"China has warned the G7 leaders that the days when a "small" group of countries decided the fate of the world were long gone"

Maybe not, but they ultimately want to!

Thats not to say that I am unhappy with the way post Brexit is panning out. I think its going far better than could be expected. But it is how its managed that will be key. Like the vaccine - its no good gaining an advantage if you cant drive it home

If I was to play advocate for the remainers I would say that the UK govt got lucky with the vaccine. Since then the handling of the pandemic has been shambolic and the EU is now leading the way in opening up. The economic effects and costs are yet to be tallied. In theory yes we can change governments in practice at the moment we can only change its name? As fatso the 'Conservative' said yesterday he wants to build a gender neutral future.FFS. So I can vote labour or Liberal??

5 months out of the EU single market – progress so farJUNE 13, 2021 10 COMMENTSI have had a couple of emails from Remain voters asking what benefits we have seen from our exit from the EU, as they are still unhappy about the decision taken in a referendum and reinforced by two General elections.  After five and a half  months it is still early days but so far it looks as if we will have a good first year out.The main benefit of Brexit is we are now a self governing country that can make our own decisions, change our own laws, and run our own budgets. If in the future government did badly we can rid of it at the next election and change the laws and policies which were wrong. A General election here could not change a single EU law, tax or budget decision when we were members.We have already seen early evidence of the advantage in our decision not to join the EU vaccine policy but to pioneer a new vaccine here in the UK with government support and orders to back it.  This resulted in an earlier roll out of vaccinations for all here and the offer of a crucial low cost treatment to the rest of the world. We are busily creating a new and enlarged vaccine production capability in the UK.  Spending on the NHS has gone up by more than £350 m a week.  We will now start to save larger sums on EU levies  as we are no longer liable for new contributions to the EU growing budgets.The UK has as promised rolled over the trade agreements we shared with the EU with a  number of other countries, and is now well advanced on a new round of trade deals with countries that do not have such arrangements with the EU. This year will be our first outside the EU and its single market. According to international bodies the UK should see its fastest growth rate for many years at 7%, ahead of the EU average. Contrary to Remain predictions sterling has been strengthening since we left, house prices have been rising and employment is still at high levels despite the pandemic damage. It is a matter of regret that the EU wishes to damage its exports to us by placing barriers in the way of trade. Fortunately many other countries see this as an opportunity and are keen to sell to us and understand that means they should also be willing to buy more from us. One of the big gains from Brexit will be growing and making more for ourselves, to cut the food miles and create more better paid jobs at home.The latest trade figures show a welcome cut in our trade deficit with the EU thanks to a fall in imports to the UK. We are buying home produced or cheaper and better from the rest of the world.We live in an age of governments wishing to pursue national resilience. The USA has awoken to the way China has used free access to western markets whilst continuing to protect and control its own to gain a stronghold over crucial technologies, essential raw materials and important manufactures. The USA has embarked on a crash course of regaining the initiative in technology, onshoring more production and securing its position in a range of things from rare earths to semiconductors and from batteries to 5G communications. The UK too can now do something similar. Our industrial and agricultural  base in many crucial areas like steel, electricity production, shipbuilding and temperate foodstuffs was hollowed out by EU competition. In control of our own state aids, public procurement and competition policies we can now set about rebuilding.... John Redwood

Freedom Day....CL Taylor12 Jun 2021 8:56PMThis is very bad news and no surprise. I've run out of words to describe how sick I am of this Government's incompetence; its unethical, callous treatment of its citizens; its devastation of the economy and consequent impact on our lives.We were urged to do our bit by getting vaccinated and most did so. Those who didn't had every right not to. Now it seems not to matter at all.All I can do is refuse to comply anymore with wearing a mask and social distancing, which won't matter at all unless millions of others do the same.....

ByChristopher Williams, BUSINESS EDITOR and Edward Malnick, SUNDAY POLITICAL EDITOR12 June 2021 • 8:39pm?The BBC has been accused of an eleventh-hour "ambush" intended to "damage" Sunday's launch of the right-leaning television network GB News.The corporation is alleged to have been pushing to bar GB News from accessing footage of public events via a "pooling" system run by the country's three main broadcasters.The move would leave the new channel unable to broadcast many major events where there is only space for one camera.A GB News spokesman said: "This is an ambush by the BBC designed to damage the launch of GB News and protect their dominance of UK news broadcasting.  We will fight it.  And our launch continues."   The move reignites a row that surfaced in 2010 when the Press Association, the national news agency, complained that it was unable to access footage from "single camera assignments" filmed as part of the UK Broadcast Pool, which comprises the BBC, Sky News and ITN.....
