re 956
I dont understand the post.
Should there be no deal - does the withdrawal agreement have effect - ie - whatever is done the WA determines future rules - or does the WA only have effect in the case of a deal?
My simple mind cannot believe that if we cut the cord the EU has the right to dictate?
Should the WA attach itself to any FTA - then only the MSNs would bother talking further?

The Bash Street kids could run the country better than this lot of gross incompetents.

Again tonight (one more time ) Boris makes clear, "it's up to our friend" which means he is preparing for WTO.No deal unless their demands withdraw.

Tom Archer16 Dec 2020 4:07PMSo many hacks and commentators seem to assume that Boris is either stupid or malicious, yet he is patently neither.I believe he hated the WA with a passion, but in picking up the pieces had little option but to embrace it - albeit with a crafty bit of wording that makes it possible for parliament to unilaterally cancel it.And that, I feel certain, is his agenda - but.. he abhors being unreasonable. So he is being diligent in maintaining squeaky clean observance of it until year end, when, in the absence of any olive branches from Brussels, I expect he will publish a dossier of the EU's failure to comply with it - citing that as grounds for repeal.Thus repealed there will no longer be any regulatory separation of NI with the rest of the UK.Making parliamentary time available for the FTA between now and year end is just compliance with the 'best endeavours' clause in the WA. There is no way MPs can scrutinise, debate, and approve 1000+ pages of FTA texts in the time available now, and I expect many would rebel if asked to do so..12LikeReplyOdysseus of Ithaca16 Dec 2020 4:10PM@Tom Archer I would love to agree with you.  But Boris does seem to have been somewhat uncoordinated of late in many things.  So I am preparing to be disappointed and plan for the next steps to regain our sovereignty from the oligarchs in the Stalinist EU.1LikeReplyRoy Dean16 Dec 2020 4:22PM@Tom Archer .....hope you're right..

And now for something completely different..... something about Lloyds :-) Great news!



The surge in mortgage applications is being felt throughout the banking industry. Lloyds Banking Group PLC, the U.K.'s largest mortgage lender, has recorded its highest share of new mortgage approvals since 2008, with its open mortgage book growing by GBP3.5 billion, the equivalent of $4.7 billion, to GBP270.6 billion.

The average U.K. house price rose 7% in the 12 months to November to GBP253,243 as the British government imposed a second national lockdown to stem the spread of the virus. The average house price has risen by more than GBP15,000 since June, the strongest five-month gain since 2004, according to Halifax, a unit of Lloyds.

By the way, he didn't make clear which Mohammed will visit him.... they are almost all called Mohammeds......Lol......

[geckotheglorious] 16/12/2020 15:47

Found the former quite amusing myself...and precisely the riposte needed in the face of the latter - a clear direct threat.

The latter is unacceptable, as , indeed, are PM'd death threats.

[k38] 16/12/2020 15:44

Both posts are offensive ...Manic , can you fuk off now please this thread is not for fat butt kissing white boys......when all of ADVFN knows your name. Know when to hush your mouth imo, else you might be getting a pizza in at 3am delivered by Mohammed

Live Brexit latest news: Downing Street says no-deal still 'most likely' outcome despite Ursula von der Leyen raising hopes







Downing Street has said that leaving the Brexit transition period with no-deal remains the "most likely" outcome, despite Ursula von der Leyen saying there was a "path to an agreement".

The Prime Minister's official spokesman said that "progress" had been made in negotiations but warned "significant gaps" still remain.

"Our position is still that we want to reach an FTA (free trade agreement) but it is still the case that the most likely outcome is still leaving on Australia terms," he said.

It comes after the European Commission President sparked hopes of a deal being agreed this week, when she said in Brussels this morning that "the path may be very narrow but it is there".

Simon Foy16 December 2020 • 10:48amThe UK is drawing up plans to woo shipping companies to Britain post-Brexit as it seeks to make London into a rival of Singapore as a hub to register vessels.Plans being submitted to ministers include expanding the scope of the UK's shipping tax and regulatory regime by counting storage vessels and oil rigs as "ships" for tax purposes to attract more business, the Financial Times reported.This is currently not allowed under EU rules, and could result in more shipping companies registering their vessels under the UK flag. Unions and industry bodies have been canvassed about the reform of the industry's tonnage tax post-Brexit, with the overhaul of the UK's regime estimated to be worth £3.7bn to the economy over three years....

Alphorn, What'sApp is very big among Conservative MPs and Boris undoubtedly knows how to use it.

What does make the story questionable is that it seems to be an Express exclusive, plus the negative slant put on it suggests it is just more propaganda.

Ooops, I see the £ seems not be to be following the remoaners script, now that at long last we seem to be heading for a no deal exit.

Manics, you should just pity potty.

Alphorn - "Captain Birds Eye - you have a real problem between - positive - reality - negativity.

Do you ever actually invest in anything or just prat on endlessly?

You are an idiot and no doubt you know it."

Nice, but you missed out your 'ROFLMAO'.

You've posted 16 times already today, compared to my 1, and yet you say that I "prat on endlessly".

I rest my case, yet again. Like taking candy.
