John Redwood@johnredwood·4hThe EU sounds rattled and is making idle threats. Time to look after its citizens and companies who want to trade easily with an independent U.K.

Mitchy,
Oil price wont rise enough to feed through to inflation,and the technological advances/robotics/AI are all deflationary...
Inflation wont budge for 1-2 years.
Despite Govts best attempts to get it to(Debt value erosion)

Zero chance of interest rates rising.

Self-flagellating Remainers are finally seeing the error of their ways

It’s certainly something taxing the likes of Peter Mandelson, who seems to be decrying his own contributions to polarising the Brexit debate, claiming in a recent Guardian op-ed that a hard Brexit may prove the "price the rest of us in the pro-EU camp will pay for trying, in the years following 2016, to reverse the referendum decision rather than achieve the least damaging form of Brexit."

His old boss Tony has also been reflecting on the ugliness of the post-referendum years, when mobs of full grown adults dressed like students on rag week and harangued interviewees on College Green.

A tacit understanding that the rabid rantings of Remainers not only alienated much of Westminster from the rest of the country, but drowned out the ‘soft’ Brexit voices.

Even better than being able to say ‘I told you so’ is watching your adversaries have to say it to themselves.

Crazi,

Plenty of positive news out there.

More QE is coming, both in US, Europe, and UK so the stockmarket/Bond market bubble will continue a bit longer.

There are now numerous Covid-19 vaccines on the market so next year recovery will surely arise and things will get back to normal(Cough,they wont)

England won the T20 cricket agaisnt saffies

Food shortages coming next year mean a huge drop in Obesity(and obesity related diseases)

A massive falling Flu/Influenza cases this winter are due because all the precautions being taken directly impact on how people catch the flu/influenza so less stress on NHS.

Christmas is coming - a time for giving and sharing, of overindulging in roast turkey/Pork/Lamb,the full trimmings and copious amounts of booze.....

And the Christmas repeats on telly - year 15. All for which we pay a forced telly licence for!!!


See, plenty ot be positive about!!!!

They, the EUSSR are trying to treat the U.K like dirt. That is now. It absolutely confirms what they are like. Absolutely means we have to be fully OUT of any of their clutches. Note the word clutches. Laws etc. There is no going back after this. No. No. No.No Deal.WTO.Liberty

Van de Leyden's speech at GMT 10:00 looking at a co-operative No Deal scenario rallied some UK stocks, not so much here. Now it's been digested it may start to retreat again as not significant.

Don't forget that one of the airlines has already redomiciled to Austria.

oil prices going up isn't good news. It will increase inflation and as a consequence rates then the sheet really hits the fan.Oil price ...zero

[alex1621] 11/12/2020 11:15

That is right ... planes can fly for 6 months and we will fish your waters for 12 months ... succeeding mightily?

[alex1621] 11/12/2020 11:13

By the look of the share price Brexit's going well ... not!

[alphorn] 11/12/2020 11:06

lef - Good to read. It saddens me to read the BofE comments today. IMO it would have been better to say nothing. (Copy on my thread).


edit: I see that crazi has put it up on the other Lloy thread.

[geckotheglorious] 11/12/2020 11:02

Anyone recall those lying Remainers telling us a no deal would result in "Planes not flying" or "trucks would stop rolling"

From the horses mouth:

"The bloc published its plan on Wednesday for how it will keep planes in the sky and trucks rolling in the event of no deal — something chief negotiator Michel Barnier had long resisted. Is this a sign the EU has now made the mental adjustment to the prospect of Britain leaving without a deal?"


So even with a NO DEAL these will not arise. As Brexiteers said would be the case to much Remoaner ridicule.

Remainers are lying scum.

And have been shown to have been lying scum numerous times now. But when you have to sell an IDEA (The EU) by promulgating fear about the consequences of leaving, rather than the positives of staying, is anyone surprised Remain lied so much???

Exports are very sensitive to exchange rates, I recall back in the mid 90's supplying a handful of drivers to a UK international haulier, this was when the rate hovered between 1.24 and 1.28 Euro to the £. Being in their operations room one day it was demonstrated to me that as soon as the £ dropped below E1.26, the phones would start to ring, as European customers began placing orders for the soft commodities that the haulier mostly carried. Once the £ went back over E1.28, the business dried up. A surprisingly small variation in the exchange rate, had a swift reaction upon the trade of goods.

Your £ short will be having a good day today Alp.

There is just no positive news at all out there at the moment...other than the oil price is recovering well and if you got the IPO shares for airbnb...

EU Warns No Deal Is Likeliest Outcome of Talks:

Brexit Update
By Thomas Penny, John Follain, and Ian Wishart
11 December 2020, 09:07 GMT Updated on 11 December 2020, 10:38 GMT

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that a no-deal split with the U.K. is the likeliest outcome on Dec. 31 as last-ditch talks to try to reach a deal before Sunday continue in Brussels.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s pleas for European Union leaders to step in and salvage the faltering trade negotiations were frustrated as summit talks overran on Thursday night, pushing Brexit to the fringes. On Friday, von der Leyen spent just 10 minutes briefing government leaders on the subject.

On Thursday, Johnson warned U.K. businesses and the public to prepare for the “strong possibility” of a no-deal split. Both sides have said they will continue discussions until Sunday, but officials concede that, without fresh political direction, the negotiating teams will have little to talk about.

M2 - I am sitting in my lounge and watching the snow fall. I also sent notes to Waldron (FROG thread) as see across the lake what is happening on the French side. I am sure that you have a different view unless I have a new neighbour! We know that MM2 is a fairy......or at least believes in them. ;))

I think if Brexiters are happy to take pain they should be given a new tax code that pays tax into a fund that subsidizes those that stand to lose financially and bureaucratically.

My daughter could tap into it when applying for travel and jobs in the EU.

[minerve 2] 11/12/2020 10:44

Oh dear, we better not post at similar times to each other Alphorn as MM2 might strengthen his belief that we are the same person. :)
