of a change in approach? The EU's trade commissioner has said they are willing to move from their current negotiating position but it would require compromise from both sides. EU trade commissioner Phil Hogan told EU lawmakers that "Perhaps the United Kingdom has come to the conclusion that there's not going to be a deal. I hope not because we want a deal, but speed is of the essence because time is short."On Wednesday, David Frost told a Commons select committee that the EU would need to 'evolve' its negotiating position if any deal was to be reached by December 31st. Speaking on a change of tactics, Hogan said "We hope that we will see a bigger effort than we've seen to date from the United Kingdom side to move on certain issues, because we stand ready to move on ours."Barnier STILL doesn't get it: Michel Barnier told Germany's Deutschlandfunk radio yesterday that "There should be more realism in London in the coming period if they want an orderly agreement to withdraw from the single market and customs union," adding that progress will not be made "if the British continue to pick and choose the best of both worlds for themselves."Barnier also said "The United Kingdom has committed to checking/controlling all goods entering Northern Ireland. In my view, there is no discussion on this point," despite Michael Gove making clear yesterday, that the UK would hold the EU to its commitment to work on alternatives to supersede the Northern Ireland Protocol, ensuring they do not become permanent. Article 184 of the Withdrawal Agreement makes clear that the EU is obligated to use 'best endeavours' in negotiations. Barnier's insistence that there will be 'no discussion' on the matter clearly breaches this.Frost stays firm on fisheries: The UK chief negotiator also ruled out any deal that gives EU boats access to UK waters in return for better conditions for Britain's financial services in the single market. Leo Varadkar and Phil Hogan have previously suggested a "fish for financial services" compromise could be agreed to break the deadlock, however, Frost has said the UK will seek a separate agreement on fish, as is the norm. "I don't think fisheries is something we are going to link to anything," Frost said. Sitting across from Michael Gove yesterday, Frost told the Lord's European Union Committee that if a deal cannot be reached, "that will reflect the fact that we're an independent coastal state and will control access and fishing in our waters."UK plans for 'D10' alliance of democracies, ending reliance on China: Britain will look to forge an alliance of ten democracies to offer up alternative suppliers for 5G equipment and other technologies to avoid relying on China. The plans would create a 'D10' alliance of the G7 countries plus Australia, South Korea and India, with the government having already approached Washington to discuss the matter. One Whitehall source told the Times that "We need new entrants to the market. That was the reason we ended up having to go along with Huawei at the time." UK joins allies in condemning China's new security law: The UK, Australia, Canada and the US have issued a joint statement criticising China's new security law and calling for China to reverse the decision. The statement also makes clear that the recent exacerbation of conflict in Hong Kong by the Communist regime put its in direct violation of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. It reads "China's decision to impose the new national security law on Hong Kong lies in direct conflict with its international obligations under the principles of the legally-binding, UN-registered Sino-British Joint Declaration. The proposed law would undermine the One Country, Two Systems framework." Raab offers protection for Hong Kongers: Britain is leading the way in the international effort to protect Hong Kongers freedom, with Dominic Raab announcing that, if China presses ahead with the power grab, the UK would allow British National Overseas (BNO) passport holders to come to the UK for longer than the current six month period as well as allowing them "to come to the UK and to apply to work and study for extendable periods of 12 months and that will itself provide a pathway to future citizenship." A signal that the UK is fundamentally rethinking its relationship with China, looking to enhance trade and relations with its allies as it leaves the EU. EU absent again on China condemnation: On the other side of the Channel, the EU is again failing to stand up to China. As democracies around the world come out to condemn recent actions and call for a strong opposition to a continuation of Chinese aggression, EU leaders, such as Angela Merkel, are calling for a "critical and constructive" dialogue.One senior EU diplomat told Politico that "Sanctions are not on the table, our relations with the Chinese are simply too important." Germany in particular is keen to put trade relations above a international condemnation of the regime, however, the EU-China trade deal was put on pause long before the latest assault on Hong Kong, with Germany's ambassador to the EU and a former ambassador to China, admitting earlier this month that talks were stuck over market access rights for European companies.Sunak plans to announce 'flexible furlough' to get Britain back to work: Rishi Sunak is today expected to reveal how the furlough scheme will wind down after supporting workers throughout the pandemic in an effort to get people back to work. From August employers will pay a proportion of the wages with most reports suggesting it will be either 20 or 25 percent. Alongside this, Sunak is preparing his new 'flexible furloughing' that would see employees able to return to work on a part-time basis at full pay for hours worked. On our site today: Today's article comes from Rupert Matthews who was Conservative MEP for the East Midlands between 2017 and 2019 and is a former Campaign Manager for the Freedom Association's 'Better Off Out' campaign. His article looks at the history of the Eurosceptic movement in the UK and shows how Gaitskill's vision of opposing EEC membership was abandoned after his death as Harold Wilson appointed moderates who took Britain into the EEC.

M2I am really worrying about your mental health.. you going to bed with Boris and you wake up with Brexit....Watch out or one day they will lock you in a crazy house all for bea labour supporter.

[grahamite2] 29/5/2020 11:53

Most of this bad stuff going on is all down to Trump, in fact pretty much everything. And Boris as well

Your words.

[grahamite2] 29/5/2020 11:44

Oh yes, Boris and Trump caused the coronavirus through their secret agents in China.

What a loon!

[minerve 2] 29/5/2020 11:37

The world starts to get better with a new president. Most of this bad stuff going on is all down to Trump, in fact pretty much everything. And Boris as well, he has caused a lot of damage too. A competent PM and competent POTUS would have handled Hong Kong much better that it wouldn't have got to this point. Handing citizenship is really a sign of final defeat over the region.

[goldfinger16] 29/5/2020 11:30

Trump must be in a fix at the moment, with people rioting against the Police and their public execution of a defenceless black man, all Trump needs is to lose 100% of the black vote. Pundits are forecasting a march on Washington.

Trump will lose against Twitter and if you look you will see that the rioters are not just black people, there are just as many whites, the disenfranchised working classes are waking up to a system that threw them under the bus years ago.

How does public unrest affect markets, it will be interesting to see if the Dow has a down day, the Fed can only pump money in until it all dries up.

These markets are waiting for the second big fall, I am sure glad that I am on the sidelines.

The World is in a mess, where will it all end.
