Anyway, thread here about Phil Hammond's analysis of the benefits of any new trade deals. It'd be nice if this had been discussed years ago.
We've done a lot of equipment for UK car plants in the past (JLR, Nissan, Toyota etc), but nothing for years (surprisingly), all of our work is now outside of the EU, mainly China, Taiwan and the US.I also wonder about the future of precision industries like machine tools manufacturers and several engineering firms involved in production. Anything that impacts manufacturing or brings tariffs is going to take a serious toll.

I think this is true. I think the biggest issue is that we have a number of journalists and correspondents presenting spin as fact, or at least as a credible line of questioning for opposition.
I'm seeing someone in that tweet working for the Telegraph moaning about the state of the debate on EU matters, and blaming others for it.
One of the paradoxes of brexit reporting is that some of the most incisive anti-brexit twitter commentary seems to come from the European/Foreign Affairs reporters at massively pro-Brexit newspapers.I'm seeing someone in that tweet working for the Telegraph moaning about the state of the debate on EU matters, and blaming others for it.

Tom Newton Dunn is another one. His tweets are all about how impossible a brexit deal is and how hopelessly broken the Tory party are, but the Sun's headlines are all about how great Brexit is and how only a traitor would talk down our prospects.

Do they have any even remotely semi-reasonable justification for thisSo the Brexit party have voted against an EU resolution to counter election meddling and Russian disinformation.
You think they would at least try to hide that they are barely disguised villains but I can bet that their follower will eat it up. Sticking it to the EU etc etc.

See Nick Guttridge of the Sun and James Crisp of the Telegraph, both Brussels correspondents who's twitter threads are insightful and even tempered, and who's printed output is horribly cartoonist.
It's not his choice to make.Corbyn is in a sticky position if Labour MPs are ready to revolt over having a referendum before an election, though it sounds more like rumblings and grumblings than something that'll happen.
I get a GE would be easier when Brexit is resolved but I'm not sure how parliament as it is now does resolve it. Put May's deal vs remain in a referendum I guess, which I wouldn't be too opposed to tbh.
I would love for the EU to ignore it and for the courts to penalise Boris for it regardless.I would love for the EU to pretend the second letter was never sent.
I think that if the deal is back to the original northern Ireland Backstop with a consent where no one side of the community has a veto it could pass, enough mps would probably vote to get brexit through

I'd completely missed that Milo was tangentially involved with the Arcuri scandal (because it's twenty nineteen, of course he was)
I always wondered why that line is so effective. Fear is often a very good thing. If you cross the street, you better be afraid of being run over and check incoming traffic first. If you leave the EU, you should be afraid that it will economically ruin your country.
Because the implication is that it's made up to scare you, not that you shouldn't be scared of true thingsI always wondered why that line is so effective. Fear is often a very good thing.

Only a buffoon is completely free for any fear.
The thing that annoys me is that the Leave campaign nicked in the first place. That phrase was coined by the Yes campaign during the Scottish indieref as a label for the actual mistruths the No campaign was often spouting.I always wondered why that line is so effective.

Do they have the numbers in parliament now for a referendum to get through? If not surely you'd need to have an election to try to change the arithmetic.Corbyn is in a sticky position if Labour MPs are ready to revolt over having a referendum before an election, though it sounds more like rumblings and grumblings than something that'll happen.

The second letter existing and BoJo being punished for it raises him up. Making it look like he lied and never tried to block the extension on the other hand.Suspect the court would rule that 2nd letter wss illegal and as a result the EU will ignore it
Any concession from his current proposal that loses the DUP is likely to lose some support from the ERG too, then any extra Labour MPs won't be enough.I just wonder if Boris is about to sell the DUP down the road and hope he picks up more Labour MP,s
The reality is he does have a very powerful arguement on the 19th. For those in leave areas. The reality is vote down the deal and we go to a penalty shoot out (election) and there is no guarantee any leave MPs will get their brexit
