Like when Sunak dropped the VAT on ebooks and they, miraculously, remained at exactly the same price.

To be absolutely clear, the UK plan is to make no changes to its current tariffs with respect to LEDCs.

Just over a week to go, but let's carry on getting stiff about Cummings.

Fambo Number Mive

A week until what sorry? Talks about a deal?

Paul Calf

Until we leave the EU with no withdrawal agreement in place.

Quote from: Munira Wilson MP @munirawilson
Home Office has issued new changes making it harder for EU nationals to become British citizens. These changes seem to have been sneaked through the backdoor, with little engagement to ensure EU citizens are aware of them. I've written a letter to clarify these changes

Nissan say Sunderland plant is "unsustainable" if there is a no deal brexit: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52900528


Fambo Number Mive

I'd be very surprised if we leave with a deal, given the make up of the current government, the purge of the Remain Tory MPs and how people are not as focused on Brexit as they were pre covid.

We are being fattened up for a one-way trade deal with Trump

QuoteThe latest move is the Agriculture Bill, which has passed all its stages in the House of Commons and is due for its second reading in the House of Lords on June 10, and which effectively removes both food standard safeguards and protections for British farmers.

Its significance lies, not in what it says, but in what it does not say. The most important farming legislation in generations, it was the opportunity to replace EU food safety standards and protections for rural industries with a home-grown version.

Neil Parish, Conservative MP for Tiverton and Honiton, tabled an amendment to protect UK farmers from low-standard food imports. It would have prevented future trade deals from allowing food into the UK which was not produced to the standards required of our own producers.

The government ensured its defeat by 328 to 277 votes. Parish could muster only 22 Conservative colleagues to vote for it. And only one brave Conservative MP – Helen Grant, MP for Maidstone and the Weald – voted against the unamended Bill. Conservatives with rural constituencies, who have previously expressed serious concerns about the Bill, fell into line.

A former Ulster Unionist MEP, Jim Nicholson, says it is potentially "the last nail in the coffin for agriculture in Northern Ireland" because "it opens the floodgates to cheap food imports into the UK from around the world. This food will not have been produced to the same standards achieved consistently by farmers in Northern Ireland."

This means, among other things, the famous chlorinated chicken. An RSPCA report explains: "The problem the EU has with chlorinated chicken is that antimicrobial treatments can be used to compensate for poor hygiene along the supply chain, particularly on farms for example. Ever since 1997, member states of the EU have refused to accept imports of chlorine-treated poultry and this has been a point of contention with the US. The EU maintains that chemical washes are a form of quick-fix covering up for lower treatment standards, including lower animal welfare standards."

US chickens are raised in such cramped conditions that the only way to stop them arriving on our dinner tables diseased is to dunk them in chlorine.

The government has pressed ahead despite opposition from all the food producers, including the British Poultry Council and even the National Farmers' Union, normally a loyal Tory ally. "The most significant deficiency with the Bill is the absence of any commitment or means of upholding British farming production standards in the context of international trade negotiations" an NFU statement says.

"The NFU believes that it would be futile to develop a comprehensive and ambitious domestic support policy, simply for UK farmers' efforts to be undermined through the importation of products not produced to the same level of environmental or animal health/welfare standards expected of them domestically."

TAKING BACK CONTROL

Gove says he has told the EU formally that there will be no extension.

Well done Paulie, you won. I hope Cummings smile makes your sacrifice worthwhile.

Yeah, well. Sorry, but i'm fucking sick with anger and despair.

QuoteBoris Johnson's father is in the process of applying for a French passport to maintain his ties with Europe after Brexit.

Stanley Johnson, a former MEP who voted Remain in the referendum, has requested to become a French citizen as his mother Irene was born in Versailles.

The move was revealed by the prime minister's sister Rachel, an ardent Europhile, in her new book, Rake's Progress.

Ms Johnson said that her father is "en route to becoming a French citizen, as his mother had been born in Versailles and his grandmother had been in Paris".

She added: "This is good news — I might be able to become French too."

A source close to the family told The Sunday Times that Mr Johnson Sr has applied so that his grandchildren can live and work in the EU after Brexit.

there isn't going to be no deal, by keeping it on the table and refusing an extension we've forced the EU to start negotiating in good faith

I know to folks like you this is all a hilarious game - trolling wrapped up in a Union flag.

But I know lads who work at the plant in Sunderland and they're worried about their futures - and pricks going on about 'OF COURSE THERE'S GOING TO BE A DEAL', whilst having no idea what any deal would contain (if one happens), is fucking criminal.  Nissan have made it pretty clear what will happen under 'no deal' - and given that the plant relies on 'just in time' supply chains, anything other than a comprehensive free trade deal (I.e. the exact conditions which presently exist) will see the end of the plant (as it literally won't be able to function).

It's people's livelihoods that are being put on the sacrificial altar here - and I'm yet to see a single benefit of leaving which will replace those job losses.

Oh, poorly, you're in for big surprise.

The disaster capitalists in charge of your party care no more for you than they do for us lefties and no amount of forelock tugging will change that.

The tories plan to crash the UK out of the EU so they can scrap all those pesky workplace and environmental protections that limit our ability to compete with countries where those are less of a concern. I predict that there'll be a second wave of Covid-19 infections in September/October necessitating a second lockdown and a couple of months later, they'll be able to blame all the negative economic effects of a hard brexit on that. And you will believe them.

Of course, they'll be fine and it amazes me to see the still unshakeable faith of people like yourself as the hard right elite openly do as they please and set about creating their two tier system in which they will have their ability to travel around the EU sorted while they encourage you to fetishise your worthless blue identity booklet.

That'll be fine then. As the far right and their little Diddymen keep telling us, that's the only thing the working classes (who are all white, of course) care about and failure to recognise this is the only reason Labour lost in 2017 and 2019. Best order your wizard's robes quick smart before Krystallnacht 2.

My brother-in-law works in the supply chain for Nissan. Haven't found out if he was involved in the latest emissions scandal at the plant, though. A criminal enterprise.
