Quick, get some more Union flags up , it seems that "Global Britain's " flag is rarely seen abroad now days, we need to give it maximum exposure here now that millions of Pounds worth of our exports are sitting here going nowhere.....

Indeed, hope to be doing some static testing there as and when the trains are ready,then as with The S stock the trains will be sent down as “swingers” On rail freight trains to just North of Amersham where we pick them up again.[emoji1303]

So the Government awarding a £1.5Billion contract to Siemens in 2018 to create 750 jobs on the condition that the carriages were built in Britain is going ahead and the carriages are going to be built in Britain. Imagine what it would have looked like had that contract gone to the EU after the referendum
It is indeed, excellent news.
But nothing whatsoever do with Brexit, so not sure why you've posted it here
As I've suggested before, maybe one of you could start a thread of 'Businesses managing to survive despite Brexit' for Government awarded contracts and such

Top Business Chief Accuses Brexit of Causing Major Harm to U.K.
One of the most influential business groups in the U.K. is convinced that Brexit is causing “structural” damage to many U.K. companies by reducing trade and increasing costs. Adam Marshall, the outgoing director-general of the British Chambers of Commerce, was blunt: “I push back pretty hard against anyone who says that all of the issues are simply around adjustment.” For some companies, the extra layers of red tape “may in fact influence whether that business keeps going or not,” he said.
Britain’s relationship with a critical trading partner has been rocky, marked by a 40% decline in exports to the bloc in January and tensions over vaccine supplies. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government largely blamed the coronavirus pandemic and stockpiling effects for the drop. But Marshall doesn’t accept that. He said Brexit was responsible for a “large chunk” of that decline.

Clearly not believing enough.
It seems increasingly obvious that the only logical Brexit is (and always has been) an EEA-style Brexit. The only real argument against this which could be made would be the restoration of free movement, but as we all know Brexit was never about immigration so that shouldn't be a problem.

Agree completely that staying in the single market was the only logical implementation of Brexit (or no deal
), but since when has logic had any place in the temple of Brexit.Besides, people didn't vote for that. Apparently they knew what they were voting for and it was the clusterf*** that we currently enjoy

Funnily enough May set the ground rules quite early on without much public or cabinet discussion that I recall. I remember her being particularly vitriolic in a speech she gave outside Downing Street that rather set the tone for the bruising encounters to come. Ah well, we are where we are, who needs exports anyway ?

What is Truss's greatest achievement ? I need to understand if any deal is significantly better than the deal we had through the EU, we have a huge hole to fill...
