Isn't the WTO another entity that doesn't class as sovereign?

ROFLMAO!

mhin2 - "The EU is being left with little choice but to cast the UK aside."

Ok, so WTO then, fine. We avoid losing £39bn + one off and some £11bn/an. That £11bn would, as we know be more like £18bn after we lose the rebate etc as announced by the EU - note: without any negotiation, "the UK will lose it".

You like that mhin2? Weak.

Then, of course, Eire would suffer considerably while we'd benefit from tariffs.

The £50bn+ tariffs and annual saving would be used for various means to boost our economy and competitiveness.

Meanwhile, the "many countries that want UK `assets'" should bear in mind that those "assets" might not want to go to a Europe increasingly in upheaval. I wouldn't need to give much consideration as to where I'd like to be based.

Escape from EUSSR.Now RELAX. Cricket.

[mhin2] 25/7/2019 19:05

The EU has no option other than to take on trump, and if the UK is not onside- they will take on the UK...I know where I would lay my bets

Hopefully raise the dividend, special dividend? Attract more income investors/funds? Share price goes up?

[buywell3] 25/7/2019 18:54

Buybacks are not working even at 57.4p today

50p coming IMO

Lloyds must surely be over-priced, unless the chaos to come is already priced in....but I think not. The EU is being left with little choice but to cast the UK aside....conceding to Bojos posturing would weaken the EU...furher, there will be many countries that want UK `assets'...eg Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt on finance; Poland, Spain, Portugal and others for automobiles ...almost like vultures hungry to pick of the carcass....I am surprised the EU has been so accommodating to the UK ...must be Germany...

Every time Boris is in Brussels, Trump will be on Twitter telling tbe EU, America will apply tariffs if they dont kiss BJs boots. Great cornerman

[alphorn] 25/7/2019 18:22

Original RichardPosted July 25, 2019 at 3:29 pm | Permalink"The UK will eventually have no choice but to accept Mrs May's deal. It is just a matter of time."Fortunately the UK still does have a choice as to whether to sign the EU's surrender treaty – where we accept EU laws, budgets, taxes, fines and policies (trade, energy, environment, foreign, immigration etc) but without representation or veto and with no lawful means of exit – the one described by Mr. Verhofstadt's staff as reducing the UK to EU colony status – or leave with "no deal".Freedom and the negative social, economic and political consequences of becoming a colony of the EU far outweigh the consequences of leaving the EU without a trade deal, even when it is expected/predicted/threatened by remainers that the EU elites will turn very nasty.?Ian WraggPosted July 25, 2019 at 4:01 pm | PermalinkAs we have a £90billion deficit with the EU, I would say that's a pretty good lever. Remember the EU doesn't sell us anything that can't be obtained elsewhere.It will encourage manufacturing back home.It always amazes me how we can trade with non EU countries or how the 140 plus countries not in the EU survive.

Six days to the H1 results. Will they make us rich people or will the share price remain stuck?

SimeonPosted July 25, 2019 at 10:57 am |PermalinkIt seems that the presence of Dominic Cummings is a clear signal that BJ and the Conservative party intend to deliver Brexit themselves, with Farage and the Brexit Party sidelined. What kind of Brexit they intend to deliver will determine whether Farage is cheering them on or preparing for a pitch invasion.

k38 - good news. How much do you need to recoup, or are you the grandson of Harold Wilson?

[k38] 25/7/2019 18:00

BUT..All my money on Boris.Brussels will bend over like good boys. Time to learn 'change or die'

[prenvest] 25/7/2019 17:58

Will still be a European country even if we leave the EU.

[k38] 25/7/2019 17:55

No need to beg.. They will come us. A deal after Brexit is imminent. Europe without uk is a sick man in oxygen.

[careful] 25/7/2019 17:40

I suppose it will take 10 years.

By that time many of the older voters who voted leave will have passed on.
They grew up in that period where watching war films, 'Where Eagles Dare', how enjoyable to watch a small group of brave soldiers go in blow the place up and kill bout 20 Germans each.

Not just here either, nationalism is on the rise everywhere.

but the young are a coming and sadly the old will pass on.
Sanity will be restored.

But what's the EU's reaction?

"EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier has called Boris Johnson's first speech to MPs "rather combative".

He also said eliminating the Northern Ireland backstop, as the new UK PM proposed, would be "unacceptable"."

Head in sand. Of course, that doesn't mean that they won't talk about a resolution that would avoid the 'backstop', after all they are career politicians, and it is after lunch..

[poikka] 25/7/2019 17:30

ECB seriously concerned about the direction of the EU economy, and fast running out of options. That's not good news, but it would do Draghi credit if he didn't blame Brexit for some of the woes.

I mean, really, are we they key to the resolution? Well then, the answer's pretty straightforward isn't it? Do a deal with us! Don't try to shaft us!

The groundwork's already been done over the decades, so get your skates on and stop the nonsense.

[careful] 25/7/2019 17:28

If you know your history, then you know that way back, our Prime Minister Harold McMillan pleaded with De.Gaulle the French President to let us join the common market.

He was turned down because De Gaulle felt that the UK was Americas poodle, and could never be European enough.
Apparently our PM was in tears.

I do hope we do not have to go begging to be allowed to rejoin at some point in the future.

Meanwhile we have become the 5th richest country in the World, some would argue on the back of EU. membership.

No, nobody could argue that. The EU has held us back.

Once we are free we can have the world's greatest bonfire of red tape and turn ourselves into a tiger economy.
