Brexit negotiations thread

[Cricko]

You do have to wonder why the tories are pushing for brexit a few days before the new rules come in for massive online companies (Their mates) having to pay equal taxes.

No smoke and mirrors to see here...move along.

Meanwhile Trump threatens a no deal and at the last minute Canada and Mexico fold and give the US a better deal, which will create more jobs in the US.

Forget what you think of Trump but it proves we need a Business man/ woman rather than career lame ducks from Westminster.

Ok but doesn't the US hold the better hand in this?
The EU doesn't stand to suffer the same extent of pain as we do if no deal is the final outcome, so surely any businessman/woman would know that.

Do you think we are more Canada or USA?

I think we're more Mexico.

We spend £300b with the EU. They spend £200b with GB.....Any one in Business knows The Uk have the best hand.

so simplistic. How many trade deals will we have to renegotiate? Every single EU deal that we were part of will have to be negotiated and agreed again, the EU just have to renegotiate with us, we have to do it with the whole world. How long will that take? how much will we lose in the time it takes? How many businesses will go under whilst waiting? If we are under pressure to get deals done quickly, do you think we will get good deals?

Hmm... MP who has put on record their intention to campaign to remain in the EU issues dire Brexit warning shocker... (check the section below Cabinet Ministers and lo and behold Claire Perry is listed):

In my opinion, and this may only be me, I prefer to consume news from a range of sources and make my opinions - usually discounting the more extreme statements from all sides of any debate. When someone does issue a statement, a couple of minutes due diligence can quickly throw light on whatever perspective they are coming from and may lead to their views being set in a more balanced context.

Surely what IS important here, is that this is one of a multiplicity of views being expressed by a government which is still bickering amongst themselves as to their approach to Brexit. GOD! we are weeks away from the deadline for the end of negotiations and this incompetent shambles of a government can't even agree a point of view. It honestly beggars belief, no wonder the EU is exasperated and not prepared to give the UK any further time to waste, continuing to argue amongst itself.

Oh, thank goodness for that!............nothing to worry about then. It's only a matter of time (the end of the month) before the EU gives in and agrees to the good deal May dreams of. The only problem I can see is that we haven't exactly decided on what we want yet.

And forget he, his associates and his immediate family have got known links to Russian organised crime. Forget he's complicit in Russian mafia money laundering activities through a number of his properties, notable Trump Tower and Trump Soho. Forget he has actively spent the last 25+ years cultivating personal ties with various Oligarchs and know Russian mafia crime bosses and not forgetting it was criminal Russian money that bailed him out of his $6 billion dollar Atlanta debt that brought him back from certain ruin. He owes Russia BIG time and they know it....................Sorry, wrong thread but I detest the man.

Don't panic Ricky, our business leader, leader will sort it all out. The only problem is no-one knows who it is.

The mess has happened because the leader insists on a Chequers deal that is absolute nonsense. Hardly anyone believes in it. The EU doesn't like it. We don't like it. The bumbling Prime Minister likes it, and sod everyone else.

Or, perhaps more precisely, the negotiations over the past two years have primarily been to keep the Conservative Party in one piece. How many times has she been told by the EU that her plan won't work? Yet she carries on regardless............maybe because other options are far worse to contemplate. Anyway, thank goodness, we are coming towards the end game and I think the s**t is about to hit the fan. I'm relieved that there appears to be a decreasing appetite to achieve some kind of fudge which would just delay the decision on vital issues.........quite honestly, I think Europe have had enough of a dialogue with the deaf. Now, not only are the the EU, Tory remainers & Brexiters opposed to Chequers but the DUP is saying that they will accept no compromise on their position. Are we heading for a constitutional crisis???

OK, the Conservative Party conference is over and May is still dancing. Is it really now going to be sorted out, one way or the other, over the next two weeks?
