Doesn’t that mean that we need to find somewhere else to buy stuff from?

 

Or pay tariffs?

 

They’d best crack on then, I can’t see Tunisia and Lebanon taking up the slack.

You mean like the rest of the world?

 

 

Tariffs work both ways.

Of course they do.

 

But when you are buying....

When you're a big net importer of goods like the UK it means imports are more expensive and exports of profitable services to the EU are less competitive.

I think you are wasting your time.

 

For people like Peter, all that matters is preventing immigration. Not the economy, not any coherent foreign policy, just straightforward hatred of immigrants.

 

That’s regardless of whether they come from the EU, or elsewhere. The laziest thing to do is to blame the EU.

That meeting where Merkel, under pressure from auto manufacturers, was going to force the EU to give the UK a pass...

That's where you'd be wrong, but keep up your slagging people off you don't agree with, it just shows your ignorance

Let's see what happens as we get nearer 31st December.  At least this time we haven't got the threat of pro EU MPs  sabotaging our negotiations.

It’s the pro Brexit cabinet that worries me as they continue to demonstrate their incompetence in so many directions.

However this is their specialist subject so let’s see how it goes.

All my worries vanished on 13th December when we knew the Tories had won an eighty seat majority meaning the pro EU MPs couldn't sabotage Brexit. A trade deal will be agreed near the 31st December deadline. Either way I've no worries if a trade deal is not agreed and WTO rules apply. It's win win for anyone who has pride in their country and wanted to and voted to leave the dreadful EU.

I will be glad when its all over, then we can get to what affects the people. We used to have a budget every twelve months, in some years we have had more than one budget.

We will probably have one in November, there has certainly been enough hapening to have an emergency budget, like we did in 2010

I wonder where the pain will be felt? At the moment everything looks great, but I dont think it is!

There have been numerous announcements from the Chancellor regarding measures to help with the Covid-19 pandemic.  The only time I recall an emergency budget regarding Brexit being mentioned was before the referendum when Cameron or Osbourne said an emergency budget would be required immediately  if the UK voted to leave the EU. This turned out to be nothing more than scaremongering from the remain camp.  The pain being felt is a consequence of Covid-19 and not Brexit.

Instead of a budget, they shoved £70 billion quid into the coffers using quantitative easing, effectively kicking the can down the road (bit of a metaphor for everything Brexit really).

 

The pain being felt is a consequence of Covid-19 and is exacerbated by Brexit - fixed your last sentence for you

It's seems the only ones still panicking about Brexit are the wealthy middle classes - at a loss to explain why the sky hasn't fallen in after we voted to Leave (as many of them truly believed that it would) and desperate to inform us that it will happen imminently. 

 

Brexit is now just a middle class anxiety. 

 

Working class people are intensely relaxed about Brexit and have moved on.

Are you totally oblivious to what is going on in the world.

All issues have become secondary to those related to the effects of the pandemic and to believe that Brexit happened at the stroke of midnight is totally naive.

We have yet to experience either the benefits that you believe in or the probable downside ,as others think possible.

UK Speciality Foods sector getting worried, looks like Boris is trying to walk back commitments made in the WA that protected their brand:

Turns out, those protections come with ECJ oversight

 

Like David Davis, Boris is only bothered with the detail *after* he signed it
