Latest report by the cross-party public accounts committee ...


https://committees.parliament.uk/co...lped-by-repeated-delays-to-new-import-regime/

Chair's summary..

“One of the great promises of Brexit was freeing British businesses to give them the headroom to maximise their productivity and contribution to the economy – even more desperately needed now on the long road to recovery from the pandemic.

Yet the only detectable impact so far is increased costs, paperwork and border delays.


Good job outside of trade everything is going swimmingly

Where are the Brexit supporters on here when you need a contrary view to argue these difficulties have been factored in and it has all been economically worth it?

Stupidity and Ignorance .... that's booming since Brexit under Johnson....Today at PMQ's ,Natilie Elphike, MP for Dover stood up and complained to the Prime Minister that the almost constant queue's of lorries in and around Dover was destroying her constituents quality of life and that this was " Nothing to do with Brexit " ! Such stupidity should not go unrecognised amongst our Parlimentarians, Dorries must be looking over her shoulder ! El Thick is destined for the top.

Quite incredible how the Vote Leave government have turned her patch into a constant car park whilst simultaneously crashing exports. If its not Brexit what else could it be? Sheep on the road?

Brexiteer of week all day long

I am interested to know [MENTION=17469]melias shoes[/MENTION], what about JRM's appointment as Brexit Opportunities Minister warranted the awarding of the thumbs up above. Don't be shy :wink:

:lolol:

Should be interesting having JRM in such a post. Berlin is aiming to be the tech capital of Europe and their argument against the UK is

1) the UK is a chaotic and politically unstable country.
2) It lags in international investment
3) It doesn’t have a readily available and mobile workforce to call upon.

One can only imagine the scene when the next Steve Jobs, Daniel Eck, Elon Musk sees the state of JRM trying to convince them the UK is a modern progressive nation where they should invest. We’ve already seen the response with Tesla.

Be interesting to hear [MENTION=12935]GT49er[/MENTION], [MENTION=1365]Westdene Seagull[/MENTION] and [MENTION=33253]JC Footy Genius[/MENTION] thoughts.

Unfortunately, NSC is currently awash with hysterical fannies seemingly intent on portraying the UK as an economic basket case/rogue state. Meanwhile, back in the real world ...

https://www.cityam.com/2021-best-ye...ondon-listings-more-jobs-and-new-futurecorns/

.. plus, of course, the UK had the fastest growing economy in the G7 last year and projected to perform in a similar way this year. Good luck to our EU friends in catching up [emoji106]

It doesn't surprise me; academics are often insulated from the economic realities most of us face.

You edited your unpleasant, libellous post after my helpful advice so avoided getting a ban?

How is that ignore list coming along?

You swerved all my points. Whilst I appreciate Brexiteers are always keen to look to the past for success stories I clearly wrote about the future.

And to cover your points, the new German government has acknowledged we lag in the tech sector hence it’s looking to address this. I find the idea of JRM sitting opposite a tech dude trying to explain why the UK is a stable country with a young, mobile, educated and productive workforce quite hilarious. It would be funny with any Tory, but especially JRM.

Competition is good though, I am thinking we will win this in normal time.

And the G7 comment was made by desperate Boris. If that alone isn’t enough to know it’s bullshit it was also fact checked.

He has to get his story straight, which he has singularly failed to do in the past....
