The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion

[brogdale]

I dont think Boris wanted no deal. He will increasingly realise just how fucked he is.
He cant accept the EU terms and survive.

Leaving without a deal will severly damage the tories and his reputation for financial good husbandry, more so than back in Lawson's day and the ERM debacle.

He has to move, and all possible moves lead to Boris leaving no 10 crying.

Lamont, actually.....and his advisor Cameron.

Sorry. My memory of tory cunts is wobbly.

How long does a ship take from Aus to the UK? I wager they stop off too.

fuck knows wasn't aware of the trade, had to google Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and the Middle East get 53% of the veg exports. Biggest export is carrots 34% then potatoes, onions, celery, broccoli and cauliflower.

Cameron does appear to be a kind of leitmotif signifying abject political failure with costly, adverse economic outcomes for the people.

this thread has taken an odd turn turnips and how to grow Brussel sprouts

Perhaps the title should be edited to read "The post-Brexit trade deal - what will it actually mean?"

Happy for mods to edit like that, but perhaps we'd be better off with a dedicated #RatsAndRainwater thread?

Sending Noel Edmunds to sort out a deal or no deal should sort it.

 

[The39thStep]

No call for it. So import from Aus for the weirdos. Blimey.

Gobsmacked to find out that Mexico is the biggest exporter of Brussel Sprouts to the USA

Why did you have to spoil a good post by calling him "Boris"?

depends how much you like turnips

 

[xenon]

Exactly, and no shortage of slots at airports. Food miles wise will be horrific but they are geared for that type as is

Except doesn't most of that non EU produce come to the UK as party to trade deals the EU has done with those non EU producers.

AFAIK the UK govt are in the process of replicating these deals with producer countries. 21 done so far I heard the other day. SO, that's something...

Who's driving the trucks to get this stuff on the shelves is another issue. Continental drivers don't go back with empty lorries far as I know and won't want to get stuck at customs going back into EU from here.

Sounds like good pragmatic stuff. Hope Johnson shifts too.

Cattle food or Baldrik's favourite.

Don't think I've ever eaten a turnip. Unless we're talking about the Scottish use of the word AKA sweed. They're alright.

 

[brogdale]

More talks.

 

[TopCat]

BBC BREAKINGUK Cabinet meeting scheduled shortly

We're told a conference call with Cabinet ministers will be held following Boris Johnson's call with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen.

For some, this could signal a turn for the worse in the negotiations over a post-Brexit trade deal, while others may see it as a sign talks will continue.

Johnson and von der Leyen are due to release a statement shortly following their phone conversation this morning

what is the difference between a turnip and a Swede

anyways is it just size

don't mind a bit of turnip in stew but maybe i'm mistaking it for a swede
