M2 - it will make Brexit all worthwhile having those Tim Tams. You should support it now.

But don't worry Boris leaps to the rescue as he advertises that a trade deal between the UK and Australia would bring "wonderful" Tim Tam's biscuits to the British people at a "reasonable price".

Wow, I can't wait..............

As McEnroe would say - he can't be serious.

Wakes up the natives Dummkopf. So tell us what have you done with your investments this week, if you have any? Some pretty big potential pivots around.

ALP. King of cheap jibes.

The only one who thinks he's clever is..... guess who. oh! yes it's ALP.

stoned - a cheap shot eh??? If you want cheap then look no further than sterling today. Take off your rose tinted spectacles - all you do is make a spectacle of yourself.

Alps Brexit is a process which has taken nearly 50yrs to come to fruition. The app is a product which has been binned after 5 minutes because its rubbish.

Hmmmm..
If they don't make progress, there maybe no progress!!

Trade deal will be 'difficult' if no progress by October

Reaching a trade agreement with the European Union will be "difficult" if "significant progress" isn't made by October, warned on Michael Gove on Thursday.

The negotiations between London and Brussels previously came to a standstill, with both sides accusing the other of being unwilling to compromise.

President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen asserted yesterday that a trade deal can only be made if it includes "level playing field" guarantees of fair competition.

In control?

Boris Johnson’s “world beating” virus contact-tracing app will be ditched in another embarrassing U-turn

UK turns to Apple, Google for coronavirus tracing

The British government will drop its own program for tracing COVID-19 cases and switch to Alphabet Inc's Google and Apple's technology instead, it was reported on Thursday.

The companies launched their joint Exposure Notification API, which uses a decentralized model, in May to help health officials track coronavirus infections. The United Kingdom now aims to implement the model into its track-and-trace scheme with the view of reopening the country.

The method initially introduced by the National Health Service (NHS) has been criticized for its technical faults and for failing to properly track all the possible infections nationwide.

No
5xy is a proponent of this - but there has to be a reality check - we had to do what we were told. Not that i do.
fallow fields - with good soil laid to waste - EU quota rules - we should produce what we are able to.
I believe China is or should be a helpful ally in producing basic plastics - should we produce ? we will need to start up the process but the capability is lacking - inflation would soar - as indeed it will.
tyres - another example - we closed all or most of the facilities here.
Remember we cannot be Salisbury in splendid isolation - and just in time has to go. Coys need to manage their stock needs.

Ut - you are missing the point which is no surprise. Tell me if you need it spelt out.

[alphorn] 18/6/2020 16:43

G2 - Are you crazy? Using past failures to justify another failure is laughable - to be polite.

You can be more thoughtful than that.

buys only up by 48 Mill, marked down on the day , pretty standard !!!

This IMV is symptomatic of a big risk post Brexit - the idea, followed by most posters here and the Express, that home grown ideas/ systems are the bees knees.

What utter drivel. The record of British governments in producing IT catastrophes goes back far before Brexit and is wholly unconnected with it. And what's the Daily Express got to do with anything, except as a cheap crack an intelligent 16 year old would disdain?

The main thing is that the government has been willing to admit it was wrong and to change course.

[alphorn] 18/6/2020 16:24

Is the government actually in control of anything?

maxidi: Not surprising really; Vicktor Orban is a bit of nasty piece of proto - dictator. No room in his Hungary for folk like George

"Like a bond villain, Viktor Orban cannot resist revealing his plans. The Hungarian prime minister has never hidden his desire to entrench himself in power. Before taking office in 2010, he remarked ominously: “We have only to win once, but then properly.” True to his word, when handed a big enough majority by Hungarian voters, Mr Orban hollowed out the Hungarian state, rewriting its constitution, purging the country’s courts and nobbling the media. In 2013 he told an interviewer: “In a crisis, you don’t need governance by institutions.” Again, he has followed through. A law enacted on March 30th means Mr Orban can rule by decree—bypassing parliament—until the coronavirus crisis is over. In films the villain is thwarted after revealing his hand. But Mr Orban is up against the European Union, not James Bond, so he succeeds.".
The Economist.

(Sounds a bit like our BoJo? Eh?)
