Finally we can agree on something Mr Nob ... but, unfortunately, in this part of the world, freedom to trade is inextricably linked to a political project of ever closer union.

Fair enough, respect your opinions, although if I recall, you never actually said why that was a bad thing?

So Rees-Mogg, struggling to find any Brexit benefits, has now decided to get rid of regulations introduced by the EU. Well let's hope they don't get rid of ones which will increase border checks and create even more costs for British Exporters :dunce:

Fishing for Brexit opportunities will end with an unsatisfactory haul

Jacob Rees-Mogg, staunchest of Brexiters, has duly been appointed Brexit opportunities minister, apparently with a mandate to discover “1,000 regulations we want to get rid of”. He can surely find the regulations. But abolishing them will be far harder. This fishing expedition is unlikely to end with a satisfactory haul.

The fundamental reason why it is hard to prove the benefits of Brexit from regulatory divergence is that the regulatory divergence it allows also causes its costs. To take a crucial example, the more UK standards diverge from the EU’s, for example, the more costly border checks have to become. That why post-Brexit trade with the EU has been weak and why the Northern Ireland agreement has led to those unpopular border controls — a reality Boris Johnson has, of course, denied.

This complete and utter idiocy that anyone who understood any aspect of Brexit could see coming, just continues :facepalm:

Rees-Mogg is exceedingly thick.

By far the biggest Brexit Opportunity is joining The Single Market.

It is staring him in the face.

Yes, but on our terms. Which essentially means allowing them to join our market.

Haven't you been paying attention to JCFG. He has explained it all in full :shrug:

I think you are a little pessimistic, here's Dover MP Natalie Elphicke highlighting one Brexit "dividend": 100m investment in border facilities :dunce:

Very convoluted is El Thick, first there were no problems with Brexit causing time and paperwork issues but somehow Brexit had been very beneficial to Dover as they have had to employ loads of people to handle the delays and paperwork issues.

I like this, thinking outside the box, If Biden isn't in a rush to do a deal, just go behind his back and do deals with individual states, I can just see Liz Truss puffing her chest after doing a deal to sell Cheddar in North Dakota. Doesn't make an ounce of sense but it's briliantly Brexity :lolol:
