Yippee! Starmer embraces BREXIT freedoms! ✔️

When The Telegraph starts an article with “Labour is considering........." I always think they've just plucked something from the air in order to start a negative spin. They must have some imaginative little chap in an office drumming up nonsense.

Nine times out of 10 you'll only read the article in the Telegraph, with a 'for juniors' version in the Mail, a few reposts on Chainsaw Maniac's X and then - nothing.

A quick google search proves my point. Telegraph 8 hours ago and nothing elsewhere.

Sadly, “The Tories Did Nothing “ sums up the last few years.
And yet ..
Jonathan Reynolds ( is he sacked yet ?) ZEV Mandate "fast track" consultation announced in November is also in the "in due course" bracket,
as is Starmer with increasing our defence budget % of GDP,

Yvette Cooper is closing loopholes in the Immigration system "in due course"
Phillipson will make changes to the Education Bill "in due course"

In 2001, EU judges used the law to block Tesco from selling Levi’s jeans imported at a lower price from a wholesaler in the US!

What a cartel eh?
*Not even inflammable nightdresses

This should have been done immediately after the Brexit success. 😁
Theresa May perhaps? 🤔

Yes agreed.

there are currently no proper border control for good incoming into the UK.

and that is the whole point - when EU standards had to apply for goods sold in this country

'As for the rest nothing to do with Brexit,, all to do with dodgy Chinese goods, along with people wanting cheap rubbish, including batteries from "oh its cheap" internet shopping, such as Temu and Shein. ,As for inflammable pyjamas, they have , unfortunately been pouring in since Adam was a lad. '

they would not have been on sale in UK- as not up to standard.

The old flammable nighties, etc, were before 73- I remember too.

When a report in a newspaper says ‘the prime minister has been urged’ that implies wishful thinking on behalf of the writer of the article, not a fact that the prime minister has said he will do, or possibly even a glint in his eye. It just means the author thinks he should do it.

Why didn't the Conservatives think of doing this? After all it was Cameron's referendum which took us out of the EEC.

Bojo replaced Teresa May having been sold to us as the best man for the job of negotiating the best terms.

I totally agree!
What took them so long to take advantage of this Brexit bonus.
I was sorely disappointed in Boris.
He squandered his chances.

As there has been no effective controls at the UK border for goods, poor quality and even dangerous goods, have been pouring in from all over. Batteries that explode and catch fire, flammable material for children's clothes, and so much more. Including dodgy meat, full of hormones and terrible husbandry and conditions.

If you want dangerous cheap continue to pour in and injur and poison us and our children- clap your hands.

Dodgy meat, horse, thank your French friends. Their poor hygiene rules let this one through.

Much of Europe, have , and always have had poorer hygiene and animal welfare, especially the Eastern countries. Pork especially. All going on during our membership.

This is non sense in the literal sense.

Britain still follows EU trademark rules which prevent retailers and public services from shopping around the world for the cheapest goods. The regulations give global brands total control over their supply chains meaning they can insist UK firms only buy from wholesalers in Europe.

Trade marks have nothing to do with how suppliers source their goods. A trademark is a sign that identifies a business's goods or services and distinguishes them from competitors. The golden arches of MacDonalds, the Black Horse of Lloyds Bank, the leaping jaguar of Jaguar cars.

Of course global brands have total control over their supply chains, they always have, and they have also always tried to stop retailers from buying from unapproved sources, but this is a restriction of trade proble far more generally, nothing specific to Brexit.

Back around 1960 my parents bought me a transistor radio in the far east, at a fraction of the price in the UK, I had to pay tarriff duties when I brought it back to Europe because of the price differential.

By the way when you make references to 'official impact assessments' and 'studies' please could we have links to these studies so that we can read them ourselves.You will find that on the whole this is something I try always to do.

Strange how some people almost wet themselves with excitement over so called freedoms to buy shoddy, cheap, often dangerous goods and foodstuffs with no regulations, just because it has the label of Brexit.

As someone who supports Trump and his crew as well as Farage, forgive me from thinking your judgement skewed and not to be trusted.

We are all entitled to our pov, but for me the red lines have been crossed by those who support Trump etc.
