Brexit trade really not going well is it?

Wonder what hes going to give to India at UK taxpayer expense?

 

 

OH dear, enhanced access for Indian 'foreigners aint going to go down well with his Brexit  'nasty foreigners'  base is it,

- especially with the Tory party pointing the finger at labour allowing foreigners in in their local election leaflets eh?

Typical populist liar ploy though, point the finger at others for what the liars are doing .. just like xenophobic Patel is ..

 

and like Penn saying if she lost that was it for her - then welching

[honeybee13]

I hadn't seen that about visas for Indians being unpopular, which paper are you reading TJ?

[tobyjugg2]

None in particular - just that Brexit was all about millions of foreigners coming in wasn't it ?

- So 500M EU vs 1,000M Indian

and on the subject

 

Fewer than 200 asylum seekers will be deported to Rwanda under existing rules

New figures cast doubt over Boris Johnson’s claim that tens of thousands will be removed under new deal

 

So, £140M quid up front .. plus actual costs when Patel actually sends any ..

 

So at about a million quid each, surely would have been cheaper to pay for them to stay half board at a costa del sol half board hotel for a decade or 2 .. just about long enough for the seas to rise enough to make the channel crossing a lot more awkward and a lot less desirable.

A gambler used a £50,000 bounce-back loan to fund poker games after claiming his company turned over £200,000, even though he only had £2.72 in his account.

 

• A sandwich shop owner received a £35,000 loan for his business before using it to fund the refurbishment of his garden, gambling losses and a new business that went bust within six months.

 

and suitcases full of cash being 'exported'

says it all really

 

Which party is NOT safe with taxpayer money ...

[honeybee13]

It's pretty shocking.  I know they wanted to get money out quickly but they didn't apply even basic checks.

Lord Geidt has cleared Sunak of breaking the ministerial code by having a green card whilst being a minister or chancellor.

 

I wonder what it takes to be in breach of the code?

[tobyjugg2]

Not even Murder/man slaughter?

 - as Patel was quite happy to propose sending the navy in to 'push back' small boats, and Johnson and his health minister were happy to send covid positive patients back into care homes

 

then theres starving kids (as in Tory policies)

Jacob Rees-Mogg postponed Brexit border controls again, admitting that they would cost British businesses £1bn a year 

– “saving businesses money by not getting Brexit done”, as Feast of Stephen put it 

 

.. now theres a 'Brexit' opportunity taken

(If there was no Boris Brexit, there wouldn't be the opportunity to help businesses by avoiding its requirements)

[honeybee13]

Some people think it's an interesting piece of self-awareness that he thinks costing businesses £1bn now is an act of self-harm while the rest of Brexit isn't.

I see frosty has effectively admitted they lied to get Brexit.

I dont doubt he doesn't mean to admit it, but in real terms he has.

 

“At that point we would have seen, at best, a second referendum, quite possibly Brexit taken off the agenda for good, and who knows what consequences in our domestic politics.”

Interesting that BP's profits have apparently more than doubled,

When you put that in the context of pretty much everyone reducing their use ...

 

Seems to quite clearly define profiteering from a crisis at the cost of UK people and businesses

 

That they claim they are going to invest xxx in the UK is probably simply what they were scheduled to spend (or less) anyway and is almost certainly just an attempt to evade being taxed on their profiteering ... especially when BP have announced a massive share buy back to benefit their shareholders off the back of the profiteering.

As they are happy to effectively give their shareholders a tax free 2.5B bonus via the share buyback out of their extra profits, and it is a good chunk of the increased profits,

£2.5B sounds like a minimum for a windfall tax.

 

Sunak should also enforce the fuel tax and VAT reductions are passed on to customers rather than being kept as profit by businesses as seems to be happening.

"The Tories have even lost Mayfair, calling into question their strategy of impounding voters’ yachts."

- Marina Hyde

 

We'll now see if the 'tories try to depose Johnson 'the incompetent corrupt liar' and he in turn calls a general election and drags them all down with him, or whether they wait and hope the UK public forget about what has happened and dont mind the NHS being privatised (and their medical data sold off to the private sector), and energy and water companies ripping them off for extreme profits going abroad ..

and perhaps they might be hoping enough non tory voters die of hunger or cold before the next general election.

On Jenrick doing the election results 'greywash' rounds because the half way sensible 'senior' tories are in hiding.

No doubt hopeful handcock will be out doing the whitewash rounds again .. or has even he scuttled into the sewer pipe to hide?
