What would you say is the best preparation to avoid the debt crisis?

The reason for the Single market legislationBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: SEPTEMBER 10, 2020The government's Single market Bill is a necessary piece of legislation to ensure the smooth running of the UK's single market and customs union, and to provide the base for our independent trade policy after leaving the EU single market and trade policy on January 1. At the time of the Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration the EU signed up to two important propositions. They agreed that  the core of our new relationship with them would be a free trade agreement with  no tariffs, and they would respect UK sovereignty. If the EU keeps to its promises there will be no need for the arrangements envisaged for the Irish border in  the current legislation. If they do  not pursue these promises then the UK government has the right under Clause 38 of the EU Withdrawal Act to establish control over its borders and trade, notwithstanding  the Withdrawal Agreement. This is expressly recorded in UK law. It was also clear to the EU at the time when we legislated in this way that was the UK's understanding of the Withdrawal Agreement, as we put it into primary legislation.

More likely to be a war in the Pacific imv Falklandi.
Chinese expansion,their artificial islands/anti aircraft missile silos, and aggression towards the rest of their neighbours(even Vietnam) over disputed islands likely to boot something off if Taiwan doesn't.

The International Trade Secretary confirmed the UK is seeking to become a member of a major free-trade area of Pacific nations. She met with all 11 members of CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) for the first time on Wednesday to pave the way for Britain's formal accession. Ms Truss said: "Joining CPTPP would send a powerful signal to the rest of the world that Britain is prepared to work with countries who champion free and fair trade.... Daily Express

UK's internal market bill to be debated on Sep. 14

United Kingdom's internal market bill, which aims to override parts of the Brexit agreement, will be debated by the Parliament on September 14, the government announced on Thursday.
The following stages of the bill's progression are scheduled to end on September 22.

According to Downing Street, the bill aims to allow the UK to pass regulations in certain sectors even if they contradict the withdrawal agreement signed with the European Union.
The bill states that these regulations may ignore "any other legislation, convention or rule of international or domestic law whatsoever, including any order, judgment or decision of the European court or of any other court or tribunal."

The proposal was met with condemnation in the EU, as well as concerns about the future of Northern Ireland, due to the bill's rewriting of the customs agreement related to the island of Ireland.

I think that is the issue many have, not about Hard-Brexit per se, but how it has been done. If Brexiters think the EU robbed us of democracy it has been nowhere near on the same scale as what Boris and others related to Brexit have been doing.

"And, as former Ambassador Sir Christopher Meyer reminded us yesterday, "Article 184 of the Withdrawal Agreement commits the parties to negotiate on the future relationship "in good faith and in full respect of their respective legal orders". It's more than arguable the EU is already in breach on state aids and fish. "Trust" works in both directions.""

So the EU has broken International Law, whilst the UK is merely preparing for the consequences of the EU refusing to negotiate.

G2 - if he wanted a 'real Brexit' why didn't he go straight away for a No Deal and negotiate later, if at all? Straight question.

In today's brief: Emergency EU-UK meeting over Internal Trade Bill ramifications as seventh round of trade negotiations concludes. Meanwhile, Boris announces 'Covid Marshals' amongst new restrictions and Oxford vaccine trial is set to resume.EU seek emergency meeting: Following the publication of the Government's Internal Market Bill yesterday, the UK and EU are to hold emergency talks as tensions rise. The new Bill proposes no new checks on goods moving from Northern Ireland to Great Britain, and gives UK ministers powers to modify or "disapply" rules relating to the movement of goods that will come into force from 1 January, should the UK and EU be unable to strike a trade deal.Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has defended the bill, saying it would "ensure the integrity of the UK internal market" and hand power to Scotland and Wales, while stating that extreme interpretations of the Withdrawal Agreement could put the Northern Ireland peace process at risk. Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove will meet EU official Maros Sefcovic along with Northern Ireland's first minister, Arlene Foster, and deputy first minister, Michelle O'Neill, as the EU demands "clarifications". Mr Sefcovic has said that "The Withdrawal Agreement is not open for renegotiation and we expect the letter and the spirit of the Withdrawal Agreement will be fully respected."Brussels considers legal action: According to a document seen by Bloomberg, the EU believe they may have a case to seek legal remedies under the divorce agreement before the Internal Markets Bill is even passed by the UK Parliament, and a clear justification once the bill becomes law, according to the bloc's preliminary analysis of the UK legislation.Critics fear damage to the UK's international reputation after a clumsy response by Northern Ireland minister, Brandon Lewis on Tuesday, where he said that the plans would breach international law in "a very specific and limited way".Yesterday, Number 10 issued a fresh line of defence, telling the Telegraph that the withdrawal agreement had been signed "at pace" and it had always been the case that grey areas in the treaty could be clarified later on.And, as former Ambassador Sir Christopher Meyer reminded us yesterday, "Article 184 of the Withdrawal Agreement commits the parties to negotiate on the future relationship "in good faith and in full respect of their respective legal orders". It's more than arguable the EU is already in breach on state aids and fish. "Trust" works in both directions."Latest round of talks conclude: Talking of best endeavours, chief Brexit negotiators Lord Frost and EU counterpart Michel Barnier will also meet for the final day of the seventh round of negotiations on a future trade deal - with the UK government saying it is prepared to walk away if progress is not made soon. The EU is risking adding the UK to a rather long list of failed trade negotiations with major economies - the USA, China, India... but given their inflexible, ludicrous demands, that won't come as a surprise.We'll be watching the press statements closely when that meeting concludes later today. New Coronavirus restrictions: The government have announced strict new measures in an attempt to curb rising cases of COVID-19 and avoid a second lockdown. These include new rules on numbers meeting for social events, fines for venues that don't abide by safety criteria and the launch of "Covid-secure marshals" to ensure social-distancing in towns and cities. Oxford vaccine trial to resume: Trials of Oxford University's potential vaccine could resume within days, following a "temporary pause" after a British volunteer showed symptoms of transverse myelitis, a rare inflammatory condition that affects the spinal cord.A company spokesman for Astrazeneca said: "This is a routine action which has to happen whenever there is a potentially unexplained illness in one of the trials . . . in large clinical trials, illnesses will happen by chance and must be independently reviewed."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.

Fair enough Minerve.

For the average Telegraph reader, Boris has done great work on getting us a real Brexit, but he is throwing away the goodwill thus built up at a rate of knots with his fanatical and demented response to COVID.
