    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Supposedly Brexit is a done deal,whatever happens we are leaving....at least that is what we are told. The EU seem to want us to stay,I suspect that is primarily about money,we don't know the financial position of the EU,they haven't issued accounts for 17 years,but it would be logical that with...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You don't need to tell us,you need to tell the EU. The EU are threatening again saying we have 10 days to progress cash and the Irish border problem. By now someone should have calculated what we owe,less of course what the EU owes us,nobody seems to want to reveal that number,this is not 'grey'...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Corbyn is getting his timing right,he has the measure of Theresa May and has not ducked the issue of which way he would vote in another referendum,he stated yesterday in PMQ's that he voted remain and would vote remain again. Looks like Theresa May got on the wrong horse and has ridden it until...

    I didnt vote for Brexit,but I am living with it....at the moment the currency situation is good for UK traders but these things may change. I cant see the DUP being happy if the status of Belfast is downgraded and what a mess and additional costs to import via Liverpool. Sorry your suggestions...

    But the man from Huddersfield really should have voted Remain,I selfishly quite like the Rees-Mogg version of Brexit,could have voted Leave....but I am trying to look at the bigger picture and consider my kids and grandkids. KudosDave

    You managed to ignore the route China>Belfast>Dublin,or is that what the DUP refer to as small business (20%),I done think so!!!! This is the help your government have stated.... Republic of Ireland leader Leo Varadkar has said the country will not design a border for Brexiteers and insisted...

    How would that work? Dont forget our 'wonderful' Mr Liam Fox is intending a free trade deal with China....how would the EU react to goods coming in tariff free into Belfast from China and then being sold into Ireland across the 'no border'....we are discussing this on a site for pedelecs,it...

    Danidl....the Irish lady on the TV listed out all the types of border that will not be acceptable,she rejected even electronic recognition. The Irish dont want a border,nor do NI,nor do the English but the EU expect a border to control trade and tariffs....perhaps the Irish should ask the EU...

    Brexit hasnt really hurt the vast majority of Brexit voters and Hammond's budget didnt focus on the negatives of Brexit to these people,it was a softish giveaway budget,he probably wanted a hard hitting austerity budget,blaming Brexit uncertainty,but with the Tories slim majority that would have...

    The problem of Brexit is that it has so many facets that at no time can an agreement be reached that is stable...The Irish are being unreasonable in not accepting any border,even an invisible one,they are about to go through a period of political instability maybe new elections.....The Germans...

    David...I would also support a second referendum but don't be so sure Remain would win....there are many in the UK who voted Leave,the Brexit vote was their moment of power that had to be followed through,no matter how bad Brexit looks, if you reverse that decision you have neutralised their...

    Then we have to cope with it...I have a feeling that businessman like myself will find a way though this mess...I didnt want Brexit and even now hope it will be scrapped,but these things have a momentum of their own. The initial £ v dollar weakness took 6 months to overcome but at the moment the...

    I don't sell on the e-bay to EU countries,all my e-bay sales are to the home market. I don't think WTO tariffs are going to be any good for the UK but also no good for the EU,30% plus on food,10% on cars but engineering items are low tariff. We can grow more at home but exports to the EU for our...

    It bothers me because Barnier is in the driving seat,we don't appear to even be in the car. Every time the EU says it wants more money,May goes away and squeezes Hammond (not a nice thought) for money which we haven't got unless we borrow it. May is a puppet tweeked by the bastard 50 ( or is it...

    Read my posting again...I said we should pay our commitments,that should be a sum which is calculable,I assume our team has that figure. After that anything more is dependent upon how attractive is the trade deal,I said that may be nil but we should pay our commitments. Hope I have made that...
