REDWOOD IS A GRAMMAR SCHOOL BOY FROM A COUNCIL HOUSE.

[minerve] 04/1/2019 11:40

Gove definitely gets pegged by his wife every night. You know who wears the trousers in that house.

[m4rtinu] 04/1/2019 11:34

SV - she should have had him stuffed! Mind you, it looks like someone is constantly stuffing him with his overdone eyebrow-raise and over-intense wide-eyed look.

Bloody Grammar School boyz should know their place; like me :)

[minerve] 04/1/2019 11:33

Excellent idea. Get it done all over the UK.

[maxk] 04/1/2019 11:06

I quite like the idea of Gove standing behind Treeza.

[semper vigilans] 04/1/2019 10:52

...and his wife is a liability, but maybe we should thank her for stuffing his leadership chances.
Then look what we got instead!

[m4rtinu] 04/1/2019 10:42

Gove is very untrustworthy.

[mikemichael2] 04/1/2019 10:03

Not too keen on this Hairy Januhairy thing !!

[poikka] 04/1/2019 09:56

Gove is only interested in Gove.

[diku] 04/1/2019 09:49

Is Gove playing the double fiddle?...

No, Mr Gove, the Withdrawal Agreement is not a good idea on any count
By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JANUARY 4, 2019
Mr Gove used to be in favour of Leave. Now we puts out the worst kind of Project Fear nonsense and seeks to prevent us leaving for at least another 2 years and maybe double that.

I have some straightforward questions for him:

1. When will he and Dr Fox publish the UK tariff schedule for March 30 2019 to trade under WTO rules? Our farmers and traders need to know now.
2. Will our tariff schedule set tariffs that are lower and fewer in number than we currently have to impose under EU rules?
3. What is the right balance between cutting tariffs on food to help the consumer, and keeping some tariff protection which will offer some protection against European imports for the first time?
4. What increase in UK market share in temperate foods is he aiming for once we do impose some tariffs on EU competitors?
5. Is he now going to write food production in as a central aim of his White Paper and legislation?
6. Is he going to keep environmental and health and safety and animal welfare levels the same as at present when we decide or is he going to legislate to improve them?
7. When will he announce a fishing policy that takes back control of our fishing grounds and allows our home based industry to expand?

Brexit is huge opportunity to cut food miles, grow more of our own food, to rescue our fishing grounds and land more of our own fish, and to build bigger food processing industries close to good agricultural supply. That requires the Secretary of State to stop trying to delay Brexit and stop trying top scare us, and to get on with making some decisions and putting through legislation that will be good for UK farming and fishing.

If i was a betting man I'd say this might be about as good as it is going to get for domestic stocks. The 650 economic saboteurs reconvene next week to spook the life our of UK plc. I'm ready for portfolio destruction, but if i sold sod's law would call a rally.

[maxk] 04/1/2019 09:16

Gove is now a remainer.

[excell1] 04/1/2019 09:08

Govey seems to have done a complete U turn in recent weeks.

[pal44] 04/1/2019 08:55

Govey will be PM in 10 weeks don't worry.

[gotnorolex] 04/1/2019 08:55

Japanese all set to go for the jugular in '19 by direct marketing durable goods to UK consumers post free! Britain first before the mainland as we have the most efficient distribution logistics in Europe!

Given the contempt the tory party hierarchy have for it's members (except election time) I cant see that poll swaying the maybot from her course.

[poikka] 04/1/2019 08:22

"Theresa May’s bid to get Tory MPs to back her Brexit plan suffered a set-back as a new poll showed more than half of Conservative Party members prefer a no-deal withdrawal.

In a three-way choice, 57% of grassroots Tories said they would support leaving the EU without an agreement, while 23% would back the Prime Minister’s deal and 15% would choose to remain. A total of 5% had no preference.

A two-way referendum would see 29% of Tory members endorse the PM’s stance, with 64% voting for a no-deal Brexit, according to the YouGov poll funded by Economic and Social Research Council."

Business is business, Cheshire. Let's not get too carried away.

[cheshire pete] 04/1/2019 00:31

Poikka: Dutch firm floated the caissons for the Conway Tunnel, the Dutch have a long track record of marine works and land reclamation (Polders). No question of their ability or expertise. Issue is the award of a contract to an EU country to deal with our preparations for the no deal scenario. Conflict of interest, unless I'm missing something. Why would they wish to do a good job on time lol?
