Wise words 'PPF' ... the more of that marmite muck, we get rid of the better [emoji6]

On the subject of Brexit, what is NSC's most ardent Unionist backing today ? The Northern Ireland protocol that he campaigned for, voted for and now doesn't want, or triggering article 16 and crashing Johnson's deal that he campaigned for and voted for ? Tough decision :dunce:

Great news, trading pacts with countries in same region who have large import export trade is a sensible and logical idea
Finally we can agree on something Mr Nob ... but, unfortunately, in this part of the world, freedom to trade is inextricably linked to a political project of ever closer union.

Fair enough, respect your opinions, although if I recall, you never actually said why that was a bad thing?

So Rees-Mogg, struggling to find any Brexit benefits, has now decided to get rid of regulations introduced by the EU. Well let's hope they don't get rid of ones which will increase border checks and create even more costs for British Exporters :dunce:

Fishing for Brexit opportunities will end with an unsatisfactory haul

Jacob Rees-Mogg, staunchest of Brexiters, has duly been appointed Brexit opportunities minister, apparently with a mandate to discover “1,000 regulations we want to get rid of”. He can surely find the regulations. But abolishing them will be far harder. This fishing expedition is unlikely to end with a satisfactory haul.

The fundamental reason why it is hard to prove the benefits of Brexit from regulatory divergence is that the regulatory divergence it allows also causes its costs. To take a crucial example, the more UK standards diverge from the EU’s, for example, the more costly border checks have to become. That why post-Brexit trade with the EU has been weak and why the Northern Ireland agreement has led to those unpopular border controls — a reality Boris Johnson has, of course, denied.

This complete and utter idiocy that anyone who understood any aspect of Brexit could see coming, just continues :facepalm:

Rees-Mogg is exceedingly thick.

By far the biggest Brexit Opportunity is joining The Single Market.

It is staring him in the face.

I think you are a little pessimistic, here's Dover MP Natalie Elphicke highlighting one Brexit "dividend": 100m investment in border facilities :dunce:
