The EUSSR is going the way of the USSR. Breaking up. It's dishonest, bullying, undemocratic stuff and nonsense has been seen and witnessed. The clock has ticked.

andrew gilmore2 Dec 2020 10:08PMPoland and Hungary along with the UK, may form the nucleus of a new post-Brexit European Free Trade Agreement., possibly followed by Turkey which wiull entice other current members to leave the EU and join.6LikeReplyJohn Naylor2 Dec 2020 10:28PM@andrew gilmore Exactly once the UK shakes the dust off from the EU I would be straight into those places and even Italy with the offer to join a free trade free  nation club.5LikeReplyJohn Naylor2 Dec 2020 9:55PMWTO/Free trade difference for the UK hardly seems to matter in absolute terms, what has been exposed is the failure after 70 years of tiptoeing towards EU Statehood and not achieving it is because nation states still trump federal statehood. It was and still is a matter of keeping France and Germany from mutual aggression the rest is political fine language by those who have an economic and intellectual interest in keeping the ball in the air.

In my opinion and in case of a good deal I will say Lloyds will end up between 42p to 48p before new year.

It's seems to we are at extra time of 5 minutes..


A bad deal and Boris is history as the conservatives too.. no deal is the perfect scenario.


A good deal and labour may gain power again after change of 2 more leaders.

"Reckon all'the good news' is priced in for the immediate short term and probably up to Finals."

That is just the norm...I can't say I can remember the last years with AHO at the helm that any information that has been a benefit to the shareholders has been released to us except in the results
If I am wrong I would not mind being reminded of the occasion.
I am hopeful that the new man will treat us with more respect.

Bojo has far too much to lose with a bad deal. If he so much as leaves those haughty, self entitled sneering apparatchiks with a six inch piece of string, they'll wrap it around our big toe to trip us up, at every convenient opportunity. If he caves in to their highly unreasonable demands, then he's toast and so is his party.

Don't worry - on other threads. ;)

You could say the same thing about the €U. With bells on..

[pal44] 03/12/2020 15:21

Today: Barnier claims UK has given ground on fisheries; France threatens to veto any deal it doesn't like; New Brexit Bill risks Brussels meltdown; and British exporters shift away from EU.Late night for Brexit negotiators as deal gets closer: Yesterday, the Brexit negotiating teams were hard at work as talks went on long into the evening. In a sign that a deal is getting very close, they worked so long into the night that pizzas were delivered, giving confirmation to rumours that there is a lot worth discussing as a matter of urgency. After months and months of talks, several sources told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg that the process is likely to be concluded in the next few days, although I equally wouldn't be surprised to hear Barnier had demanded 85% of David Frost's "pepperoni passion" and the whole thing got called off.This does, however, look like the real deal as Bruno Waterfield, Brussels correspondent for the Times, also confirmed he had heard similar things. He said that one source told him, "we're definitely at the business end but you can sleep easy tonight we aren't there yet". One ambassador told Kuenssberg that there was hope the agreement could be finalised on Friday, with another diplomatic source confirming a deal at the end of this week is a possibility - suggesting the agreement is basically done, even though "it could all still fall apart". Even if the details of timing are different depending on who you ask, one thing is clear, a conclusion is now very near indeed.Time running out for ratification: There are still some major obstacles though. Firstly, there is a real fear that even if a deal is done, it won't be turned into law in time for the end of the transition period unless that process starts by the middle of the week. However, be wary of politicians claiming deadlines as they are almost always missed. Even so, time to ratify is getting tighter and tighter and pressure is on the negotiators to get a deal over the line, so expect big news in the coming days. New Brexit Bill risks Brussels meltdown: As well as the time constraints, the government is planning to bring in a new Taxation Bill and continue its fight over the Withdrawal Agreement and Internal Market Bill.The Taxation Bill might make an appearance in the middle of next week and could provoke a meltdown in Brussels, so negotiators are working to have a deal tied up by then.Barnier has warned that if IMB clauses are reinstated or Britain presses ahead with its Taxation Bill, talks could be plunged into crisis. The Prime Minister's spokesman said: "Our position on the clauses remains unchanged. We set out the rationale for why we needed the clauses: to provide a legal safety net and to protect the integrity of the UK's internal market."Labour civil war over Brexit: There's also the added pressure that the deal does actually have to pass through parliament which poses its own problems. Starmer, once a key advocate of a second referendum, now says Labour will back a deal but faces his own potential rebellion with up to 60 MPs warning they will vote against a deal if Starmer insists they back the government rather than allowing a free vote. Perhaps he will revert to type and abstain, abstain, abstain. Boris risks rebellion with fishing compromise: Boris could also have trouble with a rebellion if his deal gives too much power to the EU over the UK's future. The ERG have already vowed to vote against any deal that doesn't respect Britain's sovereignty. This won't be helped by the news that Britain has lowered its demands for a greater share of the catch in UK waters. Michel Barnier said yesterday that the UK had signalled it could accept 60% of the value of stocks, down from the original demand of 80%. He made the revelation in a meeting with EU ambassadors, after being forced into a defence of his negotiating strategy by EU member states. However, contrary to the Telegraph's reports, the Sun say a senior UK source dismissed the numbers and said that such a proposal would be a "non-starter".Fishing nations such as France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain fear Barnier may cave too easily to British demands as talks enter their final days. Macron has insisted the UK red line of annual fishing negotiations is unacceptable. One EU diplomat told the Telegraph: "If his intention was to reassure the ambassadors, he didn't succeed. Whatever he brings back to Brussels will be scrutinised very heavily." Another hit out at Germany for ignoring political fallout from EU compromises. France threatens Brexit deal veto: This brings us on to the final hurdle which is a French veto. France has warned Barnier that it could veto a trade deal between the UK and EU if it doesn't like the terms, in an attempt to pressure the negotiating team into not making any further concessions as talks come to a close. French officials warned Barnier of how bad it would look if he brokered a deal only to have it vetoed by EU leaders, according to Bloomberg. Barnier swerved a request from ambassadors to see key parts of the text before it's finished despite having revealed information about the fisheries situation. France is calling for Barnier to give up on the negotiations and trigger No Deal in order to 'shock' No 10 into a rethink. Macron believes that Britain would return to the table within a matter of weeks, more willing to accept EU demands on fishing and red tape. Barnier, it seems, knows better than Macron, having spent many months negotiating with Frost and recognises that this return would never come and that threats of No Deal are unlikely to drastically change the British negotiating position.British exporters shift away from EU: With all the Brexit news going on, UK exporters are quietly shifting trade away from the EU and forging new relationships around the world. New research shows that almost a fifth of UK exporters have moved away from the bloc and are building towards a future of trade with the so-called BRICS economies and to countries with which the UK has strong ties, including Commonwealth members such as Australia and New Zealand. Professor Jun Du of Aston Business School said the data undermined the traditional "trade gravity" model, which assumes geographically closer countries trade more and which the EU has consistently referred to. Liz Truss has been working with experts to adapt Britain's own trade model to focus more on trade in services, including digital and data.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.
