QE.
BoE injects a further £150bln, taking the total to nearly £900bln, nearly 4 times higher than the Financial Crisis.







The US Election is also hitting the markets. I fear mass rioting. Trump has already said he won't accept defeat without a fight, even it means going all the way to the Supreme Court. Who appointed the Supreme Court Judge recently? Coincidence??

EU has issued 46 legal moves against UK since UK "left the EU" in JanuaryIn exactly what way have we left, if we're still under EU law??© Brexit Facts4EU.Org 2020If the UK doesn't ditch the Withdrawal Agreement we'll be in the EU's dock for decades to comeBrexit Facts4EU.Org has analysed the EU Commission's latest list of legal "infringements" against the United Kingdom up to the end of October. We only looked at the varying forms of legal action taken by the Commission since the UK ostensibly "left" the EU on 31 January 2020.BREXIT FACTS4EU.ORG SUMMARYThe EU Commission's legal actions against the UK this yearThe UK's official membership of the European Union ceased at 11pm on 31 Jan 2020The EU has issued 46 legal moves against the United Kingdom since it "left" the EU, just nine months ago42 of these legal moves were for new cases, four were for advancing already existing legal actionWhat is the unelected EU Commission attacking the UK for?The extent to which the EU Commission interferes in the legal sovereignty of the United Kingdom can be seen from the list of areas in which it has opened the legal processes.Employment, Social Affairs and Equal OpportunitiesEnergyEnvironmentFinancial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets UnionHealth and Food SafetyHome AffairsInternal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEsJustice, Fundamental Rights and CitizenshipMobility and TransportTask Force for Relations with the United KingdomTaxation and Customs UnionAll of these 46 actions have been taken by the EU Commission since the United Kingdom ceased to be a member state, at 11pm on Friday 31 January 2020. The information all comes from the EU Commission itself and we have used the EU's description of the subject areas for the actions they have taken.Let's remember the pro-EU lies we were all up againstBack in 2014, when the move for an EU Referendum was gathering momentum, Deputy Prime Minister and LibDem leader Nick Clegg clashed with Nigel Farage in a televised debate hosted by LBC.?© Brexit Facts4EU.Org 2020Nick Clegg stated live on air that his source was the House of Commons Library for the 7% claim. Despite that august body (which MPs trust) being staffed by civil servants – a massive part of the public sector who are overwhelmingly pro-EU - even the HoC Library felt it necessary to issue a correction after listening to Mr Clegg."The average over these four years was higher, at 59%. But even this calculation does not take account of UK primary legislation or EU 'soft law' such as statements, recommendations, guidelines, declarations, special reports etc, which may be implemented equally 'softly' in the UK."- House of Commons Library, 02 June 2014In the year preceding Mr Clegg's televised debate with Mr Farage (2013), the House of Commons Library's estimate was actually 61.2%. And as they said, "even this calculation does not take account of UK primary legislation or EU 'soft law' such as statements, recommendations, guidelines, declarations, special reports etc."OBSERVATIONSRemember Nick Clegg??During the EU Referendum campaign which started almost five years ago, we attacked former LibDem leader Nick Clegg for dismissing the legal supremacy which the EU had – and has – over the United Kingdom Parliament and courts.The research and analysis we have published above is but one snapshot of how wrong Mr Clegg was.And this snapshot does not show the tens of thousands of laws which the EU has imposed on the UK and which the UK has had to obey, with no debate in the UK Parliament, for decades.Mr Clegg is now the highly-paid spokesman for a US company which denies free speech and which unilaterally censors content of which it disapproves.'Taking back control' should mean just thatUnfortunately, thanks to the Withdrawal Agreement the British people will continue to be subject to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice, (effectively the supreme court of a foreign power), after the UK's second 'exit' from the EU at the end of this year.When the Transition Period ends on 31 December 2020, the United Kingdom will still not be free, independent, and sovereign. The only way this will happen is if the United Kingdom rescinds the EU's abominable Withdrawal Agreement, on the grounds of the EU's serious and material breaches of it.We urge readers to act on the suggestions contained in our article here. Freedom is worth fighting for.Finally, you don't see official information such as that above on the BBC, nor on any other media outlet.

Brexit LIVE: Boris could walk away from trade talks TODAY as Barnier makes new demandBREXIT talks are now in the hands of Prime Minister Boris Johnson as he weighs up the EU's latest demand to get a deal over the line.By REBECCA PERRING... Daily Express.. Little word... Could...

No Deal better than a dishonest Bad Deal.WTO.

In today's brief: Serious differences remain as Barnier's downbeat assessment raises prospect of no-deal Brexit. Meanwhile, EU tries to blame UK for lack of progress and the two sides clash on share trading rules.'Serious differences' on post-Brexit trade deal: The UK and EU have said that serious differences remain over a post-Brexit trade deal as talks came to an end in Brussels. David Frost, the UK's chief negotiator has said that wide divergences remain on some core issues and that "we continue to work to find solutions that fully respect UK sovereignty".Michel Barnier also said that "serious divergences" remain over fishing and competition rules. So we are back to a position in which the only thing negotiators all agree is that they don't agree. Some may now consider Boris' decision to re-enter talks a waste of time, and that Barnier's persuasive words back then were all just talk, despite Frost noting that some progress has been made.The US election is still up in the air and looking like legal challenges could push a result back further yet, leaving some to speculate that this could be having an impact on the state of talks. However, Laura Kuenssberg has said that people involved in the talks suggested the continue uncertainty over the result was not likely to have an impact and negotiations will likely continue in London next week. Barnier blames Britain: Barnier of course has gone back to blaming the UK for not accepting the EU's demands. He said that the lack of agreement in key areas came "despite EU efforts to find solutions". He added that fishing rights, competition rules and agreement over how a deal would be enforced remained "essential conditions". Barnier accused Frost of attempting to delay the talks to put "time pressure" on the EU, despite Frost having been the driving force behind the latest intensification of talks as well as beginning work on the legal text.No-deal back on? EU diplomats told the Telegraph that there "was still a serious risk" of a no-deal Brexit, before accusing British negotiators of failing to "engage sufficiently" on the three core issues that remain. "Brexit talks seem to have made some progress lately. Unfortunately the UK does not seem to be engaging sufficiently on key issues," one EU diplomat said, "Given this situation a no deal outcome still can't be excluded." In a move that will greatly anger some Brexiteers, Barnier also told MEPs that the UK had accepted EU demands for the UK to commit to the European Convention on Human Rights, and its court, as a condition for future judicial and police cooperation, according to the Telegraph. Barnier seeks flexibility on deadline: Barnier said that the UK is too relaxed about the time frame and is not taking into account the European Parliament's timetable to ratify the treaty. An interesting thing to moan about given the fact that EU leaders made a mockery of the UK's own deadline during their summit. Barnier has now asked MEPs for flexibility in the European Parliament timetable to leave as much time as possible to do a deal and then ratify it. Barnier's downbeat assessment of talks have increased the likelihood of a no deal Brexit with British negotiators not prepared to make up the rest of the ground on the outstanding issues, instead waiting for the EU to, as they committed to, compromise too.UK and EU clash over trading in shares: The City of London regulator is at loggerheads with its counterpart in Europe over cross-border share-trading once the Brexit transition period ends. The Financial Conduct Authority said yesterday that it would use the temporary transition powers given to it by the Treasury to allow British companies to continue to buy and sell all shares on any European Union venue once the transition period ends. Unsurprisingly, the EU and its regulator have taken a more territorial position, with EU banks only allowed to buy and sell shares of EU companies in London if the securities are denominated in sterling. The FCA has said it would allow firms to continue from January trading all shares on trading venues from the EU where they choose to do so, rather than limiting themselves to platforms headquartered in the UK."Any restriction on the trading of shares based on currency does not reflect the multicurrency nature of global capital markets and limits the ability of firms to determine how best to use global capital markets to support economic activity," the FCA said in a statement. "At the end of the transition period, the UK's and EU's regimes will be the most equivalent in the world, but as it stands this has not been recognised by the EU, we chose this simple and comprehensive approach rather than to replicate restrictions based on the jurisdiction of the share issuer, or the currency in which a share is issued," the FCA's executive director of International, Nausicaa Delfas, said.Commission predicts UK economic recovery even in event of no-deal: Britain's economy will still recover after the devastating economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic even if there is a no deal Brexit, the European Commission has predicted. The Commission's Autumn Forecast is the first based on assumption that trade talks with Brussels will fail and the UK will leave the transition period on WTO terms on January 1. Unsurprisingly, the EU are predicting that a shift to WTO terms "is expected to slow down recovery" and that "a future EU-UK trade agreement would mean a positive impact on economic activity from 2021". Paolo Gentiloni, the EU commissioner for the economy said that the decision to base predictions on no deal were "a technical assumption" and without prejudice to the outcome of the ongoing trade negotiations. The Commission predicts that the EU's recovery will be about 1% stronger than the UK's next year if both sides are trading on WTO terms. If I were them, I wouldn't hold out for that prediction to materialise.For the latest news and developments throughout the day, please do follow @GlobalVision_UK on Twitter.Thanks for reading, and enjoy the rest of your day.

cheshire would think differently about the gig economy if he had found himself on the wrong side of the fence. Sadly, life has been too easy for him, so having empathy and understanding the situation is beyond his capabilities - poor fellow.

One reason it needs sorting cheshire. The sector will grow in these uncertain economic times.
