From this is money.

"The deal with Europe, be it on Canada terms or Australia terms, will do some harm in the short term, because disruption is always damaging.

So the trick will be to make sure that it brings benefits in the long run, which rationally it can certainly do.

We can already see some of the impact because disruption from the virus has forced companies to shorten supply lines.

So they buy from UK producers rather than European ones. That choice is available to us too.

Have you noticed the sprouting of union flags on UK produce in the supermarkets? If you believe in supporting domestic suppliers, you know what to do.

There are many areas where this change of direction will need government support.

Take foreign students, hugely important to our universities. There has been a rush of EU students this autumn because new students next year will have to pay international fees, much higher than the UK ones.

So there will have to be a push to get global ones, and the new two-year work visa for them is a really bright idea. Being a magnet for talent is a good slogan for any country.

The City has to grow by looking outwards, and it is encouraging that the authorities are already trying to figure out ways in which it can benefit.

Rishi Sunak has set out plans on how to boost the UK's position in financial services.

These include allowing European financial institutions to operate in the UK whatever Europe decides about UK ones operating there, boosting cross-border fund management, a business that has been slipping away.

The Chancellor also wants to encourage high-tech companies to list on the London stock market.

Another thing that needs to be done is to find ways of changing pension fund controls so they can put more money into productive investments.

Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey spoke about that last week.

Having a savvy Chancellor is fine, but the Treasury does not intuitively understand the City in the way the Bank does.

This new direction for the economy is a reset that is forced upon us by a string of different things: Brexit and the virus, of course; but also environmental concerns, the shift of the global economy to Asia and a world of zero interest rates.

The good news is the UK has an interesting hand of cards to play – we just have to play it judiciously."

What are you doing reading the on line version of the Morning Star ? !!. Would be interesting to see their readers reaction had they stopped interest payments on their ISAs to help capitalise the banks - just in case.

I will put my shirt on one thing. When the tax grenades start getting lobbed in the number of people admitting to being in favour of lockdowns will be in short supply and Mr Sunak may find his popularity takes a slight dip and the govts will bomb with Captain Chaos and his crew leading the dive. Public sector workers on full pay for a year of doing not much are the first to complain about a pay freeze - Teachers predictably at the top. A golden opportunity for the union barons to preen on centre stage. The only thing in slight doubt is whether Captain Chaos goes down with ship or is forced to walk the plank first.

Every person with a brain knows that the only way to get back to normal is via people investing .if they do not then we are going into a long depression

[utrickytrees] 22/11/2020 09:22

These new green initiatives are way too bullish and a clear example of a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Take central heating....we will all be encouraged to ultra insulate our homes so that they are hermetically sealed boxes and then run low voltage storage heaters to keep them warm, Can u image what that's going to be like if you've got a dog that farts or a cold...without adequate ventilation our homes will become breeding grounds for viruses & dry rot. Cant beat a roaring fire imo.

If they hit investors then the country will get worse not better Private investors will pull out .If he does hit capital gains then he is out to destroy capitalism'

[scruff1] 22/11/2020 09:00

Capital Gains being high on the hit list

Didn't Trump say to his supporters they should vote twice?...




Two candidates respectively received above 70 millions of votes, both candidates break all previous records... something which never happens in USA election history.


One thing is for sure.. Trump's votes are real!!

John Redwood@johnredwood1hThis week we need a bold plan for prosperity and growth. More tax rises and 600 pages of possible legal text from the EU would damage us more and hold us back. Let's cut taxes and invest in a great independent future.

Cheshire no luck mate Trump lasted longer than he should.

[k38] 22/11/2020 04:11

It's over!


"Trump congratulates his opponent sleeping Joe.."


After the break, the next part of the comedy.... "How long Biden will be president of America"




Also there is a third part...."Kamala Harris making history "
The first African Amerikan woman president of the United states of America?




I will not bet on that!


Lol......

RE: " Bob how is Scotland "..

" you still have that strange women as your first minister "

Sturgeon is the second "SINISTER"

I've yet to see one single Minister in the UK, who hasn't golden threads stitched into the establishments strings.....how to people think they got the title.

These so called Ministers are just, puppets preaching from mountain tops and never, ever risk their weasel careers being EXCLUDED/KICKED OUT of the establishments inner circle, where the spoils of nations shared.

I don't trust Johnson,
Farage gets my vote

No way for Lloyds to pay dividends early next year. They have no reason to rush to pay cash out so they will choose the right time which is middle of next year to one off by the end of the year.

[k38] 21/11/2020 23:30

Bob how is Scotland.. you still have that strange woman as your first minister?You are very slow. We send ours home long ago.. lol

[scruff1] 21/11/2020 22:56

So divis to resume early next year at reduced level. Bloody cheek being told not to pay them in the first place. Bit like PHE telling people lockdown needs to continue. Like Mrs Thatcher once said ' advisers job is to advise. Politicians job is to make the decisions'. Too many folk in this country telling others what to do. Dangerous imo stuffing investors who are one part of the foundations of a free market enterpris economy. But the Bailey probably doesnt believe in it anyway
