Meenzer 15742 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I see today's Brexit headline is basically "Dough-faced tubby Tory is opportunistic flip-flopper". We've known that on TT for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31235 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 The paper quoted a source as saying: "He is arguing from a very Treasury point of view. He is arguing like an accountant seeing the risk of everything rather than the opportunity." Chancellor in looking at 'facts' and 'figures' shocker!

Gemmill 46162 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 David Davis to Parliament earlier: "we have to treat as absolutely central to what we do maintaining the stability of both the City but also the European financial markets." Just in case there was any lingering doubt as to who will decide what Brexit looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22188 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Brexit: leading banks set to pull out of UK early next year https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/oct/22/leading-banks-set-to-pull-out-of-brexit-uk I hope this is just scaremongering from the banks' trade association. What the fuck is there going to be left of the UK economy if financial services fuck off abroad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46162 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 It's blatant scaremongering. Remember when HSBC were threatening to pull out of the UK and Osborne spent the next six months crawling up China's arsehole. This is just a repeat of that. Anthony Browne is carrying out his masters' orders. The government will be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) The Guardian is scared to open comments on a lot of these articles now. (It is open on this one). The comments just end up with a lash at the Guardian editors repeating the same prattle...Putin, Feminism, Calais, some Polish family oop North, Bremoan, Banks moving to Mars, Luvvies for this that and the other, bands no-one has heard of etc...

Rayvin 5329 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Sounds like Corbyn gave May a hard time today over the EU. She's now backtracking on hard Brexit. She has no clue at all what she's doing, mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35653 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Don't know if this got a mention or not so apologies if already posted: Britons are more likely to say that the Government should prioritise getting favourable trade deals with EU countries when negotiating the UK’s exit from the EU than think it should prioritise reducing immigration (49% vs 39%)Source: http://www.comresglobal.com/polls/independent-sunday-mirror-political-poll-october-2016/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5329 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I hadn't seen it, so thanks. Encouraging to read; maybe the government will move to that position. The real difficulty IMO is that I don't see what they can possibly say to the Leave crowd if they have to accept any form of immigration. How do you 'spin' that?

ewerk 31235 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) I hadn't seen it, so thanks. Encouraging to read; maybe the government will move to that position. The worry is that the over-55's prioritise controlling immigration. And it's the old bigoted fucks who get out to vote.

Rayvin 5329 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hm. Still though, the younger generations should absolutely be making this a priority. It's hard to say they can blame the old if they didn't vote. I reserve the right to blame the old because I do vote though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5329 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 It's a fair point - maybe the Guardian didn't release it in time for his planned speech. I can't imagine Corbyn is great at picking things up on the fly like that. I think this will run on for weeks though, so he'll have plenty of other opportunities.

Dr Gloom 22188 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 i'll be surprised if CT can resist coming back from his sabbatical to gloat about GDP figures being better than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5329 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Meaningless really though, isn't it? I think we've all been sucked into this thought that the act of the referendum itself would destabilise the economy. And of course it did, but not as much as actual Brexit will. Very little has changed economically because the only real difference at the moment is that 'Brexit means Brexit' and the pound has tanked. When Brexit actually happens, if we leave the single market, there's going to be hell on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
