"to pay about £35 bn pa in extra costs, (on EU figures)"

Extra costs over what exactly?

[grahamite2] 20/1/2020 10:17

EU rules ... force 96% of UK companies, about 5,400,000, who have no EU trade, to pay about £35 bn pa in extra costs, (on EU figures).

Just the point I was making yesterday.

We may yet be astonished at just how good leaving the EU is for us. We'll wonder why the hell we put up with it for so long.

Jeremy Corbyn's plan to send John Bercow to the House of Lords comes under fire from protégé Rebecca Long-Bailey







Amy Jones, political correspondent
19 JANUARY 2020 • 6:25PM



Jeremy Corbyn’s plan to elevate former speaker John Bercow to the House of Lords has been dealt a blow by his favoured successor Rebecca Long-Bailey.

The Labour leadership candidate indicated she did not support the decision, with a spokesperson saying she was instead in favour of “abolishing” the second chamber and replacing it with a “democratically elected Senate outside of London”.

Mr Bercow was accused of bullying by former staffers while in office and became the first holder of his role in 230 years not to be offered a peerage upon resigning last year.

David James 20 Jan 2020 8:26AMFoster's boring EU propaganda. Even labelling it a "fair" and "level" playing field is nonsense. In effect each UK family must pay £1,200 extra in higher prices from 15,000 EU External tariffs. To subsidise EU waste and protectionism.Cover for EU blocking UK competitiveness, and control of UK consumers with rules, quotas and 15,000 tariffs to subsidise inefficient greedy EU economies.EU nonsense of unwanted EU rules was to advantage big German industry. They force 96% of UK companies, about 5,400,000, who have no EU trade, to pay about £35 bn pa in extra costs, (on EU figures).The UK has no choice but diverge sharply from EU rules. They have made the EU crash into negative growth. The UK must leave as 90% of all future growth will be in non EU regions. The EU will stagnate at best.The EU is sinking in crisis. Even Merkel says the rules must be more competitive.

think SME are going to struggle with the red tape e.g

You need an EORI number to move goods into or out of the EU (including the UK).If you do not get one, you may have increased costs and delays. For example, if HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) cannot clear your goods you may have to pay storage fees.

err close up shop

I do like the 70p to 84p bit though.

Have to say Min, Liverpool are so far ahead and everyone else so inconsistent that's its going to be embarrassing. We can let the scousers have their moment I am sure they will make the most of it.Yawn. Enjoyed the day though, few beers and all that.

Withdrawl of the supermarkets , all good longer term . Not easy to finance a loan business nowadays , leaving only the super players .

Still see it as a negative , when last player in a town , they are still closing the branch . Poor CEO descision imho.

PPI will rattle one more time Pete , but surely the death rattle . Again CEO not controlled that very well.

In truth think he needs to go .

[sentimentrules] 19/1/2020 23:57

Yes better out there. Indices all diverging on the rise though. Money leaving during it. Not sure if it's profit taking or a general exit but bank sector right on the ledge . Needs a rise this week to avoid prolonged downturn

[cheshire pete] 19/1/2020 23:53

LLOY results soon, something to look forward to maybe SR...but what about PPI? Finally purged or still a few gremlins in the mix. No idea, but then does anyone else lol. Invested much more heavily elsewhere.

[sentimentrules] 19/1/2020 23:42

Hello. This the right board ?

Yes Bob, worked with BSs for years, latterly BSENs before EU Codes introduced. At the time it was dressed up as progress and we were brainwashed into believing it. Other agendas behind the scenes of course and looking back now, symptomatic of us being sucked into the EU political union.

[maxk] 19/1/2020 21:01

I do bob. A org you could trust.

[bargainbob] 19/1/2020 20:44

Bsi member Maxk :-)

[maxk] 19/1/2020 20:27

There you are then. bob's on the job, all safe, no need for the €uro's !

[bargainbob] 19/1/2020 20:11

Bob will ensure the standards , part of his job Pete .

[cheshire pete] 19/1/2020 20:06

Minerve: If all countries in the EU accept the standards why can't a British person

Are we gods that demand to be different?

In all this talk about UK diverging from EU standards as we leave the EU the premise would seem that UK standards are somehow inferior or less demanding than the EU's. Is there any substantiation for this assumption and is it not the case that UK standards are actually superior, and that the real issue is that the UK will be set free from the burdensome red tape of the EU. This is what the EU is really frightened of but with their usual spin they're dressing it up as something more sinister.

In an interview last week Mrs Merkel, the German Chancellor, was very revealing. Although she didn't quite use these words, she is concerned that, shorn of EU rules and regulations, the UK could become something like Singapore-on-Thames. How will the EU respond to this threat?robert lund 19 Jan 2020 7:22PMThe EU has been an economic failure, dragging the UK down with it. The little EUers and UK remainers are living in the past .  Quivering in fear behind s a protectionist wall is suicidal in thr 21st. Century . The so called "wonderful single market " has seen the EU share of world trade drop by 50 %. What is so wonderful about it ?We are getting out just in time.The EU is doomed.Daily Telegraph
