There seems to be significant focus and Parliamentary time being spent on pushing through the de-regulation rules now we are out of the EU.

Now I understand that these are some of the benefits and are high priority, but I wonder whether they would be better to delay these a little and focus on the more pressing matters of Covid and the new rules and regulations.

Trying to keep the Covid death rate down and rolling out the vaccine program have to come first, closely followed by the businesses and industries struggling with the new rules and regulations (with still more rules and regulations due at the end of March, and again in July).

There's plenty of time to push these changes through, but do we need to be doing them right now when there are far higher priorities. Or is it simply parliamentary business as normal :shrug:

Delicious irony that staunch Brexiteer Roger Daltrey has added his signature to that of the British musicians who are not happy on the impact of post Brexit arrangements.
Pete Townshend once described The Who as '3 geniuses and a singer'.

But...but...but...he knew what he voted for!

A good example as most people wouldn't blame or hate on Daltrey as he is a rock legend. It highlights the false, disingenous nature of the Brexit ideology

A Tory minister has admitted the UK rejected a proposal by the EU to extend the music visa scheme in favour of more stringent border policies.

Culture minister Caroline Dinenage said No 10 declined the offer because it would have meant allowing "visa-free short-stays for all EU citizens".

Be careful Roger, do you still want to be the headline act at The Festive of Brexit?

Interesting truck drivers are exempt from the 72 hour covid tests entering the UK, but of course not going the other way.

That's the incentive that has to be granted to get truckers to come to Brexit Britain...

aren't you supposed to mention these companies wouldn't have been able to do that if we were in the EU?

Yep, these are all positive things indeed but none are related to Brexit. We want tangible benefits that go beyond cheaper tampons...

Fernite has been succesful in Sheffield for over a century. Their premises in Darnall are very modern so puzzled as to why they need a new building.

Have you emailed them, or phoned, in order to ask?

I just called them, they said now they are not ruled by Luxembourg, they can make a big building, it's all mainly due to the ever closer politcal union and protectionism or sovereignty - they can now thrive....or something like that

Yes, there's plenty of time - but the Tory backers want to make more money NOW!
