The European Court of Auditors has pointed out that half the EU's climate change expenditure was actually spent on farm subsidies.

No more dishonest people have ever lived than those running the EU. Getting out will go down to history as one of the best things this country ever did.

The UK internal marketBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JULY 21, 2020The government has recently issued a White Paper setting out how the UK's single market and customs union will work as we leave the EU's single market and customs union.The legal powers for our single market stem from the original laws and terms of the Union, and from the removal of the EU powers under the EU Withdrawal Act. The White Paper reminds us of the fundamental principles of the UK market, which rests on the principle that any company can supply goods and services throughout the UK. High standards will be maintained by UK laws and regulations.The government proposes "enshrining the principle of mutual recognition into law" ensuring regulations are recognised across the UK. It also wishes to repeat in law the principle of non discrimination so companies can trade freely throughout the UK.These issues will be contested by the SNP. Ever keen to bind us into common rules and laws with the EU in the name of their single market, they will doubtless oppose similar rules and regulations at UK level. Given their belief that they needed the common rules to carry on selling into the EU, they should be more worried about their ability to sell into the rest of the UK and grateful for legal reassurance offered by the Union government. Scotland sells more to the rest of the UK than to the rest of world together and more than to the whole EU of course.The government needs to ask how much legislation it actually needs to continue these trading practises and principles, that pre dated our membership of the EU.The government is offering more powers to devolved Administrations as we reclaim powers from the EU. As the White Paper says they will respect devolution, ensuring the devolved administrations "receive powers over many more policy areas than they currently hold as part of the EU, whilst ensuring that all intra UK trade remains frictionless". There will be transfers of power in 160 policy areas, whilst ensuring common frameworks to keep the single market together.How much further would you go with devolution? How should the government respond to an SNP that wishes to use these issues to drive a wedge into the Union?

?Emergency powers are needed to protect public health. But authorities need to use them in a transparent, proportionate and lawful way, to protect our democracy in the long run.Right now we're experiencing a huge loss of liberty in this country with breath-taking new emergency powers that could last years..Silkie Carlo, Director of Big Brother Watch said in an interview with The New York Times: (Link)"These are eye-watering powers that would have not been really imaginable in peacetime in this country before,"(Britain will) swing from crisis to crisis, health panic to health panic, and then find that we've lost."We risk easily finding ourselves in a perpetual state of emergency."There are serious threats to our freedoms ahead. It's precisely now that we have to hold on to our values and protect them stronger than ever before.At Big Brother Watch, we're working non-stop to make sure that these extraordinary times don't lead us to a perpetual state of emergency. With your support, we won't stop until we're reunited with our hard-won liberties. Big Brother Watch Team

We should put tariffs on all European flights (£25) to spend on in projects to promote tourism in England & Wales. (Fk Scotland).

They're gonna join the EU Maxidi. Sturgeons told Macron that once theyve off loaded England & Wales, they'll be in a position to be significant nett contributors to EU. Shes already had a mock up of the jock euro done, it's her in platform shoes & a tartan headband like one of the bay city rollers.

The reasons for which Johnson will be remembered by history are not mutually exclusive but cumulative. He is and was responsible for Brexit, his administration has been responsible for the deaths of more people from Covid 19 than any other European nation and he will be responsible for the break-up of the Union. About as far from Churchill as it is possible to get.

George Orwell wrote that "a British Tory will defend self-determination in Europe and oppose it in India with no feeling of inconsistency". The same can be said today of a Brexit Tory (ie most of them) demanding self-determination for Britain but denying it to Scotland, with no feeling of inconsistency.

"OUR MONEY"
"OUR PEOPLE"

Please define both. Is there a snapshot in time?

How does allowing a national asset to be sold off to Arabs on the cheap to be used as a decade long cash cow differ from writing a cheque to improve transport infrastructure in Budapest?

[gaffer73] 20/7/2020 21:15

Can't see a banking crisis coming tbh. Government backed loans and stress tests have avoided that possibility. That said I expect the next results and the following to be bad, not crisis bad, but bad.
