Leave was not advocating No Deal.

That is a moron’s wishful thinking or assumption.

Nice try, but intelligent folk do not buy your BS. ;)

A good deal for both parties Or No Deal.The referendum was about leaving the EU. We already had a deal for 40 year or so. Theresa May agreed to a catastrophic deal.The country vote for the conservatives to rule. The conservatives vote Boris as their leader and he will deliver the will of the people!

Where is Mr Johnson's democratic mandate for a no-deal Brexit on 31 Oct?

It's not from the 2016 referendum, as the Leave campaign was advocating leave with a deal.

It's not from the 90,000 Conservative party members who elected him leader and thus PM, as these citizens form just 0.2% of the electorate.

It's not from the HoC, which voted against a no-deal Brexit during the indicative votes in March.

Doesn't all this make Dominic Cummings into the sort of "unelected official" that the brexiters complain about?

Hypocritical scum.

BREXIT FACTS4EU.ORG SUMMARYVAT and duties on what we all bought, sent to the EU in the tax year ended Apr 2019VAT payments to the EU - £3.14bnCustoms payments to the EU - £2.64bnGrand total : £5.78 billion?© Brexit Facts4EU.Org - click to enlargeNOTE: This £5.78 billion forms part of the grand total of £11.2 billionwhich the Treasury describes as the UK's "net contributions" to the EU in the latest tax year.This grand total does not of course include the "off-budget" contributions which the UK sent to the EU last year, on which we have reported many times.What happens to the VAT you pay on goods and services?We all have to pay VAT on the goods and services we buy. The standard rate in the UK is currently 20% and this is remitted by suppliers to HMRC in their quarterly VAT declarations. The EU then takes a proportion of the VAT paid by UK consumers via what it describes as "a complex statistical process".In the Treasury's latest figures for the tax year 2018/2019the total for the UK in VAT payments was £3.14bn.This £3.14 billion was then included in the Treasury's totals for what the UK sent to the EU in the tax year ended Apr 2019.In effect, every time you buy something you are doing your bit to help the EU. To put it another way, if everyone in the UK bought twice as much, then the EU would benefit by another £3.14 billion.

The contractor will need to resolve the issue . As NHS Lothian will not except handover off hospital, the contractor saying it was handed over . They will find as I suspect with what happened on the Aberdeen bypass , the contractors will be held to their obligations . The old rolling snag list and over budget government projects are finished . The contractors are finding out short cuts are no longer acceptable .

"The health secretary said NHS Lothian told her it would not take ownership of the building until it was "absolutely assured" those steps had been taken.
Contractor Multiplex previously said its work was signed off as complete by an independent certifier on 22 February, when it handed over the building to NHS Lothian."

Jack LeaverPosted August 4, 2019 at 11:42 am |PermalinkThe Remaniacs want a federal Europe and see the UK as an integral part which is needed to fund the project and bail out the Euro when it hits the buffers. They are determined to sacrifice UK sovereignty and economic independence to achieve this goal and they will do all they can to prevent the UK from leaving the EU.

No doubt they'll blame the English. It wouldn't have happened if they had another referendum on independence. ?

SNP Health Minister under pressure over claims Scotland's new £150 million children's hospital may never open

The SNP's Health Minister is under pressure to order an inquiry into a growing safety scandal at Scotland's delayed new children's hospital amid claims it may have to be ripped down.

Opposition parties said Jeane Freeman must agree an investigation into new allegations there are major problems with the Edinburgh Royal Hospital for Children and Young People's drainage, in addition to ventilation issues that have delayed its opening.

Tam Waterson, a senior union official representing Edinburgh NHS staff, claimed the £150 million hospital may even have to be torn down and Ms Freeman was the worst Health Minister he has dealt with.

He described Ms Freeman as being "cold" and having "no empathy",...

Trading under WTO rulesBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JANUARY 10, 2019There is a lot of confusion and deliberate misinformation about trading under the WTO. Here are some facts that might help.1. All our current trade is under the WTO, as the EU is a member. The UK will become a full member with vote and voice as soon as we leave the EU, as we never surrendered our membership when we joined the EU.2. There is no WTO schedule of tariffs that automatically comes in. Each member of the WTO files its own tariff schedule and trades with anyone under that who wish to trade. The WTO requires a member to trade with any other member on the same terms, unless there is an approved Free Trade Agreement that exempts the countries from the common tariff of the Schedules. A country is always free unilaterally to cut or remove tariffs.3. If a country's trading terms are disputed by another member there is a dispute resolution procedure. A dispute does not stop trading under the published terms whilst the dispute is being resolved.4. The EU does not have Free Trade Agreements with the USA, China, Brazil etc so we trade successfully with them at the moment under WTO rules and under the tariff schedule set by the EU. Once out we can sign Free Trade deals with these countries removing these tariffs, or could cut some of the tariffs unilaterally any time we wanted to make imports cheaper.5. The so called side deals the EU has with these countries are mainly unimportant or unrelated to trade. Some are multilateral agreements that the UK has signed anyway.6.The one agreement we currently have through the EU that may be important, the General Procurement Agreement, gives us access to public procurement opportunities in signatory states, and gives them the same access to the UK. The WTO has now agreed the UK will be a member of that Agreement in our own right on departure from the EU.7. The EU has free trade agreements with a number of mainly smaller countries. The top five, Switzerland, Canada, Korea, Norway and Turkey account for three quarters of the exports involved. Switzerland, for example, has agreed to continue all current preferences with the UK as well as with the rest of the EU on our exit. No country with an FTA with the EU has indicated any wish to terminate the agreement with the UK once we leave. Transferring the current deal to both the remaining EU and to the UK is a relatively straightforward process.8. The WTO does not require us to impose new checks at borders or delay imports into the UK. They recommend risk based checks. As the risks of EU product will not go up the day we leave the EU there is no requirement to impose new difficult checks.9. If the UK and the EU agree to negotiate a free trade agreement once the UK has left the EU on March 29 this year, we could agree to impose no tariffs on each other and would get WTO consent to not impose them pending the negotiation of a full free trade agreement.Peter Lilley has published a good pamphlet with Global Britain and Labour Leave setting out more detail called "30 Truths about leaving on WTO terms"
