Senior EU officials are clear that any EU-UK trade agreement will not be ratified by the European Parliament this December unless the UK drops the offending clauses from the internal market bill that legally overwrite the obligations to implement the protocol on Northern Ireland.

FT Reporter suggesting positive noises from UK officials on Brexit talks

Officials with knowledge of the talks say a landing zone on state aid has been identified but “fishing is the last sticking point. We both have to jump together.”

The mood in Whitehall as “cautiously optimistic” but insiders warn “it’s going to go to the brink.”

Trump is a despicable human. He'd be quite happy to see a US civil war in an attempt to stay in power.

Staunch supporter of Trump as I am, I think I might buy a "Will you shut up, man" t shirt!

Instead of dealing with the French and Chinese for our Nuclear reactors why not head to South Korea instead.

"South Korean-Built Mini Nuclear Reactors That "Won't Melt Down" Approved For US
Nikkei Asian Review reports this week that "Miniature nuclear reactors that use key components from South Korea's Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction have won first-of-its-kind certification for use in the U.S.

The nuclear plant is scheduled to come online by 2029 under the operation of Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems, with the South Korean-made small reactor modules, or SMRs, considered crucial to the cutting edge infrastructure and updated safety measures.

Each SMR unit is capable of producing 50 megawatts of power, or about 5% that of a conventional reactor. An SMR is considered a safer alternative since it can be cooled in a water tank, cutting out the risk of an accident due to problems with water pumps or the electrical source"




"As a 'faster' and 'cheaper' to install - but purportedly safer - reactor design, it could as Nikkie underscores, be "a promising antidote to the trend away from nuclear power in Western countries."


Faster/Cheaper to install and safer.

Screw the French. And the Chinese cannot be trusted Nuclear side.

After Telling Sitting President To "Shut Up, Man" - Biden Begins Selling T-Shirts

Will you shut up, man?" replied Biden, adding "This is… this is so unpresidential."




"Utter hypocrisy..."

cheshire - you are smarter than that. Nothing to do with 'leaving'. All about post 01/01/21.

[alphorn] 01/10/2020 11:36

Minerve alluded to this yesterday.

In a letter to car bosses, Britain’s chief Brexit negotiator has admitted he has failed to persuade the EU to accept the proposal – and “obviously cannot insist on it”. It means exports now face tariffs unless the majority of their value originates from the UK or EU. Typically, the figure is 'only 44 per cent' for a car assembled in the UK.

Clearly, Japan, South Korea or Turkey parts can not be treated as British.

A big issue for CKD build.

[cheshire pete] 01/10/2020 11:33

Well if anyone reads this board Alphorn, they can have my reaction lol.

No deal. No extension of implementation period either or other weasel words the lexicologists might try and fool us with...we're used to trickery after Treeza.

We've left. Get more of these trade deals with RoW up and running Boris.

[alphorn] 01/10/2020 11:23

max - in answer to your question yesterday there have been several new terms slipping into the last minute negotiations which are all about deferral of a 31/12 implementation. Testing the water to gauge reaction. As posted before all about selling to the masses.

[guss] 01/10/2020 11:23

It would be interesting to see how many people die within 28 days of having flu.
This is the measure they use for Covid.

Also, how many people die within 28 days of eating a chocolate biscuit.

Just saying, you can do lots with statistics.

No agenda or voicing an opinion, just interested.

"Flu Kills 646,000 People Worldwide Each Year: Study"


Seasonal flu kills 291,000 to 646,000 people worldwide each year, according to a new estimate that's higher than the previous one of 250,000 to 500,000 deaths a year.


"Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year"


Covid-19 deaths 1 million and counting ..................
We still have October/November/December to come.



Missed your riposte to this.
Annual Flu deaths are clear,and known.
How are they more than Covid-19?

[geckotheglorious] 01/10/2020 11:00

Spot on Cheshire Pete.

[geckotheglorious] 01/10/2020 10:59

Chavi.

Still waiting for you to show me how Flu deaths per annum are higher than Covid-19 deaths so far(and the year isnt even out for those)

[alphorn] 01/10/2020 10:58

All normal stuff at this point.

[geckotheglorious] 01/10/2020 10:58

Mitchy,

Legal action for what? Not paying a withdrawal fee?

"Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed" said Mister Barnier.

So if not FTA is agreed, no money need be forthcoming.
Why do so many of our own populace want the EU to win this stand off?

#Treason.

[cheshire pete] 01/10/2020 10:57

So EU's von Leyen is starting legal action cos Boris is tearing up the parts of the WA that keep us shackled to the EU.

Funny how having broken their own laws for years without anyone taking them to task, when it suits them they'll try it on with us.

Remainers do you still want to have any dealings with these crooked racketeers?

No deal Boris.
