Mr. Buik exposes his bias by referring to "Micky Mouse" financial centers outside of the UK. Silly biased individuals like himself need to be exposed and for the best part ignored. The situation has not yet found its base, only after Brexit is sorted will the UK know the situation in terms of the financial sector regardless of what some unknown "Micky Mouse" style so called financial analyst claims. Mr Buik is commenting on the findings of an EU report. Surely you're not suggesting the EU are talking bollox? Of course not, just that Buik is obviously surrounding information with his own biased opinion. As far as I'm concerned complete bias has no place in honest comment. So Buik deserves to be taken with a very large pinch of salt. The original link with the Express was a bad start when it comes to political honesty. We have yet to see where we will end up with Brexit. |

I’ve got news for those who say Brexit is a disaster: it isn’t. That’s why rejoining is just a pipe dream.

London has breezed past its Continental rivals to retain the title of Europe’s top financial hub and second in the world only to New York, research shared exclusively with City A.M. shows. You will notice the top EU financial centre is Paris, at number 11.  Oh dear, those EUphiles must be seething.  |

BNP Paribas and other continental banks opened up UK divisions and took on UK staff following our departure from the EU, this has been great for jobs.
I remember Kim trying to pretend all they'd done was buy brass plates and empty offices whilst claiming that EU banks were hoovering up our workers.
On both sides of the channel, banks have taken on more staff.
It hasn't hurt London, it hasn't hurt anyone except a few greedy bankers who have had to hire more staff.

It may or may not be a disaster, only time will tell. |

Oh dear, it seems that Outers are still in dreamland It seems that you have forgotten that the UK financial services was the only financial services worth it salt in the EU before Brexit. I'll wait for the financial sector to find its feet before making a decision on the reality, which won't come before Brexit is finally sorted. |

Really glad the UK left the EU. Nothing good came from membership. We handed over £9.5 billion a year to be worse off and not in charge of our own laws. City of culture saw Thousands of pounds from the EU continually invested in Liverpool for a number of years. That was our money. We gave billions to the EU - they kept some of it for themselves and gave some of it back.. We never gained out of it. |

What a jerk comment to make ^^^ I know it was OUR money, it was just part of the money that we benefitted from when it was returned to us in different ways. I was just pointing out that the total money the UK paid in was not all a deficit. To say "we never gained out of it" is to ignore the benefits of being a member of the Largest trading group in the world. IF the UK 'never gained anything by being a member of such, then that was down to the UK. |

From the Guardian as well! Shock horror. Brexit Britain hasn't unfortunately made the dour news rejoiners had wished for in order to reverse the decision. As the author states, has Brexit Britain become a basket case? No (much to the disappointment of remainers), and is life for those inside the club much better than being out? Again, the answer to this is a resounding no. |

Would anyone care to explain how it benefits the ordinary person, the factory or shop worker, the teacher or nurse, that London is the worlds second largest financial hub. ?
What really matters, or counts, is not the size of our banking industry, but the relative size of our central bank The Bank of England, also our GDP per capita, growth, our credit rating, level of government borrowing and National Debt.
The Bank of England is the second largest central bank in Europe, with the European Central Bank been the largest, by a long way.
Our AAA credit rating was lost by the Conservative government in 2013, many Western European countries have a higher credit rating than the UK, including recession hit Germany.
Germany also has lower Government Debt than the UK, as do most EU states.
Our standard of living has fallen, median income families in this country are now 10% worse off than their French counterparts.
So, you can have the second biggest banking sector in the world, and yet be in a much poorer financial and economic situation than most of Europe - which we are.

I’m pretty certain that the ex remainers would make a lot out of it if the UK slipped into 3rd largest financial hub .
Uk gains are irrelevant, UK,losses are catastrophic.

Keir Starmer admits Brexit NOT to blame for economic woes as he cuts down Remainer claims
Starmer has admitted Brexit is not to blame for the UK's economic woes, saying returning to the EU would not be a "silver bullet" for Britain.
Giving a speech in London, he claimed it would be a "mistake" to blame Britain's economic difficulties on Brexit.
But the Labour leader did say he would seek closer economic ties with Brussels.

Again, the answer to this is a resounding no. So George Osborne's opinions were proved wrong, big deal. I am not aware of any serious movement to rejoin the EU. As someone who voted Remain, I have definitely thought, posted and debated from the position of not wanting to see the UK economy or the UK job market fail. But I am yet to see this amazing new world that was so obvious to those who voted Leave. An interesting Graph: www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/08/ipsos-post-pandemic-economic-recovery/ VERY STRANGE, THE WEBSITE DOESN'T OPEN ON MY COMPUTER BUT if you copy the website and post it on the research at the top of the page, it does open. |

Starmer has ADMITTED nothing, he has passed an opinion on Brexit. End of. |
