I think both sides will settle for £35 billions plus 3 years at £10 billions in the transition period, totalling £65 billions. We want in return a deep deal similar to EFTA. Cash is king, we'll get there. Both sides have to put up a fight to justify their salary. In the scheme of things, it's...

I usually file it with a small round file before grinding.

you need to make the slot in the dropout about 2mm-3mm deeper, so the anti-rotation washer can be completely inside the dropout like this: The rubber seal is not strictly needed, its main job is to protect the sensor from water ingress. The main thing is to get the sensor to key into the...

I would have thought the opposite, he was the best Labour PM in my lifetime. For once, Labour leaning taxpayers could vote for someone who would not tax them to become unemployed. I still could not believe how easy it was for Momentum to take over the labour party.

can you post some pictures of the motor wheel in the dropout and the bottom bracket with the left hand pedal sensor - that will help everyone interested to see the problems.

automation is to profit the rich who can invest. Do you expect they would pay the poor for doing nothing?

You still think of us as a rich country. Some people are rich, but in reality, a small minority. The vast majority of taxpayers are not in this category. They take home less than £2k a month and still have to feed and cloth their children. That amount is not far off what you would get on...

that is already part of the EU's agenda, called 'universal income'. You contribute to society in your way, society will give you everything you need. Sounds very civilized indeed. But would it turn out like our NHS?

the gravity centre of our electorate. No point to extend our boundary to the EU, we will be floating alone in the North Sea soon enough.

I doubt that we will ever have a socialist government in my lifetime. You need to occupy the centre to win power.

until we know exactly what is in the bill, we can only speculate. The UK's contribution to the EU in 2016 is about £13 billions, £4.5 billions were spent in the UK, net contribution £8.5 billions. The EU is said to demand about 10 years worth of net contribution to settle the outstanding...

I know you run Fli Distribution which distrubutes KTM bikes among other things but I don't know if KTM have separate HQ.

that is the scenario that a lot of larger companies will have to comtemplate: splitting their operations between the EU and UK, ending up with two operations, the large one in the EU and the small one in the UK. We are faced with job losses from downsizing of Japanese companies in the UK but...

surely, social matters have more to do with the conservative government than the brexit process.

it's the EU Commission that wants to load the bill with items that the British government does not agree to. Our HoL may have a view but at the end of the day, disputes between members (1 against 27) , it may have to come to the ECJ for resolution.

legal arguments have to be the basis to settle the divorce bills. This is one case for the ECJ, not the commission,

we are talking about 3% duty on e-bikes if imported from the EU. E-bikes imported from China stay on 6% import duty. The extra 3% duty on European e-bikes go to the Treasury instead to the EU.

you did all the explaining for me. Customers want to buy KTM bikes, they just have to pay a higher price. Same thing happens over in EU27 land. Over time, the landscape will change, KTM customers may find Wisper Shimano equipped bikes better value for money. KTM may lose sales to Chinese made...

I think Davis is doing the right thing to establish the legal basis for the bill. We can't just blindly accept the bill without due dilligence. I would have thought the EU is better prepared for this.

that's why our position is clear: the EU team's hands are tied by their agreed agenda. Let's just wait for the EU27 member countries that have close economic ties with the UK start to get jitters. Our strategy is fairly clear: agree on the legal basis for the bill. Then all the 3 major topics...
