  1. 88 Lorries? Non of them cleared customs. This is not even 1% of the estimated amount. What should this prove? It shows the Tories can't even organize a test.
    160
  2. Why is the UK so unprepared and the staff not have the adequate equipment?

  3. Is Johnson insane or incompetent? Oh he could be insanely incompetent.

  4.  @jameswhiteley6843  British Empire was about plundering raw materials and then selling them the finished products. It is a lesson in a one sided relationship with all benefits for the UK. I guess this is one reason why they choose to become socereign even against the UK consent.

  5. Johnson looks ill I would not be surprised if he is already a corona case

  6. The Tories can't get a majority it is time to go and make room.

  9. How many NHS workers have to die? I wonder if she get the same care as a certain Mr Johnson.

  10. Johnson's plan is to stay PM. He does not care about anyone but Johnson. He lies, blisters and is empty handed.

  11. How about drug tests for every politicians entering Westminster? So we can be sure they make decisions not under drugs.

  12. spex357 A hard border exists the moment the UK crashes out. The action of the UK to crash uncontrolled out creates a hard border, breaks the Good Friday Agreement. Not to mention that such behavior shows every nation on the world that the UK can't be trusted in treaties.

  14. xpaige - Leaving has become for some people a religion in which nothing matters any longer. Only the holy Brexit has to be delivered.
    13
  15. Phil Spilsbury - The sad story is that these politicuans are totally uninformed about the EU and EU single market and customs union. They are reckless and should be fured for incompetence and tryinh to willfully destroying the business.

  16. The NHS protective gear sounds like some underfunded 3 world country. Why are they not better protected?
    12
  17. Blodie - This is a whataboutism. The UK leaves a political organisation of sovereign states and is making a total mess out of it. Leaving is about losing jobs, tax revenue and credibility.

  18. Al Barz They got only 30% and are neither the government not the majority in NI. They are the 10 MPs, hired radicals, the Tories need to pretend to have a majority in Westminster.

  19.  Salterino Kripperino  What is this based on? Do you have at least one study you cite from to support your claim? Or are we talking here about your gut feelings?
    11
  20. John McCord How does a mid sized country that exports 48% into the largest trading bloc in the world exactly intend to play hardball? The EU won a trade war against the US before and the EU has taken down all kind of multinationals for not abiding to the rules and fined them. The EU treats the UK just like any other third country.

  21. How different the UK would be with Heseltine as PM.

  25.  @sgill4833  Really? The British border in Ireland becomes an external border of the EU to a third country. This means it is like the border to Russia. So everything that enter the EU from a third country has to be checked, tariffs applied, health regulations for food checked to protect the people, the correct paper work has to be in place. This is the trouble the UK causes by their action alone.

  26. Johnson the mad king has been crowned by the Tories. Remember who brought the mad king into office.

  27. Did the Tories not tell us that "only 20.000" would be a success? Does it mean 30.000 death are a greater success? Why did anyone come up with the idea that any amount of death would be a success? Why 20.000? Why not 300 like South Korea. I would count only 300 death as a success.
    9
  28. Yes Mr Transport secretary on the 29th of March 11pm third country rules apply for the UK and 100% of the checks as for other third country. Yes this means that without the proper papers nothing passes any border. The customs duties have to be paid as well as the tariffs and a ton of paperwork. Lets not forget the food inspections that will take time as well. This means that companies aware of that remove suppliers from the UK from their supply line. They prefer safe, swift and no extra costs and paperwork. The only measure to avoid a total catastrophe are more customs officers about 10 times more and about time times more facilities to process the lorries. Everything else is just hot air.

  29.  @jjgen736  Not really the amount of private debt of the British is quite high. The poverty is shocking as the UN report about the UK showed. Statement on Visit to the United Kingdom, by Professor Philip Alston, United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights "14 million people in the UK, a fifth of the population, live in poverty. Four million of these are more than 50% below the poverty line,1 and 1.5 million are destitute, unable to afford basic essentials.2 The widely respected Institute for Fiscal Studies predicts a 7% rise in child poverty between 2015 and 2022, and various sources predict child poverty rates of as high as 40%.3 For almost one in every two children to be poor in twenty-first century Britain is not just a disgrace, but a social calamity and an economic disaster, all rolled into one. But the full picture of low-income well-being in the UK cannot be captured by statistics alone. Its manifestations are clear for all to see. The country’s most respected charitable groups, its leading think tanks, its parliamentary committees, independent authorities like the National Audit Office, and many others, have all drawn attention to the dramatic decline in the fortunes of the least well off in this country. But through it all, one actor has stubbornly resisted seeing the situation for what it is. The Government has remained determinedly in a state of denial." https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/Poverty/EOM_GB_16Nov2018.pdf

  33.  @johnbull9195  You forgot to mention that the UK did not leave Ireland as the elected government of Ireland asked them to leave. The UK artificially created a local majority in what they called Northern Ireland.

  34. Stacey Bing - I guess after more then 2 years of such negotiation with the UK who has no clue what they want they might smile as the UK closes the door behind and leaves.

  35.  @CatholicSatan  Under the objecting countries are the US, China, Russia, New Zealand, Australia. the UK must now negotiate individually with each of the 20 countries to address their objections before the schedule can be certified. Fox said DIT was preparing a formal invitation to open negotiations and hoped to reach a “mutually satisfactory conclusion that maintains the balance of rights and obligations for the UK and our trading partners”. With 3 months to go, the announcement meant there was “no chance the matter will be resolved in time for Brexit”, MacNeil said. “Liam Fox was hoping for a quick and easy process to establish the terms of the UK’s WTO membership before Brexit takes place,” he said, adding that the plan was now “in tatters”. He noted that the government had yet to begin the formal certification process for its WTO schedule for services, which make up a majority of the UK's economy. Earlier in the week, Fox had told the committee the government had informally shared its services schedule with WTO members and that DIT was preparing a final version. The department would begin the formal certification process for the schedule “towards the end of the autumn”, after which WTO members would have 45 days to object, he said in a letter to the committee dated 20 October. “lf objections are raised, we will take a decision on suitable next steps, based on the nature of the objections,” Fox said. In the letter, which set out DIT’s progress on its Brexit preparations, Fox had said the government expected support for its goods schedule, but expected some countries to object. He insisted that operating on uncertified schedules would not affect trade. But MacNeil warned that although Fox had suggested it was a “mere technicality”, trading on uncertified schedules after Brexit presented “a number of potential problems for the government”. “It’s likely to take years to resolve this issue – and if any of the objections are upheld at the end of that process, the UK government will be liable to pay compensation for any material losses that have been sustained under the uncertified schedules,” he said. He warned that failure to agree WTO schedules could also hinder the UK’s pursuit of free trade agreements with other countries, as they form the baseline for these negotiations. “The question now is: will other countries want to negotiate trade deals with us when our baseline still hasn’t been fixed?”

  37.  @Robert-cu9bm  The reality is that every truck which is Non EU now takes easily 6 times longer then one from the EU. As the EU leaves the EU every truck will take 6 times longer. So far 10% where non EU and took so much longer. This means that the workload will be 90% more and it will take days. A five minute delay per tuck will result in an 18 mile long parking row on day one.

  38.  @Porkcylinder  Very attentive from you that the British car industry which is largely owned by foreign companies will downsize and leave the UK over time. They are only in the UK, because the UK is in the EU single market and customs union. Nissan alone needs 3 million parts a day for production. 60% parts of most cars produced in the UK come from the other 27 EU countries The parts have to be delivered mostly just in time and this works only with friction-less trade in the EU single market and customs union.

  39.  @dlawss  I am sure the UK will hire someone who never build a wall, has not one builder under contract and has guidelines on their web page from another pizza delivery service. They had great success with a ferry company without ferries.

  44. paulo taiwan I guess they export not 48% of their goods to the EU27. I guess they do not need EU imports for their car industry. Most cars assembled in the UK have 60% parts from the EU27. Nissan alone needs 2 million parts a day. This works only with just in time delivery as they have only parts for a few hours of production. This works only with frictionless trade in the EU single market and customs union say the representatives of the car industry. The Japanese already said in a letter to the UK government and EU that their companies invested in the UK under the promise of EU single market and customs union. So 144000 jobs Japanese companies provide in the EU may downsize or just leave.

  45. The UK voted to lose.  70% of fish caught by UK vessels is exported to the EU, 50% of cars assembled in the UK are exported to the EU, 44% of all UK exports go to the EU. The UK worsens trade with 120 countries in January 2021 Abs the UK loses jobs, loses tax revenue, loses investment and loses well educated Brits to the brain drain. They leave the isolationist Island for better chances in other countries. The UK loses up to 90 billion every year.
    7
  46. @Rosy Afternoon As you bring up the job situation. 3 million jobs in the UK depend on the export into the EU27 as they are with 48% the largest export market. 90% of UK exports profits from EU agreement or treaties. So losing frictionless trade in the EU, facing all kind of paperwork and regulation, slowing delivery with customs and all that makes UK products less competitive in the EU. Companies in the EU27 have already begun to reroute their supply lines away from the UK. They want it easy, safe and without paperwork or complication. Losing access to all the agreements and treaties makes trade on a global scale harder for UK businesses. The EU exports 1800 billion all over the world. Oh and the UK are about 8% of EU exports.

  52. Christopher Watch how the UK sells itself to the US. The US demands the pound to be bound to the US dollar, privatization of NHS and flushing of food standards.

  53.  @davidrobertsemail  The UK is a nice to have market, but the UK exports 44% of its goods in the EU. The EU exports 8%. So 92% of EU trade is with the outside world. The EU exports for 1800 billion globally.

  54.  @suroj  Really, where does it say so and how many? Protest in Belgium are about the austerity politics of the government. Remember the austerity politic the Tories use in the UK and the British accept it like sheep while people in Belgium don't.

  62. Thomas Bevan - Not much longer the Japanese will pack up and more back into the EU single market and customs union. They may leave in parts or as a whole, but they surely will return into the EU as this brought them to Europe in the first place.

  63.  @mw01908  As the UK becomes a third country which has no treaties with the EU. So tariffs apply, tons of paperwork has to be checked, customs duties paid, standards for foods checked. It is like any other border to a third country which has no treaties with the EU.

  64.  @lorenacharlotte8383 Shared Souvereignty makes 27 souvereign countries stronger, one has more power as a 16 trillion economy. The 2 trillion British choose to be a rule taker. We see that in the Japan UK trade treaty in which the benefit for Japan is 84% according to UK trade negotiators.

  67.  @johnathanpearson3203  - What does the UK export? The UK buys stuff (low pound buys less) make other stuff out of it. So the weaker the pound the more costly to import the parts one need to build and then export. In reality the UK just loses.
    5
  68.  @davidrobertsemail  If the UK would treat international treaties like this then no one will want one with them. By the way the UK depends for 44% of its exports on the EU. We talk here of up to 3 million British jobs. By the way the EU will sue the UK if they don't pay. The yearly losses for the UK of not being in the EU single market and customs union have been estimated to be between 70 to 100 billion per year. Unaccounted for are the companies leaving the UK or downsizing and the job losses included in that.

  71.  @enoch6450  Really? Can you explain to me the difference between a trade treaty like Canada and the EU single market, customs union, frictionless trade all EU member states have? I think there is a misunderstanding. Let me make it clear the UK benefits massively (about 100 billion) from EU membership. If the UK would have nothing then they loose 100 billion per year. If they had a Canada trade treaty they lose about 70 billion per year compared to EU membership.

  72.  Louise Rothwell  - An all Irish government asked the British occupation force to leave. They stayed in NI and erected a British border in Ireland. So it is a British choice to cling to that Irish territory.

  77. Tania Thorn - The government is not interested in the real numbers. Death outside hospitals have not been counted. In France for example where they are counted everywhere 50% of death happen outside hospitals. So the UK number are twice as high and that means the UK is after the US the state with the most dead from the virus. The Tories do not like that so they try to hide the facts and obfuscate.

  81. Slaine Saxon - Why are people so eager to trade on the lowest level like Mauretania? From all WTO members only Mauretania trades solely under the lowest trade conditions aka WTO. All other WTO countries have made trade treaties and arrangements with their closest trading partners. Many of these countries are in trade blocs to increase their leverage and joined power in trade negotiations.

  82.  @ElectricInevitability  The EU is a 16 trillion market and a giant beside the US with 20 trillion and China with 12 trillion. The UK is a 2 trillion economy with a long way to look up to The giants.

We can guess this results in job lossedin the UK unless they come with the company.

  95.  @MrAllnvme  As I said South Korea tested and tracked down every single case. The UK missed that as the Tories are sleeping. While South Korea hunted down the virus Johnson made 2 week holiday.

  97.  Louise Rothwell  The problem is that the invitation to leave for the British came from an all Irish government in the 20th century. The British choose to ignore it and erect a British border. The Good Friday Agreement has been negotiated between two EU members and the basis of this treaty was EU membership so as the UK leaves one has to make a new treaty protecting the GFA. The UK failed to do that so far.

  101. Tess Tickle Exactly as this is a withdrawal agreement. The trade treaty negotiations will take about 6 year. This is the amount of time it took with Canada and this deal was much simpler as it involved far less. So we can look forward to interesting years to come. But when I see the deeply divided Tories who love to fight with each other and have no majority for anything Brexit related it might take 12 years.

  105.  @jpw6893  It is not a trade agreement, but a membership. This membership comes with privileges worth up to 100 billions a year and surprisingly one has to contribute to the organisation one belongs to for all the services they provide. Some of them are the trade treaties with 80 countries and frictionless trade with 27 more countries. So one has privileged trade access to 107 countries in the world.

  106. Matt Lemons - 27 countries agreed to one negotiator. The UK changed their negotiators and one was worse then the other. Now it turns out that the UK negotiator had neither a mandate nor the backing of the majority of Parliament. This is an embarrassment.

  111.    May be it is news to some here but the UK exports 48% into the EU and about 3 million jobs depend on these exports. The UK depends on EU imports as most cars assembled in the UK have 60% parts from the EU 27. Most of these cars will be sold in the EU. They need just in time delivery for this kind of production and this works only in the Eu single market and customs union. The representative of the car industry already said their business model does not work with the Brexit and this will endanger directly and indirectly a few hundred thousand jobs.

  120. flapjackfred - It is freedom to work where you find work. Everyone has 3 month to show he or she can support themselves 100%. If not they have to leave. This works fine in many EU countries. The UK government never did anything about it. They were either to lazy or did not understand the rules. What is is laziness or did not get it?

  124.  @cynderfan2233  Most cars produced in the UK have 60% parts from the EU. They are part of a EU wide just in time delivery chain. This works only in an EU single market and customs union as they provide frictionless trade. The car plants have parts only for a few hours of production and if trucks are stuck in Dover in Customs, paper works and so on then this stops. Jaguar Landrover said that this Brexit crash out will cost them 1,2 billion. Many foreign companies are only in the UK, because the UK is in the EU single market and customs union. If the UK leaves they leave the UK in part or as a whole.

  125.  @jonfairhurst71  The UK exports to its largest market are 48%. About 90% of British exports profits from EU agreements or trade treaties. The EU exports 8% into the UK. Not to mention that most cars that are assembled in the UK have 60% parts from the EU. Nissan alone needs 3 million parts a day and they have reserves for half a day. So without a constant just in time delivery everything stops.

  153.  @awesomeavenger2810  The EU is the most sucessful single market and one of the three giants in trade (beside the US and China). The UK made commitments and forgot to tell their voters.

  157.  @johnhumphrey9174  The least I heard is that they try to use more customs officers. Let me give you an example. A bathtub fills faster with water then it can flow out. The British "solution" is use a tank to hold it in. The problem is that delays only that the bath tub overflows for a few days max. The non British solution is to use more customs officers so more trucks can pass or in our example more water can flow out. So they increase the amount of trucks pass customs while the British solution is wait till the water floods the bathroom.

  177. Robin GSNR The UK exports 48% into the EU27. Most cars assembled in the UK need 60% EU27 parts. They are delivered just in time as it would be to costly otherwise.

  179.  @erictull2089  The UK exports 48% to the other EU countries. All other EU countries export only 8% into the EU. What should they be back for? The UK send negotiators without mandate and majority backing from Parliament to the EU. After 2 years the UK negotiators and the EU came to an agreement which is worthless as the UK negotiators had neither mandate nor majority backing of Parliament. So it makes no sense to negotiate with the UK at all.

The UK worsens trade with 120 countries in January 2021 Abs the UK loses jobs, loses tax revenue, loses investment and loses well educated Brits to the brain drain. They leave the isolationist Island for better chances in other countries. The UK loses up to 90 billion every year.

  220. 0 0 You are aware that the EU is with 48% its main export market. So if your main export market would be in bad shape they would buy less UK goids and that means in the UK jobs would be lost. 3 million UK jobs depend on trade with the EU.

  221. The Velo in the Vale - Do you know that the Tories cut more then 10.000 police job? Do you know that the Tories cut thousands of NHS beds?

  222.  @ShiroNekoDen  The Red Cross has a flag so are they a state? The olympic moverment has an anthem, so are they a state? A lot of organisation and groups have flags or anthems and are no states. Some countries in the EU share a currency (10 EU countries do not have the EURO) and a lot like the UK who is an EU member does not. So you argument falls flat. Let me ask you a question? Who is the EU? The EU are the 28 (soon 27) sovereign states and the governments of every state agreed on every nook and cranny. You don't like it well the elected representatives of the UK did? They did not only agree, they were often the one who took the initiative. The UK got 94% of the time what they wanted. May be one should look the government more on the fingers what they actually do. To come to the conclusion it is a straw man they is built with the claim. The Red Cross has a flag, the olympic movement has an anthem. So two more states? They are simple organisations.

The Good Friday Agreement is based on the EU membership of both sides. So one has to make a new treaty protecting the GFA. The troubles caused is the result of the UK not leaving Ireland 100 years ago after an all Irish government told them to go.

  277. The Boxing Fan - In the UK party leadership and PM are the same for the party with a majority in Parliament. The Tories lost another party leader/PM over Brexit and so they vote a new party leader. It starts with a selection process by the MPs. The one with the lowest vote count are eliminated till only two remain. These two are then chosen by the Tory party members. So around 60001 and one Tories will decide over the PM for 65 million.

  279. David Campbell - The UK exports 48% of its goods in to the EU. About 3 million jobs depends on this exports in the EU27. The UK depend on EU27 import for most cars which are assembled in the UK. 60% parts of these cars are from the EU27. They have to be delivered just in time and this works only in the EU single market and customs union. Leading representatives of car industry in the UK said that many of the jobs (about 800.000 work directly in or indirectly for the car industry) are at risk through Brexit.

  290.  Leroy Jenkins  The UK is the six largest economy and dropping as India is coming closer and closer. No one trades solely under WTO terms. All have arrangements and trade treaties with there most important trading nations. When one destroys access to 50 trade treaties and frictionless trade with 27 more countries then one destroys the competitiveness of the own export economy. Jaguar Landrover said that under crash out WTO they will loose 1,2 billion through Brexit alone. As they have a lot more costs.
    2
  291.  @Billy2011C  They case to exist as crashing out of the EU single market and customs union will cost jobs, tax revenue will be lost and some companies will leave in part or as a whole. Thus means taxes will be raised, borrowing increases and services will be worse.
    2
  292.  @Billy2011C  Frictionless trade is a prereqisite for just in time delivery like for the British ( largely foreign owned) car industry. Most cars assembled in the UK have 60% parts from the EU. If that won't work thrn leaving is cheaper then a huge storage and extra costs and delays. Destroying trade treaties with 80 countries destroys trade to a certain extend. It is easier to get a new EU supplier that delivers in time, with no paper work and no extra costs. A lot of foreign companies are only in the UK to produce for the EU single markey. If the UK leaves they leave. Yes for a long time the British government never told the truth to the people. Losses per year can raise up to 109 billion. This means lost jobs, lost tax revenue and more taxes, more debts.

  295. The having our cake and eat it approach is still alive. Does anyone notice that the UK will be out by the 29th of March? By the way the withdrawal negotiations have been concluded between the EU und UK over a month ago. This is the negotiated deal after 2 years.

  298.  @A203D  The point was the claim that British Politicans have been accountable for what they did. I have not seen any evidence for that claim that it happens to every politician. So Blair was just an example that questioned the claim that British politicians have been accountable in the past for anything.
    2
  299.  @A203D  It is a bit late to ask that after 40 years. Ask Thatcher and every other PM and every MP who ever supported that. Not to mention all the people who agreed to it in 1975.

  303.  @TheTwinight  The US demand it for there trade treaty, the ambassador said so. The US will crush the UK agriculture sector and rip of the NHS. This is just the beginning. The US is a 20 trillion economy and the UK a 2,8 trillion economy. Trade deals always favor the bigger countries.
    2
  304.  @R0B1NG5  The UK will be pulled over the barrel this is what happens when a 2,8 trillion economy faces a 20 trillion economy. It will be one sided, the US will get whatever they want and the UK nothing the US does not allow them to have.

  305. Mark Jones - About 66% of Labour voters voted Remain. One has to do something to keep them.

  306.  @renegade2853  I would have agreed with you before the UK voted to destroy parts of their economy and voted to be poorer, lose jobs, lose tax income and lose credibility. So I am not sure other countries would not hurt themselves for vague terms and empty words.

  307. I totally agree with you, but I am sure kinder garden will protest as they have higher standards, are more orderly, plan thoroughly and do their job.

  308. No deal= hard border. The UK leaving the EU without any other treaties in place results in a hard border through the actions of the UK. Hard border means that no agreement between the UK and the EU exists about the standards and regulation of goods and people crossing.
    2
  309. Angela J - When one destroys willingly parts of the economy as they depend on the frictionless trade then this is not a risk it is willful destruction of parts of the economy. Most cars assembled in the UK need 60% parts from the EU27. Many are delivered just in time as to keep them on stock is to costly. Nissan alone needs 2 million parts every day. They can produce about half a day and when then the right parts in the right order do not arrive then the production stops. Leaving the EU will cause a ton of paperwork for imports, it will cost and only 2 more minutes at the border cause 17 miles of lorries parking. The heads of the car industry said that without EU single market and customs union jobs are at risk. This means they will invest in other places and let things run out here. One can question how many if any will be left here.

  310. Who put 120000 Russian troops on the border to Crimea? Who invaded Ukraine in 2014 even as Russia signed two treaties that guarantees the Ukrainian border? Russia.

  311. @Russian Troll so Im told So where is the plan for the day after Brexit in which it says so? By the way as Minford the Brexit economist proudly said this will destroy UK agriculture. So more foreign food exports are coming.
    2
  312.  @lesigh1749  I guess this is why the Uak imported food in WW2 because they wanted not to put more effort in agriculture. UK.depends for a long time on food imports.
    2
  313. Phil Dobson As the UK gets a rebate so much money as you say was never paid. Not to mention that the act of the UK to crash out breaks the Good Friday agreement and erects a hard border. The UK largest market with 44% exports are the other EU nations. More then 3 million people depend on these jobs. The other 27 EU countries exports a meager 8% into the UK. Most cars assembled in the UK have 60% parts from the other 27 EU nations. So not one of these cars can be sold without imports from the other 27 EU countries.

  316.  @anghinetti  The UK negotiated for 2 years a withdrawal agreement. It is signed and needs only the agreement of 28 parliaments. That the UK send negotiators without a mandate and no majority in Parliament is the UKs problem alone.

  317.  @clarksonbarry  This is a withdrawal agreement and settling the accounts It is about the UK leaving and losing all access a member has. What was their to expect but losses?

  319. T-Rex Racing - Through Dover passes a lot of just in time delivery. Most cars assembled in the UK need 60% parts from the EU27. Nissan alone needs 3 million parts per day. Without just in time delivery it is no longer cost effective for large parts of the car industry to produce in he UK.

  326.  @jameswhiteley6843  Why aren't we honest? It is a totally chaotic crash that destroys part of the British economy. The UK destroys frictionless trade with 27 countries and destroys trade treaties with 50 more. So the UK trades on level of Mauretania.

  327.  @johnnyc792  What are you talking about? This is a withdrawal agreement it is about losing orderly all membership rights and settling the accounts.

  335. Em Welshgirl - Lets take the car industry. Most cars assembled in the UK have 60% parts from the other EU countries. These car plants are largely owned by foreign companies. They have in interest to produce a competitive product and so have an EU wide supply chain. Most of these cars are sold to the EU27.

  337.  @wilsonmanch6773  The Tories are used to get away with lying and doing nothing. This behaviour kills people in a pandemic. Johnson the PM in hiding did shake hands in the midst of a pandemic and caught the virus. Such stupid and ignorant behaviour is normal for Tories. We have various promised Johnson made about more personal for the NHS which was a lie more hospitals which was a lie. The latest lie is that while 100 NHS workers died because of the lack of PPE that everything is ok. Allen the stupid slogan to protect the NHS. The job of the NHS is to protect the workers and the patients. So the Tories tell.the people don't use the services you need and have a right to use so we can pretend that we haven't underfunded and understaffed the NHS and do not allow the people to have the PPE they need to do their job.

  341.    What are you talking about? I quoted repesentatives of the car industry which said that hundredthousands of jobs are endangered by Brexit.

  343.  @Ian-pm8ll  The EU is a 16 trillion economy, the UK is a 2 something trillion economy. The UK exports 44% to other EU countries, the EU only 8% into the UK. Not to mention that the EU has trade treaties with more then 80 countries. The EU always welcomes a trade treaty on their terms. First lesson for a 2 trillion economy you are a rule taker when talking to the giants in trade the US, China and the EU. They choose under what terms others trade with them.

  345.  Tim Webb  What does the UK do who exports 44% in the EU and the EU only 8% into the UK? By the way most cars assembled in the UK have 60% parts from other EU countries. More then 50% of these cars are sold to the other EU countries. The UK imports food as they cover only 54% of their needs another 30% comes from other EU countries. The last 16% from other countries.

Not to mention the opt outs and extras an individual country like the UK got.

  367.  @slainesaxon3809  The EU already has trade treaties with a lot of countries. They trade 1800 billion globally. So the UK loses all these trade treaties with other countries. This is a withdrawal agreement and it is about the UK leaving. This means it is about losing all benefits a member has and become a third country like Canada. Well less like Canada as they have an EU trade treaty.

The EU has 440 million citizen and a 16 trillion economy. By the way the US trade treaty means for the UK the privatization of the NHS, the lowering of food standards so that the American Agro-business can flatten the UK agriculture and not to forget to enslave the Pound Sterling to the Dollar.

  390.  Ginza  Yes the UK is a society of some filthy rich and a lot poor. "Low wages, insecure jobs, and zero hour contracts mean that even at record unemployment there are still 14 million people in poverty. Government Ministers emphasized that only 3% of the workforce on zero hours contracts, with no benefits or security. But that amounts to almost one million workers, and a great many of them will be among the most vulnerable members of society. And the Equalities and Human Rights Commission found that 10% of workers over 16 are in insecure employment.61 Jobs aren’t even a guarantee against people needing food banks. The Trussell Trust told me that one in six people referred to their food banks is in work. One pastor said “The majority of people using our food bank are in work…. Nurses and teachers are accessing food banks." Statement on Visit to the United Kingdom, by Professor Philip Alston, United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/Poverty/EOM_GB_16Nov2018.pdf

  391.  Ginza  fullfact.org - Around 13 million people are living in absolute poverty in the UK, after housing costs are taken into account—that’s one in five. 14 million people are living in relative poverty, after housing costs. https://fullfact.org/economy/one-in-five-poverty/?utm_source=content_page&utm_medium=related_content

  394.  @fromthesilence9583  The UK is leaving and burns the equivalence of 750 treaties. Leaving is about losing. So the UK can make an offer and see if it is good enough for the EU.

  395. @stephen crowther The EU is an organisation of sovereign states. The head of states are all democratically elected and together they come to agreements for their countries.

  396. Martin Ford - This is illegal under WTO. One can have only the same tariff for cars to all WTO members. The only exception is a treaty with a lower or no tariff. So your idea is a breach of WTO.

  397. @Russian Troll so Im told I guess no one told thrm that most cars assembled in the Uak have 60% parts from the EU that need just in time delivery. No one told them either that more then 50% of these cars assembled in the UK are sold into the EU. Such a cruel world!

  415.  @ciaranaspell  The problem is that people do not really understand that the GFA Todays works only when all parties involved are in the EU. So you need new treaties covering that to protect the GFA. So that one is not making new treaties and considers leaving means to breach the GFA. We can now ask ourselves are the people who want to crash out to thick to understand or do that just not care.

  422.  @gabrielortiz6691  As I said sitting in a leakung boat become normal and one gets all proud when a large wave did not sink the boat. The UK system is confrontational and aims to eliminate the other side. Not to mention the games where one side tries to oumtaneuver the other in a legalistic way. They behave like children trying to win a game with all means possible. So in any situation when cooperation is needed they are basically screwed. The 3 and a half year no decision shows that the UK system just does not work.

  423.  @gabrielortiz6691  It is a constitutional problem to regulate and give a clear path so that a democratic majority can legislate. What we see here are kind of card tricks and blinders which a minority uses to get their way.

So only an orderly leaving of the EU or a chaotic crash out. The UK wants to be out and it will be out. So it was the choice of the UK and no one else.

  441. Joachim K - Some people seem to understand that a crash out means the UK pulls up every hindrances in trade possible and trades on the worst possible conditions (WTO). This is why all other countries have made better arrangements with their closest trading partners. Many of them are even in trading blocs. A lone country that showed it is untrustworthy to keep any treaty as they crashed out will be the last another country wants a treaty with. Just to mention the Japanese PM who basically said to May as she asked him about a trade deal. "Go home and don't come back before your issues with the EU are settled." Crashing out settles nothing to the UK will not be touched by many before they settled their accounts orderly. The UK seems to forget that a lot of countries have trade treaties with the largest single market on earth and cherish them.

  444.  @Amazinggrace1984  This is based on what denomination? This is based on which version of the bible?

  459.  @Ian-pm8ll  No the fault are the Tories alone as they are the government. I am sorry but the UK has to look after their interests and the EU looks after their interests.

So every Tory voter voted an incompetent, time wasting government that get nothing done in regard to Brexit.

  463. John Ertel - The only reason there was a non binding referendum was that a Tory PM wanted to silence Tory who hates the EU and to kill of the UKIP party. The Tory PM had never any intent to give the people any power nor leave the EU. He used the people to get rid of his enemies. It did not work as he planned. So the Tories will never ever give the people any form of real choice or power.

As the UK is a leading member of the EU a lot of the rules are made in UK or at least strongly influenced by the UK. Not to mention that a 16 trillion economy and a 2 trillion economy are never on a level playing field. The US (20 trillion), China (12 trillion) and the EU (16 trillion) are giants in trade and they set rules other can choose to follow.

  500.  @ninjatheory7846 Go to the patent website where you can look up any patent. Try to find it and test the claim. Try to find covid-19 In the patent.

But this would mean that people actually read details and inform themselves at the source and not hearsay videos.

  502.  @kirstenhartley7559  Should this mean something? Brexit is about leaving and an economy that exports 48% into the EU will take a hit. With leaving the EU the UK will pull up all kind of hindrances for trade as in paperwork and tariff and non-tariff barriers. This will cost jobs, will cost tax revenue.

  503. John Carden - Where do you have your WTO claims from? They are the lowest trade conditions possible. No one wants to trade under them.

  515. Ravedaze - The UK exports 48% into the EU and the EU only 8% into the UK. Most cars assembled in the UK need 60% parts from the EU27 as in time delivery and without EU single market and customs union this business model is dying as it is to costly to keep large stock. So they will invest and expand at other places like Jaguar Landrover does with his plant on the continent.
    1
  516. @Margaret Pitts Why are we then not listening to Jaguar-Landrover? As they say that Brexit costs them 1,2 billion a year and this means no research and they have to cut costs asap. The logicla consequence would be to cut loose from the UK asap

  517. @Margaret Pitts When you destroy frichtionless trade with 27 other countries and more then 60% of the parts of most cars assembled in the UK come from the EU. Then this industry depend on that frictionless trade to work. Otherwise one simply destroys a a good part of that industry.

  554. ​ @rosshilton  You mean crashed out with dire consequences loss of jobs, loss of tax revenue, less social services and may be higher taxes to make up these losses. By the way the agreement to the EU has increased in all 27 EU countries, In Ireland for example it is up to 80% pro EU.
    1
  555.  @rosshilton  The UK exports 44% into the EU and 16% over EU trade treaties. So 60% depend directly on the EU and without single market, customs union and a loss of 50 trade treaties this will be a negative supply shock for the export industry. We speak here about 2-3 million British jobs. Most cars assembled in the UK have 60% parts from the EU. The representative of the automotive industry made it very clear that without EU single market and customs union the just in time delivery does no longer work. They trucks roll into the factory and within hours unloaded and the parts put in a car. Jaguar-Landrover estimated that Brexit costs them 1,2 billion a year and they will cut costs. Let us guess where?
    1
  556.  @rosshilton You claimed the EU is not the largest market for the UK. With an export of 44% into the EU and 16% through EU treaties this claim of yours is without substance. I am sure this will impress the car industry with their dependence that most cars assembled in the UK have 60% EU parts that have to be delivered just in time. So what hard numbers do we have about the Rotterdam effect? We have 44% of UK exports in the EU and 16% through EU trade treaties. Are we talking 2%, 3%, 5%?
    1
  557.  @rosshilton  Do you know what a negative supply shock is why the UK causes it to itself? 1.)The UK exports 44% into the EU and it is the largest single market one exports to. I think second comes the US with 16%. So surprise with 44% the EU is the largest single market the UK sells to. 2.) The claim that destorying 50 trade treaties is without consequences for the economy is amazing. What kind of study do you have to back that up? Please share a link and tell me their arguments and evidence. 3. The assumed number is not really helpful. It would be nice if one had a study to back such a claim and to provide a link. I have the feelings it is this or that amount leads nowhere. 4. We still have the car industry with Jaguar Landrover that said that Brexit costs them 1.2 billion yearly. So they will cut costs and try to get rid of these costs asap. The just in time supply relies according to leading representatives in the automotive industry on the membership in the EU single market and customs union. If you ever saw the pile of paperwork it takes to even cross between Switzerland and the EU you would get an idea of costs, paperwork and delay. This is still easier compared to a third country without any treaties with the EU like the UK will be (if the do not decide otherwise).
    1
  558.  @rosshilton  Lets start with you made a claim that was false to begin with. The EU is the largest single market the UK exports to. As no other export is more then 44% into one single market.
    1
  559.  @rosshilton  Everything to make you feel better. The point is that the UK choose to give itself a negative supply shock in cutting itself of from the largest single market (or from individual countries that make up a huge part of their exports) and cutting itself of from 50 trade treaties.

  565.  @Andygb78  If the UK is their main market then they are already here. No reason to be anywhere else. Countries which are unable to provide perspective for lets say ten years are uninteresting for everyone, but vulture capitalists who plunder the leftovers. The losses for the UK will be between 70 and 100 billion per year and nothing will soften that. If you wilfully destroy your competitiveness in your largest market and all others then your export businesses will suffer. If they suffer then the companies who supplies them will suffer. Not to mention that the climate to invest is poisoned.

  585. @Amanda Hughes What some people do not understand is that in a political organisation of 28 sovereign countries no one calls the shot.

They were promised all kind of things and imagined their own. When one asks people they expected better pay, more jobs, better NHS, even a solution for the housing crisis. The reality is that we will see the brnifit of being ima single market member which is for the UK about 100 billion a year will vanish. This will mean losses in jobs, in tax revenue and credibility. So all these people wished does not only not happen, but it will go far worth.

  627.  @HomeShowTV Yes you are right. The Tories never had a majority on Leaving Since 2016 or it would be done and dusted. ERG radicals with a fantasy invisible flying unicorn Brexit. The Tory radicals killed the Tory negotiated withdrawal agreement. So the Tories never had any majority for leaving as they are split.

  628.  @HomeShowTV  No one stops Johnson from stepping down as PM. This legislation bill has been kept secret for over a year. Johnson could have brought it in many month ago. He choose not to do either he is either incompetent, lazy or has no clue about the complexity of the bill as he never read it or did not u understand it. The withdrawal agreement Johnson "negotiated" is with a border in the Irish Sea. This was a May red line. So basically giving up positions makes treaties easy.

  629.  @HomeShowTV  It would be civic responsibilty for a lame duck PM to go, but the Tories did not have any majority on Brexit for 3 years.

  657.  @Carl-im9gh  It matters what was on the ballot paper. We had all kind of empty promises about having our cake and eat it, that on day one eyerone should be better of, that the UK would keep all benefits for free afterwards, not to mention the prosecco and car poducers that woulf force their government to give the UK a great deal. An oldy but goody is the agreement with the EU in a day. So whatever was not on the ballot paper is irrelevant. Yes we had a lot of fantasies about Brexit and this is why I said two years ago that whatever Brexit will happen every Leaver will be frustrated. The Brexit they dreamed up did will not happen, but some other nobody wanted.

Most cars assembled in the UK have 60% parts from the EU27. They have to be delivered as just in time as otherwise the costs explode and they are no longer competitive. This works only in the EU single market and customs union. These are just a few jobs that are related to EU membership and may be influenced negatively through leaving or even be lost.

  699. Waaq Cir - The last I looked the majority of the 3 million that work in the industries that export 48% of the goods in the EU27. Most working in the British car industry as well.

  702.  @TheDotBot  The UK is a monarchical leftover. It pretends that 4 nations of unequal rights and unequal size belong somehow together. It totally ignores that Ireland left this unequal club with a war of independence and pretends unity where there is diversity. The only thing that nominally holds this together was the monarchy, but it is dysfunctional and unfit. Especially as still some kind of centralized Westminster rule hold these dominions as vassal with very limited rights.
    1
  703.  @TheDotBot  I just make some observations that the fudging comes to another obstacle. As a stronger movement demands sovereignty for Scotland and this will be a challenge as the current state is as a more or less rightless vassal to Westminster. The claim of four nations or countries in the UK gets harder and harder to rationalize as the inequalities shows more and more. In the daily life it is more England or Westminster with vassals.
    1
  704.  @TheDotBot  It has everything to do with a written constitution as in that the fudging would have to end and one defines the roles and rights of the different countries in that UK construct. Right now everything is in a float and nobody really knows or cares and one fudges along to survive another day.

  706. Rob Ortiz - This is a simple situation made complicated. The UK leaves a political organisation of sovereign countries. The problem in this issue is how to leave. A lot of people made promises about how easy and how wonderful leaving is but they turned out to be all lies. So the governing Tories can not agree how to leave. So Tory radicals stopped the own Tory negotiated withdrawal agreement to leave the EU. We have at least a dozen Leave scenarios people would like to have and they can not agree on one and vote on one.

The Tories never gave the voters any choice about the when, the how and the circumstances of the leave. So the Tory government is free to do a thousand treaties if they can agree to do that. For example Switzerland has over 100 treaties with the EU while not being a member of the EU.

  779.  @Billy2011C  I mean crashing out as in giving oneself a negative supply shock.

    1
  780.  @Billy2011C What kind of comparison is that? The UK has 2-3 million jobs that depend on exports. Greenland has not even so many inhabitants. The UK exports 44% into other EU countries. The UK car industry imports 60% of it parts for most cars assembled in the UK from the EU. This is done as just in time management. This works only in the EU single market and customs union. 144.000 British jobs are provided by 1200 Japanese firms in the UK. The Japaneses clearly said they were promised by the UK government frictionless trade within the EU single market and customs union. The business model of many do not work from outside. So they either leave for other countries, go back to Japan or leave for the EU. In the end crashing out means a loss in jobs, loss in tax revenue and increase in borrowing and debts and increasing taxes. So unless you are a Tory millionaire like Johnson, Rees Mogg or millionaire Farage one get hurt.

  784.  @mikeshadez  Car manufacture as it is done Today depends on large volume, in time delivery and an EU wide supply line. This does not work outside the EU single market and customs union. Outside of that is to costly, to slow and not competitive. Sure one can try to adapt in a small market which never has the volume one needs to produce, but the easiest way in invest in your other plants and let the ones in the UK shrink and move out when the production cycle is over.

The UK had more then 2 years of negotiation and they are closed. It is an internal UK problem if the Tories send negotiators without mandate and majority. This will caution anyone to believe anything government agreed to in negotiations as the Tories are so deeply divided.

  828.  @awesomeavenger2810  The Tories called the piper the Tories pay the piper. The Brexit referendum was a try from the PM to silence the Leavers in the Tory party. It turned out differently and the Tories have send a letter in accordance with article 50 to leave. The Tories negotiated for over two years and the Tories are to divided to agree on anything in regard of Brexit. Factually the UK.has a dysfunctional Tory government which is impotent in regard to Leave.

This will make trade more costly, slower, uncertain. The only way for companies to compensate the extra costs and the loss in trade is to do it with less workers. A lot of foreign companies are only in the UK, because they are in the EU. So they will leave in part or as a whole to return into the EU single market and customs union. We already see this and thid means well paid jobs go, but worse these companies have suppliers and they will need them less or no longer at all. So we see a lot of jobs are endangered

We all know that the people most often knew not how the EU worked. We have decades of scapegoating and blaming for all kind of things which either where a distortion or outright lies. The creator of many of these lies is now the PM. Even when you listen Today to MPs they either lack a basic understanding of the EU or the outright lie.

  896.  JohnB Wright  If we take out the emotional assumptions and just look at the basic facts then we have a British border in Ireland and the Good Friday Agreement that tried to bring peace. The UK crushing out of the EU will break the good Friday Agreement. So it takes a treaty to support the GFA as both parties are no longer in the EU. The GFA works only in the EU. So the EU tries to solve a purely British caused problem. The backstop is only necessary if all other measure do not work. The UK promised all kind of other measures that will work so not problem at all. The UK has only to deliver these other methods they claim that work. It is so easy unless the British lied about the other solutions. As Johnson the notorious liar who lost two jobs because of lying was one of them the chances are high that he did not tell the truth.
    1
  897.  JohnB Wright  Yes this is a fear and a lot of people are frightened about various this but this is an emotional response without factual evidence. Who came up with that version of the backstop? The UK. Why is it necessary? To protect the Good Friday Agreement. Why do we have a Good Friday Agreement? Because of a British border in Ireland and the colonial leftover. The Irish government of a United Ireland send the British occupying Ireland home, but they kept some of Ireland. So we have a British problem that other try to solve with thrm.

We will see how the 20 trillion economy "America First" will balance the trade deficit Trump hates so much. (The UK sells more to the US as they buy from the US and Trump hates that.) We will see if the US opens the UK market with a ram or a crow bar., but may be the UK just hands them a signed blank sheet where the US fill in their demands.

  920.  @millwallholdings  Please explain to me what generally a fact is according to your definition. It seems your use is not covered by the definition. A fact is a thing that is known to be consistent with objective reality and can be proven to be true with evidence. For example, "this sentence contains words" is a linguistic fact, and "the sun is a star" is a cosmological fact. Further, "Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States" and "Abraham Lincoln was assassinated" are also both facts. All of these statements have the epistemic quality of being ontologically superior to opinion or interpretation — they are either categorically necessary or supported by adequate historical documentation. Conversely, while it may be both consistent and true that "most cats are cute", it's not a fact. Generally speaking, facts transcend belief and serve as concrete descriptions of a state of affairs on which beliefs can later be assigned. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability — that is whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience. Standard reference works are often used to check facts. Scientific facts are verified by repeatable careful observation or measurement by experiments or other means.

  928. Rumpoleful - Enjoy then 10 year negotiation with the EU on all the unsolved issues. Not to mention the 100 billion loss to the UK economy per year. This means a loss in jobs, a loss in tax revenue and a loss in social services like the NHS. Leaving like this will be a crash into a brick wall.
    1
  929.  @Rumpoleful  Can you elaborate your concerns? The UK PM asked under order from the sovereign UK parliament from the EU for an extension of its membership for the third time. The UK would have left in March if not Tories had blocked the Tory deal that Tories negotiated.
    1
  930.  @Rumpoleful  Well the UK government obviously missed to mention to the voters the commitments they made in the name of the UK. The UK has right now access to trade treaties with 80 countries and frictionless trade with 27 more countries. People have to actually work for doing all the paperwork and negotiation. The UK uses dozens of EU agencies like one Aviation or medicine and many. These people working for decades in the EU for all members including the UK have a pension to be paid. The UK agreed to the 7 year finance plan from 2014 to December 2020. They agreed to pay to the commitment they made. Yes British politicians are not very good in explaining or even understanding the services, the pensions, the financial commitments they made. We can ask ourselves are they to uninformed, are they just failing to explain it properly or are they just lying.

  942.  @brucemcdonald4372  The funny thing when you are a 16 trillion economy is that this is not so much money and that the EU will sue the UK for it. Not to mention that the 44% of the UK exports go into the other EU countries, 16% over EU trade treaties. So the UK harms 60% of its exports and gives it self a negative supply shock.

  948.  @brucemcdonald4372 Try this out in your sports club and walk out with the furniture. Tell me how that turned out. The UK made commitments and the politicians did not tell the voters about. The UK will learn the hard way that they need the 16 trillion EU economy.

The Japanese said it quite clearly that their 1200 companies which provide about 144000 jobs come only because of the government promises of EU single market and custom union. So we will see companies leave in part or as a whole. This means job losses and losses in tax revenue. This is worsened as the export in 80 countries is hindered by UK trade barriers after March 2019.

If you say one country likes ice cream it does not mean that everyone does it, but that a large portion of the society does. So it does not matter if in one town a majority might not like ice cream when one speaks of a country.

    1
  1017.  @samrowbotham8914  What exactly is your claim based on? To consider a country as sovereign there are 8 criteria. Scotland (and England) fails to meet six of the eight criteria to be considered an independent country by lacking: sovereignty, autonomy on foreign and domestic trade, power over social engineering programs like education, control of all its transportation and public services, and recognition internationally as an independent country. While Scotland certainly has economic activity and an organized economy, it does not regulate its own foreign or domestic trade and instead defaults to decisions handed down by the United Kingdom's Parliament—which is elected by citizens from England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland.  National government departments such as the Department for Education and Skill maintain responsibility for social engineering, so England does not control its own programs in that department, nor does it control the national transportation system, despite having its own system of trains and buses. Although Scotland does have its own local law enforcement and fire protection provided by local governments, Parliament controls criminal and civil law, the prosecution system, the courts, and defense and national security across the United Kingdom—Scotland does not and cannot have its own army. For this reason, Scotland also lacks sovereignty because the United Kingdom has all of this power over the state. Finally, Scotland does not have external recognition as an independent country nor does it have its own embassies in other independent countries; as a result, there's no possible way England could become an independent member of the United Nations. Thus, Scotland—as well as England, Wales, and Northern Ireland —is not an independent country but instead an internal division of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

  1018.  @samrowbotham8914  Sovereignty is an international legal term and only the UK is sovereign. England and Scotland are not this is very simple. One just looks on the list of the 193 souvereign countries and neither England nor Scotland made the list.
    1
  1019.  @samrowbotham8914  You understand that to be a sovereign country one needs international recognition? You might recall the 8 points I mentioned before for recognition. What you are talking about are British definitions which work within British borders, but not on international level.

  1023.  @samrowbotham8914  Once up in a time England was a sovereign country before it gave it up to become part of the the United Kingdom. It is the United Nation that has a seat in the United Nations. The passport is one from the United Kingdom, the parliament is the one of the United Kingdom.

  1024. @Comic Book Guy The UK exports 48% into the EU and 16% through EU trade treaties. So the UK depends for 64% of its exports on EU membership.

So when you blow up favorable trade agreements with 107 countries then they are gone and it takes time and effort and the conditions will be most likely worse.

  1061. @Jack Archer You can not walk away from a withdrawal agreement. Either you settle the accounts and sign a withdrawal agreement or you are a treaty breaking pariah state. The US might get away with that, the UK surely not. So either you are trustworthy and make withdrawal agreement or not. Then you crash out uncontrolled and it hurts the business even harder, more jobs get lost, more tax revenue got lost and someone has to pay higher taxes or the debts will grow. Countries have a mistrust to negotiate with someone who breaks treaties instead of following the protocol of a withdrawal agreement. Oh yes and voters have been lied to with promises of unicorns and great deals which never existed.

Not to mention this is a withdrawal agreement and this is about an orderly leave and losing what you once had. (Side note in 2017 15,6 million new cars have been bought in the EU+EFTA and only 2,5 in the UK. So the car producer go with the EU single market and EFTA.)

  1114.  Ginza  The UK has 2 million zero hour jobs. You just have to know how to fudge the statistic. Take a look into the UN poverty report about the UK.

Four million of these are more than 50% below the poverty line,1 and 1.5 million are destitute, unable to afford basic essentials.2 The widely respected Institute for Fiscal Studies predicts a 7% rise in child poverty between 2015 and 2022, and various sources predict child poverty rates of as high as 40%.3 For almost one in every two children to be poor in twenty-first century Britain is not just a disgrace, but a social calamity and an economic disaster, all rolled into one." https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/Poverty/EOM_GB_16Nov2018.pdf

  1120.  @stephenconway2468  My point is that the UK negotiators had no mandate and no majority in Parliament. This means the Tory effectively are a bunch of headless chicken which never could agree before sending out negotiators what they wanted. Amazingly the EU27 set clear limits for their negotiator, where regularly informed and could come to a shard position.

  1121.  Salterino Kripperino  This is a withdrawal agreement and when the Parliament does not vote for it then it will be an uncontrolled crash out on the 29th March 2019.

In regard to leaving they are the animal spellbound by the headlights of Brexit that will hit them in March like a wall of bricks.

No one really gets it that 10.000 lorries a day will no longer pass through Dover when 90% of the lorries need 20 minutes or more delays instead of a few minutes. I have heard some even claim that they "hope or wish" that the EU does not make border checks. As they do not get it that a crash out means that the UK is a third country just like Canada. Well less then Canada as they have a trade deal with the EU.

  1125.  Salterino Kripperino  I guess it is news to some people that foreign investment and the jobs they brought to the UK came largely because the UK is in the EU single market and customs union. For example the Japaneses said explicitly that they came because of the promises for the EU single market and customs union to the UK. We speak here about 144000 British jobs in over 1200 companies in the UK. Each of these companies will leave in part or as a whole as they produce for a 450 million people market. More than 50% immigration comes from outside the EU. So the flow of immigrants will keep coming. They will just get more from other continents. Less jobs, less tax income, less health care and other public services, not to forget Tory austerity. The Tories have already cut thousands of NHS beds and more than 10.000 police jobs.

  1126.  Salterino Kripperino  Oh the great intrigue in which everyone is involved who does not have once favoured opinion. Fascinating! How about representatives of the automotive industry which can be sued by their investors if they do not tell them about risk and opportunities? They agree that the car industry will have to downsize as the just in time delivery works only in the EU single market and customs union. Most cars assembled in the UK have 60% parts from the other EU countries and they are delivered just in time. Nissan alone needs 2 million parts a day. Most of these cars are then sold to the other EU countries. Then have to downsize and new production lines will most likely open in other countries as the UK.

  1133.  @stuartnicklin650  The US is a 20 trillion economy, the EU is a 16 trillion economy and the UK is a 2 trillion economy. In trade size matters and the double digit giants always have the longer stick. America First means America will take whatever it wants from the UK and let them signed on the doted line. By the way a US trade treaty cant make up for the losses of leaving the EU. The UK still exports 44% of their stuff into the EU.

  1168.  @TheJohndoes1  The countries you sell to makes the tariffs. The UK gets the same tariffs as any other third country they have no trade treaty with. These are WTO rules. So the 70% of fish the UK exports faces paperwork, tariffs, import duties, healthy checks and so on.
    1
  1169.  @TheJohndoes1  By the way the UK has to import more then 40% of its food. The UK do not eat the 70% fish exported to the EU, the people in the UK prefer cheaper fish. So in real life the UK faces tariffs for every export as a third country without a trade treaty.

  1177.  @speedyhillski  Yes lets the 1200 japanese comoanies leave and the 144000 jobs they brought. Lets get out thr foreign companies of Jaguar Lavdrover that is indian owned. Foreigners provide a lot of jobs.

  1178.  frank brown  Iant is obvious that destroying 50 trade treaties and frictionless trade with 27 more will worsen trade conditions for comoanies in the UK. Many companies are just in the UK as the UK is in the EU single market and customs union.

  1179. Peter Miller - Jaguar Landrover are Indian owned. They choose the place which is best for their production .

  1180. Yes it will only take a few decades to come to the level the EU is now. So may be the 50 years of JRM is true then we can see the UK could not make it happen.

  1181. Dirty Dubliner - Well Johnson is known to be a liar, famous for his lazyness and he does not know things in detail. Johnson has been fired from 2 jobs because of his lies.

  1183. It was the US who ordered the UK to bord the Iranian tanker in Gibraltar. So the Iranian showed the UK that they can do the very same.

  1186.  @Land-of-reason  Well the costs of Brexit Today are 500 million a week and rising. Leaving means losing and this means jobs, tax revenue and credibility. Not to mention that everyone loses.

  1187.  @Land-of-reason  So show me one study that promises the huge success of Brexit and the method they used.

  1189.  @Land-of-reason  This is why people show a study and then one can see what assumptions were used, what methods. For example the promise of the impact studies by sector did not exist as such and what existed was some copy and paste basic information. While when we have nothing wild claims are made like having our cake and eat it which are without substance, but it is not easy to fact check them as they have no facts.

  1190. No worries, Johnson was never working.

  1191. Alasdair Fraser - Do you know how it was taken? No. So you make claim without any evidence. Prove their method wrong after you know the method and not make wild claims.

  1192.  @jameswhiteley6843  Show me the Video in which he said WW3 and this must be before Johnson said it. We have so many fantasy claims floating around that are unchecked. So either you can show it or it was just a hearsay claim.

  1194.  @compendioussuccient6784  You make a claim so how do we hold them to account? Whom do you want to hold to account for what? So are we talking about a court case or what?

  1197. Leavers promised a dozrn different Brexits. So the oeople voted for all kind of different versions.

  1200. Tory MPs choose and Tory party members then point to one of the remaining two. This is a very undemocratic way to choose a PM. Johson demanded an immediate general election last time that happened.
