It's stupid from UK point of view to give an inc to Brussels demands. We need a clear sheet and keep Brussels away from British waters for good.



The future belongs to UK.

Why is it "chaotic British split"?

... the government and the UK political class more generally still don't understand the strategic economics behind Brexit. There is a widespread misconception that there is a massive difference between the economic impact of no deal and of the kind of limited free trade deal that is under discussion. In fact, as we have previously argued, the benefits from a deal in terms of trade barriers are quite modest – and almost certainly offset by the greater freedom of action in areas like tax and regulation.The UK political class also remains entranced by the notion that 'access' to the EU market is key for UK prosperity. It is not widely known that UK goods exports to the EU have been stagnant, in volume terms, for nearly two decades, while UK exports of goods to the rest of the world have risen by 75% (see Chart 1).Nor is it understood that the steady decline in the EU's share of UK trade is going to continue, and probably accelerate, over the next two decades. This will be the result of higher trade barriers with the EU but much more importantly, of markets in the rest of the world growing far faster than EU markets. The EU will account for just 5-6% of world growth to 2040. The share of UK goods exports going to the EU may be as low as 30% by then, despite geographical proximity.Moreover, with services now over half of UK exports and even less bound by economic geography (over 60% of UK services exports are already to non-EU destinations), the share of total UK exports of goods and services to the UK will be even lower. Note any UK trade deal with the EU is likely to do very little for services over and above WTO rules.A trade deal with the EU will thus become increasingly less valuable over time for the UK – especially given the onerous strings that will be attached to it. And those strings will cause massive problems long before we get to 2040.The biggest area of problems will be the 'level playing field' conditions the EU is insisting on. Not only is the EU insisting on 'non regression' from existing standards in areas like the environment, labour and tax policy, but it is also demanding a 'ratchet clause' whereby if the EU changes its rules in these areas, the UK could be penalised with tariffs if it fails to follow suit. The EU also demands the right to unilaterally decide if such divergences have occurred and react to them without independent arbitration. Note that this might also include the ECJ deciding to 'reinterpret' existing rules, not just consider new ones.This set of demands amounts to an attempt to lock the UK into backdoor dynamic alignment with a massive area of EU regulations. It is also a recipe for endless disputes as the UK and EU fall out over interpreting changes to rules in these areas and what might be appropriate remedies. Over time, such disputes and associated trade 'retaliation' would whittle away the value of a free trade deal. Anyone who thinks a deal with the EU will create sufficient 'goodwill' that such regulatory attacks on the UK won't happen is being very unrealistic.... Briefings for Britain

Rumour confirmed today.

Prominent Brexiteer Radcliffe confirmed today he would take over Hambach, a Daimler facility close to the border with Germany.

“Hambach presented us with a unique opportunity that we simply could not ignore: to buy a modern automotive manufacturing facility with a world-class workforce,” Ratcliffe, who is Ineos group chairman, said in a statement.

The Grenadier will enter production late next year and as part of the deal, Ineos will also continue to make the smart EQ fortwo vehicle and some Mercedes-Benz components totalling roughly 1,300 jobs at the site in France.

The company said it was won over by the location due to its proximity to the border with Germany, giving access to supply chains and target markets among other factors.


Radcliffe had said that Wales was the place. Radcliffe has also left the shores for Monaco.

Barnier warns chances of Brexit deal 'very slim' as splits erupt with VDL in EU's top team


MICHEL Barnier has warned there is a "very slim" chance of securing a Brexit trade and security deal in the coming days, according to EU sources.

The Brussels diplomat delivered a “very negative” assessment of the wrangling with Britain to a video conference of European affairs, one insider said. The Frenchman urged member states to brace for a no-deal outcome and increase their contingency planning. According to an EU diplomat familiar with the discussions, Mr Barnier said: “We are close to the moment of needing urgent measures... a contingency plan for no deal.

“The foundation of our future cooperation with the UK is more important than the rush. We cannot sacrifice our long-term interests for short-term political goals.”
The diplomat said Mr Barnier’s gloomy outlook was fuelled by concerns that Ursula von der Leyen could relax the bloc’s so-called level playing field demands to clinch a deal.
The Commission President is set to hold showdown talks with Boris Johnson later this week to thrash out the outstanding issues in the trade talks.
UK Brexit envoy Lord Frost was today hammering out the final details before the crunch meeting.

No deal at any price!We vote to maintain control of our borders of our waters our taxes, our laws...these principles of independence ( red lines ) are must be respected by EU side or not deal at any price.
