I have also heard that Carney has suggested a disorderly Brexit may mean mortgage interest rates may go down again. That would help many people who struggle to pay their mortgages every month.

British manufacturers are pulling back sharply on investment plans due to mounting uncertainty over Brexit and growing fears of a global trade war, a report has warned.

Just one-third of companies said they planned to increase their investment in plant and machinery – a record low in the fifth annual survey carried out by the EEF manufacturers’ body and Santander Bank. Investment by small companies was particularly squeezed, with three-quarters saying they were having to mothball spending plans in the coming two years.

“These figures put into sharp focus the widening gap between the investment manufacturers know they need to make … and the hurdles they face in getting those decisions over the line,” said the EEF’s chief economist, Lee Hopley. The EEF said its members had “sharply applied the brakes” to investment plans.

"While it is good news that output remains stable, it is no surprise that all the economic forecasts indicate that this will not last. Manufacturing needs certainty over Brexit to boost orders and exports and to protect the jobs of nearly three million people working in the manufacturing sector across the UK "

Stephen Phipson
Make UK, CEO

"Given that a large part of the trading rationale for Brexit is the ability for the UK to increase trade with other countries, the continued downward trend in exports this quarter indicates how hard this could be in practice. "

Tom Lawton
Head of Manufacturing, BDO

The author of Day6 article in the news today supports Brexit. Wow! Who knew! varian there were many many of us who voted Leave. He is an ‘expert’ in his own right - just one that Leavers chose to believe.

Viz:

Peter Bruce Lilley, Baron Lilley, (born 23 August 1943) is a British Conservative Party politician who was a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1983 to 2017 representing the constituency of Hitchin and Harpenden from 1997 and, prior to boundary changes, St Albans.

He was a Cabinet minister in the governments of Margaret Thatcher and John Major, serving as Trade and Industry Secretary from July 1990 to April 1992, and as Social Security Secretary from April 1992 to May 1997, when he introduced Incapacity Benefit.

Dontaskme ???

My DH works in manufacturing. His British company have never been busier. They aren't stockpiling. We couldn't be happier and can't wait to leave.

This analysis shows that any kind of brexit would cost jobs, leave us poorer an in a much worse position than we are as EU members. In other words, there is no point in looking for good news about brexit. Any kind of brexit would be bad news.

Anyone tempted to take seriously a report by so-called "Global Britain" should be aware that it is a right-wing brexit promoting group, founded by some of the same people who behind the disreputable cheating leave campaign .

For more reliable predictions, have a look at the analysis of the options by the Government's own Dept for Exiting the EU.

Was thinking of Mrs Malaprop, but that was a Spoonerism...

This is by the by and nothing to do with Brexit, but Jalima's word despair reminded me that the dear man got tangled up with words a few nights ago.

We were watching an old episode of Endeavour and a night watchman, complete with torch, was doing his rounds in a dark factory. I mentioned progress and that CCTV does that job today.

OH remarked a friend of his used to be a night watchman.

However, it came out as "white notchman"

We couldn't stop laughing for ages. (AND I asked him to do the rounds and be my personal white notchman when we went up to bed as I wasn't sure I'd locked the garage door!)

I find the 'let's celebrate leaving the EU' attitude childish and disrespectful. Many will not be celebrating. Some leavers obviously feel much more confident than I do that our 'strong and stable' government will eventually deliver the sort of Brexit they wanted or falsely believed was possible. In 2016 it was all going to be so easy to get out of the EU. 'Simples' I think is the new word. Well, now we know just how easy it has been.

Just read the link you posted Day6 thank you!

Again another uptick for why we will be fine when we get to LEAVE. ✅

So funny Jalima your posts made me giggle when it happened again! ??

it's done it again!!

Henning When
he is very funny, though, and outrageous!

This is interesting, fellow Leavers. Remainers seem to think we will fall into an economic abyss if we leave the EU.

Not true. More reason to be cheerful.

Those campaigning to reverse the EU referendum result talk of the EU as if it is the very basis of British and European prosperity.

When viewed against the evidence, such an analysis is simply untenable.

A new report from Global Britain, £82bn reasons the EU held back the UK, shows how.

Almost every aspect of the EU’s economic performance – not least UK trade with it – has been dismal, underperforming regularly against every corner of the globe – be it advanced or developing nations – for a very long period of time.

Read article here. It's not long but very optimistic regarding our economic prosperity.

Thanks Jalima ?

sorry, that self-corrected!

Henning Wehn

If people are wondering who Henning When is, if he is some influential EU politician or commissioner, he's not. He is in fact a stand-up comedian.
Although I have seen him sitting down too.

They get so much more for their euros.

In the Telegraph today - Europeans double their investments in UK since 2016 referendum ??

Excellent post Day6 take a recommend ??

The bus didn't influence me one jot. That's a tired old slur. <yawn> Think of an original put-down, maybe?

I don't think it's stupid to want to remove ourselves from the EU, but obviously Remainers do get some sort of satisfaction in hurling abuse at anyone who thinks differently from them.

Oh and those Eurocrats will still be there on 30th of March, so I look forward very much to waving them goodbye.

I do think we need to practice upper arm exercises and the waving movement (with or without flag in hand) before the end of the month, fellow Leavers.

Day6 Henning Wehn also said that if you were stupid enough to believe the lies on the side of the red bus you are stupid enough to think the same now

I am. ?
