I have run the same business for 45 years,I have employees who have been with me for 35 years,all my recent employees have worked for me for at least 8 years. Many will work from school to pension. How long term do you want? There are many family businesses in the UK that still have descendants...

Just because you were a doctor doesn't make you an expert at negotiating trade deals......Liam Fox. Or because you were part of the hellfire club doesn't make you ideal as Foreign Secretary......Boris Johnson. Hammond was a car dealer so I suppose he can add up....nice set of wheels Arthur...

But like IDS you don't know what law you would like our post Brexit parliament to pass. I suspect most Brexiters haven't a clue either. Perhaps like Rees-Mogg your priority may be to bring back fox hunting? KudosDave

Oxygen James....when IDS came out of a government vote on Brexit he spent the next 10 minutes raving about that he had waited 40 years to have the ability for us to make our own laws. The interviewer caught him out and asked what law would he like to introduce immediately that the EU was...

Professor Minford of Cardiff University says that we would be £135 billion pa better off after Brexit,that is after all tariffs are removed and and the restrictions of EU standards eliminated. But his calculations assume we maintain all the current trade with the EU. However,he does acknowledge...

I think it's wonderful that you see good in everything,is this natural or drug induced? I especially found it amusing that you thought the reason why Davis didn't have his papers on the table was that long range lenses would pick up his secret 'position'.....a cynic would say that he doesn't...

Boris has a track record of backing failures...the Guardian has listed a number of Boris 'vanity' projects during his time as London mayor...the list includes the cancelled garden Thames bridge and the ridiculous Boris island airport .....the total comes to £940 million.....peanuts to what he...

Thank you. Most medium/larger size businesses are looking at establishing partnerships with their strongest customer in each EU country. In the short term this will make little difference to UK-EU sales but the logic is that as a distributor grows then goods will be shipped direct from Asia to...

Davis reminds me of the aged sports master who has been told to attend an important function with the headmaster (Barnier) to discuss a subject which he knows nothing about,he is so uncomfortable. KudosDave

Actually the EU did more for many Brexiters than this government will ever do...these people will find out what the Rees-Moggs want to do,if they stay in power....I dont think Corbyn wants the job,better to let May and Co make a mess of an impossible situation. Any way,werent you a remainer...

Our government is making such a mess of these negotiations that it is inevitable that any negotiated settlement will not be good for us. So I am starting to consider the idea that we either stay in or a clean break with no EU deal may be an ok option. If we can import from Asia without any...

Cameron and I suspect nobody else had any idea of the far reaching consequences of Brexit....its sort of like a Rubic cube that you solve one side and it puts the others out of pattern....having said that there are people who can solve the cube in seconds. KudosDave

Not an expert on this but I think we are automatically members of the EEA,which we may have made an error in not giving notice to quit,although our government is insisting that when we leave the EU ,we automatically leave the EEA,that is the subject of another court case. EFTA is an entirely...

Come on Woosh,you can do better then degenerating to the 'we won,you lost,deal with it' brigade. I could be persuaded to support Brexit if Brexiteers put forward valid arguments as to why we are doing this. Oxygen James ,clearly a Brexiter,really was hoping that Brexit would sort out the...

If that is the case,why are Brexiters so against another vote, KudosDave

But these people can only look to in or out the EU,any other possibility is fantasy....after Brexit,as it stands,they will have no Spanish healthcare support....even now it is being made difficult for them,so they see the future. KudosDave

I do lots of business with the Irish,lovely people,north or south of the border,great fun but you count your fingers after shaking hands,they act like they can't but they can add up!!!! KudosDave

You really must do some homework,parliament have not agreed those position papers,they are by their name 'position papers',a sort of wishlist by our government,once the negotiations are complete parliament votes on the outcome,which probably wont look anything like those position papers,by the...

Woosh....you really havent been reading the news,the UK and EU currently refuse to allow reciprocal medical rights,the end of the E111 form,that is why old expats living in Spain are so worried and may be forced to return to the UK...they are in a difficult position,they cant afford to come back...

Ireland votes to rejoin the UK....why would Ireland want to join with the UK when we cannot even agree amongst the already devolved nations,Ireland would add a whole new set of problems. Maybe N.I. uniting with Ireland but that would start all the old nationalist problems,that would surely be...
