Brexit watch

Just read the blog about Article 50. So it was all a lot of hot air and expense for nothing if not sent. Well it will please 48% of the people if not sent and displease 52% of the people if not sent. Reminds me of a saying which goes something like this: "You can please some of the people all of the time etc....."
How to make yourself unpopular in one referendum.

Haven't seen him for weeks

dj: thanks for the link. Hunt, now that would be a nightmare if he got to sit in the Headmaster's chair.

See Lord Hall was making it easier for Financial Services to trade in the EU. We would have been the biggest winner now we will be the biggest loser.

Can't we just tell the EU it was our British sense of warped humour and we were just 'aving a larf, squire?

Sarah Wollaston is the health committee chair. She is looking forward to asking them about the £350 million a week they promised to the NHS.

Has anyone seen Hunt lately?

Whitewall, I would like to have had sight of it before the vote. Think they must be off consulting the Oracle.

Gideons toast. Apparently he was the one who pushed Cameron into this mess. I always said he is too clever for his own good. Or should that be arrogant? No news of emergency budget - idiot.

A lot of attention being given to when, if ever, we activate the Article 50. I am given to believe we remain a member if we don't. Anyone know how that works? Do we get all the benefits and a seat at the table or are we looking in with nose pressed to glass?

Excuse me whilst I go and poke them awake with a stick. They all seem to be having a duvet day. The best thing we can hope for is that they are furiously at work getting all their action plan finalised. Wish they'd tell us though.

Anyone seen Gideon?

That's what I call chaos WW

Chaos what chaos????? There is bugger all happening in Westminster apart from intense navel gazing over the leadership campaign whilst the country falls around their ears.

Scotland
- the cabinet has formally agree to put in place the necessary legislation for new referendum.

- Nicola Sturgeon to lobby EU members to support Scotland's bid to remain.

- Advisory panel to be formed

Considering the chaos in Westminster they might do well to look North.

I can verify the C&E officers blog.

Remember purchase tax too?

VAT is an EU tax.

More money to spend on trying to sort out the mess.

There is a probably not such an obscure law that says if a contract is based on lies then that contract is deemed invalid.

The leave campaign was based on lies.

Lawyers are looking into it.

Brexit will introduce more red tape, not less. From a retired HMRC inspector.

I am extremely worried about the City. Our banking industry is good for Britain. Does anyone know if they can survive outside the EU?

Oh oh oh varian

Good job we didn't lose the referendum because of project fear. It would have been dreadful if what we forecast came true grrrr!!!

So Sad

That's why all the bankers in London have to move, to keep the EU passport.
Meltdown.

Lord Hill resigned -disappointed at result. That's probably an understatement. Our financial services are to lose the EU passport. Oh joy.

And me Cornish Farm Labourers.

Nothing wrong with peasants. I come from peasant stock.
