For sure there is no question of turning back the clock. The question is whether the UK crashes out or cuts a deal.

Nigel was on the wireless last night, he is not optimistic: Treesa has surrounded herself with inner circle remainers and you can see the results....chaos.

But the bearded one wont get the result he hopes for if the tories get rid of may and put a proper leader in place (if they can find one)


Meanwhile, things are not turning for remainers, people still want out.

Jean-Claude Juncker fears Theresa May’s Government could collapse next week if Brexit talks remain deadlocked, The Telegraph has learnt

That is a very populist point of view maxk given that aside from the Independent, which no longer produces hard copy newspapers, the Guardian is now almost unique amongst Global broadsheets in that it is not hidden behind a paywall.

[maxk] 06/12/2017 20:51

All newspapers are on the slide, the peoples choice, the graun is reduced to begging, where are the snowflakes when you need them?

I think the only UK newspaper amongst those to be taken even with a pinch of salt that is still pushing for brexit is the Telegraph.

The Times, Financial Times, Guardian, Evening Standard and Independent are all firmly in the remain camp. It seems these days that even the BM is having a second think too.

Well, Davis is too long in the tooth to make a mistake like that.

So you have to wonder if he's been turned, or has he been a trojan all along?

Brexit could have as big an impact on the British economy as the 2008 credit crunch, David Davis warned today.

The Brexit Secretary said quitting the Brussels club will amount to a 'paradigm change' comparable with the biggest financial slump since the Depression of the 1930s.

He made the extraordinary comment as he was called before the Brexit select committee where he admitted no Brexit impact assessments have been carried out by Whitehall.

Pound drops on lack of Brexit impact assessment

StockMarketWire.com

Investors were shocked by the admission that Brexit Secretary David Davis did not carry out an assessment of the impact on the UK when it leaves the European Union.

In the USA they would all be up before a Senate Hearing.

C'mon maxk...I don't believe you don't think that to be a tad sloppy...

Sounds like a euphemism for we can't be bothered..given what's at stake even an attempt at pillar sectors and some analysis would have been more heartening don't you agree? guess it is what it is and a shrug will have to do...

which outcome gives the NHS an extra £350m a week?

[maxk] 06/12/2017 15:08

"the range of different outcomes is too wide"

[ramco] 06/12/2017 15:03

I did post some time ago at what appeared to me quite concerning that the Govt. had not appeared to have made a sector analysis of effects to science and research sector as stated by concerned professionals within it...

Davis says cabinet took decision to leave the customs union without an analysis of the economic impact.

Who the heck is running this show? or is all this a Sun Tzu strategy... show your opponent you are weak when you are strong type of thing...;)

It will be interesting if Unionist vs Southern Republican views cannot be reconciled.
If the Republic has the EU by the short and curlies and the Unionists have May by the short and curlies.........

Influential Scottish Tory leader says ...


Ruth Davidson has said that the whole of the UK should remain in “alignment” with the EU’s customs union if it is the only way to secure a frictionless border in Northern Ireland.

In a statement, the Scottish Conservative leader said: “If regulatory alignment in a number of specific areas is the requirement for a frictionless border, then the Prime Minister should conclude this on a UK-wide basis”.

[leedskier] 05/12/2017 15:13

David Davis suggests regulatory alignment plan to apply to whole of UK, not just NI - Politics live



In one of my first posts after a 3 week break did I not say Hotel California rules would apply to regulatory oversight by the EU?
