Another Benefit of Brexit?

Pretty low!

Who are 'we', ronib?

Prefer not to say

We can change too! Remember this one

DAVID FROST, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE SCOTCH WHISKY ASSOCIATION

‘As an industry we live on our exports. Scotch whisky is the biggest single contributor to Britain’s trade balance in goods. Ninety percent of our production – £4bn a year – is exported. About a third of that goes to the EU. The single set of rules in the single market makes it easier for us to operate across all of Europe. ''

And Hannan, when he said 'we are not even thinking of leaving the Single Market and the Customs Union'!

Who are 'we', ronib?

Generally speaking, we think that the Civil Service has always been against Brexit and that the current arrangements suit simply because when the next government is in power, re entry into the EU is simpler.

He’s an amazing printmaker and someone I know met him as he’s working for a London auction house. I was surprised that he was able to have cushions, mugs, prints, postcards etc made and produced in Latvia with very cheap postage to Uk. Plus a tiny piece of paper dealing with import stuff. So of course has entry to EU market as well as here. Was under £135 in total.

Will post if I find it again!

Interestingly, I was reading today, that the Tories will never be able to shake off the image of themselves as the Brexit party, and as the situation gets worse in the U.K. the Tory party will go down with it.

Heseltine in the Lords today said it so perfectly and with such humour and irony.

Oh wish I’d heard🙂

Maybe Ronib is refering to work done by the civil servants for the Trans Pacific or Indo Pacific trade deal that UK will sign up sometime this year. 11 member countries so far.
Since UK signed up to join, 5 or 6 other countries have formally signed up including China.

Or the work done so far for the trade dispute with EU with regards to Northern Ireland which is a bit of a minefield.

There wasnt much work for the civil servants to do - most of it was already in existence since our time as members of the EU.

From approx 2011 I think.

Far from levelling up- Sunderland car making now at real risk of closure, due to high costs and break-down of supply chains. Tragic.

In its pomp in 2016, the year Britons voted to secede from the European Union, the Sunderland factory, which has employed more than 7,000 people, was producing more than 500,000 cars a year. That has more than halved and last year only 238,000 cars rolled off its assembly lines. At present it produces the Qashqai, Britain’s bestselling car, Juke, a smaller version of that vehicle, and the all-electric Nissan Leaf.

Normandygirl recently we bought items from an artist working in the Uk but delivered with all appropriate customs declarations from Latvia. The delivery costs were very economical too. I can’t but help think that movement of goods need not be such a big issue.

Wonder when the EU is going to let us off the naughty step?

I'm interested - why if the artist is working in the UK did you buy artworks from Latvia?

Quite a lot MaizieD

They only have a lot to do with the Brexit procedures if and when directed by the government to carry them out.

Nothing, but nothing is done by the civil service without law backing their action up.

Well done to the British civil service… job well done.

What does the civil service have to do with this?

Well done to the British civil service… job well done.

I certainly hope so..

It isn’t that procedures have to improve, it is that they have to be introduced.

The EU fully implemented all procedures when we finally left the EU. The U.K. did not.

As you say, because it would cost so much and all imports would come to a standstill- even more than now. You couldn't make it up, really!

😄 Brexit innit?
