    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed that the best deal is Remain but the EU could have ensured we stayed if they had offered some deal on immigration when Cameron went out with his begging bowl. But that is in the past,we are looking like idiots because we are making the same mistake as Cameron and pandering to the EU...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The EU is constantly accusing the UK of not progressing the negotiations....that is political speak for us not coming up with enough cash. By now some team with a pad and calculator should have calculated how much we legally owe the EU,not a penny more nor a penny less. Ok that has sorted out...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Most are saying that a crash out Brexit will hurt the UK more than the EU....but is that true....the Irish sell a lot of agriculture products to the north,there is a heavy tariff on food ,milk products which means the north will need to grow more,buy more elsewhere in the world or just accept...

    And where is the money going to come from to create the northern powerhouse? I thought it was a political dream of Osborne's to achieve votes rather than reality? Read about Rees Mogg's idea of converting us to a Singapore economy.....no NHS,no state funding,no pensions,no tax credits,no...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I find Theresa May going on a tour of the smaller EU countries very embarrassing. I still think we should not have embarked on this Brexit experiment but if we are leaving the EU we should retain our pride and self respect. There must be many EU countries that are frightened of losing the UK...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It appears that May is about to offer more cash to the EU to move negotiations on. I cannot believe that anyone in the UK wants that,either Leaver or Remainer. We should walk away and let the EU stew for a while,threatening to give them nothing,the EU is clearly financially bust and needs what...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Why should the EU want a free trade deal with the UK....the EU is busy putting up more protection against imports (anti-dumping duty on e-bikes!!!) so why would it want a free trade deal with the UK. The lions share of EU exports to the UK is food and cars....we need EU food because we dont grow...

    The meaningful vote should be.... 1. Leave the EU with a good deal 2. In the event of a bad deal then crash out 3. In the event of a bad deal remain in the EU Let parliament vote 3 ways before March 2019 KudosDave

    So this is what our trading arrangements may look like,post Brexit..... The “new customs partnership” is the more ambitious of the two, but comes with significant compromises. It envisages the UK copying, or “mirroring”, EU tariffs for imported goods ultimately bound for other member states. A...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The SNP’s foreign affairs spokesperson, Stephen Gethins, said his party had put forward an amendment to the bill that would prevent a “no deal” scenario so that the UK could remain in the EU if negotiations fail. “We know there is concern across all parties about this Brexit bill, and the...

    Are Amazon and E-Bay too big for HMRC to tackle.

    It is big and small companies within Amazon and E-Bay that are failing to charge the vat. Amazon and E-Bay collect 10% on everything sold in their marketplaces,the reason why they allow the vat evasion is that the products would not be so competitive if vat was correctly charged,this would allow...
