Good to have you back Blue!

Hopefully it was a nice holiday rater than an NHS vacation.

Richard Tice has probably calculated all the commitments that labour have now made that weren't in the manifesto.

Spot on Toffappleton.

They are simply manipulating the market price for short term profit.

The Chancellor's cunning plan is to now raid the tax incentives making it even less attractive to long term investors and yet at the same time force pension providers to put more cash in.

It's telling that Rodders' is now blaming it all on the Tories.

He must have seen my Chagos figure on here nom.

🫢

A slip of the finger nom, although according to Mauritius it's £18b and with Rodders' record on negotiating so far I'd bet £90b will probably prove to be more accurate.

How telling that two Chagossian women have just halted him in the courts and not the will of the people.

For the knockdown price of only £90b the beeb are reporting that Rodders has secured us access to use our own Chagos Islands.

Thanks for the info Trek and the website details nom.

!00% spot on Tro.

Good Night!

The Tories weren't up for Brexit and we only had the vote because they thought the country would vote as they were told to.

The 'negotiated' deal was appalling from our perspective and was a factor in them getting the kicking that they did in the GE.

Labour have misunderstood and seem to think the result was an endorsement of stupidity, which the surge in Reform support clearly shows.

Having set up and then established a group of companies in 1988 I totally agree with your points on red tape and barriers. The absence of business experience in Westminster is clearly holding the country back along with career politicians.

Brilliant Tro - first laugh I've had today!

Healthy debate is good but it's when it gets nasty & personal that I bail.

That said, the first person on here who moans about a fish finger shortage will get both barrels and the EU fishing industry is definitely going on The List!!!

All the UK fishing trade bodies and representatives obviously know less about fishing than the Westminster experts then.

Even the BBC is running a story quoting the Scottish Fishermen's Federation calling it "disastrous".

If the deal is so great then why are the UK fishermen so upset about it?

🤔

another one off **** up as predicted then.

You can make stats & opinion polls say more or less what you want by wording the question in a particular way.

Would you vote leave again would get a totally different response to would you vote leave again if the government were to actually fully carry it out.

Even the net immigration figure is misleading as this puts the UK losing one multi millionaire on an equal par with an unknown criminal.

Looks as though it will join agriculture and be sacrificed in Rodders' attempt to take us back under EU control.

Of course we may be worrying over nothing and the shocking deals with Mauritius, India and the US were all one off not to be repeated.

I learnt from my old economics teacher back in the 70s that if you want to know the state of the economy use your eyes & your ears.

People don't moan & groan as much when times are good, business premises aren't to let/for sale, retailers aren't permanently having sales.

For any youngsters reading this, welcome to how Britain was in the 70s.

I thought secondary picketing was outlawed?

The whole situation is absurd and was caused by a combination of idiot bureaucrats and daft legislation. How anyone can compare dusting a desk indoors to lugging wheelie bins around in all weathers is beyond anyone with an IQ in double figures.

According to The Sun/BBC the "Welsh" Southport killer has attacked a prison officer with boiling water. Can someone please remind me how it's in the best interests of decent people that he didn't swing?

Spot on Blue.

It's all about taking the pressure off of two politicians.

After the drubbing last week I had hoped that Rodney might have got the message and altered policy rather than just change slogans.

Flat

I admire your optimism and let's hope that the US deal isn't as one sided as the Indian deal.
