Catherine McBride (OBE) is an economist who works at the UK Government Department for Business and Trade. Her qualifications? BSc (Econ) in Economics, Econometrics, Accounting, Pure and Applied Maths, Chemistry and Physics, University of Sydney. So before you scoff at her, what are your qualifications Leftie? To follow what the WEF orthodoxy and the pro-EU media tell him. |

More agree with her than you realise.
Patrick Minford, Ruth Lea, Gerard Lyons, Rodney Atkinson (economist brother of comedian Rowan) and many more.

Nothing wrong with closer ties with the EU but it depends on what those ties are .

I doubt they have the capacity to see beyond that. |

Labour rejected rejoining, rejected returning to the Single Market or the Customs Union. Read the manifestos. If you want to rejoin the EU you should have voted Lib Dem. Yeah But labour said in the 2017 manifesto they had to respect the decision of the electorate, and we all know what they did once back in the chamber. The punishment meted out to them for that in 2019 will not, I think, be something Starmer cares to remind his people of With Milliband even now destroying our pitiful energy resilience and pushing us ever closer to Net Zero stone ageism, expect a rejoin summit in two years at the latest |

I know the Election wasnt about Brexit and it wasnt high on peoples prioty list . But can't help wondering if it was at the back of people mind. With the red wall rebuilt and the Blue Rinse wall Smashed . Especially when you look at the key Brexit supporters who lost there constituency ex mps like Jacob reees mob And penny mordaunt. Plus other. It was well known that the Current PM sir keir Starmere is very pro EU and was part if his campaign that we will have Closer Ties to the EU . Yet labour won a Mandate with a whooping Landslide victory off 414 constituencies The election was won by labour as the Tories made so many mistakes, COV-ID, parties during lockdowns. Liz Truss and then Sunak and after all this time still things on boats and EU laws had not been resolved, the looked incompetent. However the big cause was the cost of living which they blamed the Tories for. I think it is going to get worse as the war in Europe and the Middle East heats up and rates will have to go higher as more countries like Malaysia go to the BRICs. Now if you are a Labour supporter you will think it is about the NHS though I would say largely the NHS is not in a mess everywhere it might even be just a postcode issue that is it bad in poor areas. |

Glad you survived, hope you weren't badly affected afterwards, some people lose mobility / speech as a result. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.

After all the dire predictions of what would happen if we left the EU - crashing pound, loss of trade, food shortages etc etc - it takes a lot of brass neck for remainers like Starmer to talk about "botched deals". If there are botched parts of the deal (e.g. Northern Ireland) the remainers who did everything they could to sabotage the negotiations (e.g. the Surrender Act) must take their share of the blame. However the truth is that we now do more trade (by value) with the EU than before Brexit and we have also struck trade deals with countries that we previously had to raise tariffs against because of the Customs Union. And if anybody's looking at the state of the pound it now stands at 1.19 euros to the pound, which is a higher exchange rate than it's been for years.
As for what Starmer wants to do with the Brexit agreement I said a long time ago that what the remainers want to do is turn it into BRINO - and they can do this very easily by just agreeing to "dynamic alignment" with EU rules. At a stroke we have to obey all EU edicts, both existing and future (just as before we left). But we have absolutely no say in them. SO basically we would become a colony of the EU which is what they always wanted.

I lost my mobilty Did they ever tell you why you got a stroke, my nutritional studies used to say Japan was the highest risk due to high sodium and salt intake. My old man eat loads of salt and had a heart attack and has mild dementia possibly a stroke in the brain. |
