x5 - you are likely to lose on your continued fixation.

You may not actually lose anything because I doubt that you do anything other than cut & paste text.

In today's brief: Downing Street calm EU optimism as fisheries becomes the last big obstacle to a deal. Meanwhile, the UK's Defence Secretary vows to use the Navy to protect UK fishing boats if French blockade the Channel while Boulogne deputy threatens to open the borders to migrants to put pressure on Britain.EU optimism as fisheries the last big issue: Progress on the level playing field has been driving more optimism in recent days with the UK and EU confirming that they have the "architecture" in place for a deal on one of the most contentious areas. Ursula von der Leyen said there has been "movement" on the principles of the issue and that negotiators were now working on the "details". Barnier was also more optimistic, telling ambassadors that fisheries was now the last big obstacle.No 10 warn EU over inaccurate briefings: Downing Street were more downbeat about the prospects of a deal having become irritated by Barnier's suggestion that the government was preparing a fisheries climb down. "There is simply no truth in the idea that we have backtracked," said a Downing Street source. "The inaccurate briefings from the EU side in recent days have made a difficult discussion even more challenging in the short period of time we have left."Both Parliaments sidelined as talks drag on: Clément Beaune, the French Brexit minister, said that talks needed to finish this week if an agreement was to enter into force on New Year's Day as Britain leaves the single market and customs union, but Germany prefers to allow talks to have as much time as possible, causing internal friction. With only 16 days left till the end of the transition period, senior officials on both sides have conceded that both parliaments will have little time to scrutinise and ratify any potential agreement. In Brussels, members are furious that they will be asked to rubber-stamp a deal at the last minute and that some basic legal requirements such as translating the agreement into the EU's 23 official languages looks likely to be missed. The EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, told the Parliament's UK Coordination Group on Monday that if Brussels and London reach a deal this week, that deal could be approved by EU countries by December 27 and afterward be sent to Parliament for ratification but that Britain would have to compromise over fish for this to be possible.Fisheries talks proving very difficult: On the issue of fish, the Telegraph say that sources have admitted that Britain could pay compensation to French fishermen as part of the deal but the Times say this idea has now been rejected and now another option for limited tariffs so that British fish, and not general goods, sold in the EU market would face retaliatory tariffs as EU fishermen's access is phased out. Some reports suggest that on day one, Britain would allow the French to keep 50% of their current quotas and this would diminish over time. If there is no deal however, Britain will take full control of its waters on January 1st.Navy will be sent in if French blockade Channel, says Defence Sec: Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has vowed to use the Navy to protect British fishing boats "going about their lawful business" after French fishermen threatened to blockade the Channel if there is no deal. Wallace warned that Britain was ready for "whatever is the challenge on January 1st"."When it comes to a Brexit deal whatever that is, it is no secret that we would use our military to help support in logistics or anything else as required by other departments - we only do things at the request of civilians. If they ask for help we will give it," he added. Following recent talk of the Navy repelling foreign vessels that attempt to illegally fish in British waters, French fishermen said they would respond to being shut out by stopping ferries carrying vital goods from entering ports. Normandy fisheries committee boss Dimitri Rogoff said: "If we are deprived of our fishing grounds, we will not watch the British supply the French market. There will therefore be blockages to ferries, since this mainly happens by ferries. And on that, we are quite clear and determined."Wallace insisted he was not making a threat but just protecting UK shores "like any other European seaborne nation".French threaten Britain with open borders: The deputy of Boulogne, a key French fishing port, has threatened to open up the border to migrants in an attempt to intimidate Britain over fisheries. "France must stop control of migrants on their way to Great Britain. Let the British manage," he said. "At least their warships will be useful for something rather than shooting at our fishermen."Local firms to benefit from procurement shake-up: Councils, schools and hospitals will be able to limit bids for contracts to local businesses as part of a post-Brexit overhaul which will encourage them to "buy British." It comes after Mr Johnson last year declared that he would use Brexit to deliver a "bonfire" of procurement-related red tape and ensure that the public sector "backs British business". The government will look to encourage the public sector to back bidders that will have a wider economic benefit for local communities rather than going for cheaper ones from overseas. Cabinet Office minister Lord Agnew said that Brexit had handed the UK the "opportunity to design a public procurement system that truly works for the United Kingdom." He added that the reforms will "reduce red tape, level the playing field for small businesses and ensure taxpayers get better value for money. Leaving the EU allows us to bring forward substantial plans to redesign our regulations to guarantee the maximum benefit for the public sector and the UK economy."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.

Green Party delays vote on EU-Canada trade deal Ceta


Brian Mahon
Tuesday December 15 2020, 12.01am, The Times


Justin Trudeau concluded the deal with the EU three years ago but it has not yet been ratified

A Dáil vote to approve a controversial EU-Canada trade deal will not happen today after government parties agreed to postpone it until January.

The motion to ratify the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (Ceta) was due to take place today at 4pm. The trade deal removes most barriers to imports between the EU and Canada. It has been ratified by some EU member states, but has faced opposition in Ireland. The Green Party had campaigned against the trade agreement in opposition.

Covid surcharge at nhs dentists started yesterday - 5% on everything. Straight to the gov to pay for covid, none of the extra goes to the dentist.

Does anyone actually pay for nhs dentists these days? Most seem to get it for free like prescriptions, and those able to pay go private i should imagine.

Anyhow, probably everything will be up with a 5% covid surcharge soon i expect

Boris Johnson will launch a post-Brexit trade drive with a trip to India next month, it was announced today.

The PM has accepted an invitation from PM Narendra Modi as he vowed to bang the drum for 'Global Britain'.

It is expected to be Mr Johnson's first major trip after the transition period with the EU ends on December 31, and is a signal of intent to boost the UK's wider ties around the world.

The premier has also invited India, Australia and South Korea to attend the G7 summit of powerful nations in the UK next summer.

Mr Johnson said: 'I am absolutely delighted to be visiting India next year at the start of an exciting year for Global Britain, and look forward to delivering the quantum leap in our bilateral relationship that Prime Minister Modi and I have pledged to achieve.

'As a key player in the Indo-Pacific region, India is an increasingly indispensable partner for the United Kingdom as we work to boost jobs and growth, confront shared threats to our security and protect our planet.'

India is seen as a key strategic partner for the UK as it looks to forge a new path after cutting ties with Brussels.

Mr Johnson will be the first PM since John Major to attend annual Republic Day event as Guest of Honour.

It is his first major bilateral visit since entering No10 - although much of that time has been dominated by the coronavirus pandemic.

Downing Street said Mr Johnson would use the trip to boost cooperation in trade and investment, defence and security, and health and climate change.

The UK-India trade relationship is worth around £24billion a year, and is said to support around half a million jobs."

Couldn't find it on the beeb..

max - gave a smile!

I shall still go for the vaccine - probably starting late January over here for the general population. There will also be some experience of side effects and drug interactions by then too.

No data readily available as to the speed of vaccinations in the UK that I can find. There must be more than the one we saw in the media?!

Haven't seen the cabinet having it either.

Ivermectin is science. And the prepare your terrain is basic biology!

Why are Asians generally not suffering as much as us?

They aren't as overweight.
They eat healthier, smaller portions
They tend to eat less processed food.
And they vigorously purse suitable hygiene!

I don't watch UK mainstream television - Amazon prime/Netflix on demand mostly these days.
Big fan of Paxman though...

Sick of the PC adverts is main reason. Every advert has to have a black, nearly every advert has to have a mixed couple.

UK - 85% white. Not reflected on tv adverts at all..sick of the biased PC agenda.
