[Politics] How long will Brexit continue to dominate British Politics ?

[WATFORD zero]

Reduced to trolling on this account now

Intellectual pygmy claims inflation and all our other ills were solely caused by leaving the EU ...

You seem to have 'mistakenly' edited my post before you quoted it again (old habits obviously die hard) so here's the bit you edited out

Maybe, instead of just repeating the 'It's not all because of Brexit' mantra, you could actually highlight some of the benefits of Brexit that you have have now been claiming for 6 years.

Or you could continue to indulge in the same radicalised pro Brexit whataboutism that has become your final and only solution since the facts about Brexit have became clear and obvious

Well ?

Can you give me the details of the India trade deal?

Genuine question. What are the terms of the deal? What are the predicted impacts? How will it affect trade between the two nations? Pro’s and con’s etc.

What is your take on it?

From the India side its the biggest free trade deal that India has ever signed it's expected to double uk trade with India by 2030 the main winners for the UK will be Scottish whiskey, automobiles, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, services, the UK is expected to give more short term visa's on a points basis to Indian business people, the down side the tariff and quota reduction for uk exports is expected to be gradual over somewhere between 3 to 10 years, currently only 3% of goods arrived from India to uk are not tariff free which is not expected to improve, India is the world's biggest importer of Scottish whiskey with only 3% of the Indian Market,, the EU has been attempting a trade deal with India for 7 years and currently stuck,

I’m not sure where you’ve read that but sound like Tory spin to me.

Slightly more robust assessment of the imminent deal;

‘Limited benefit for India in trade deal with UK’

Both countries have fast-paced talks to sign their free trade agreement by the end of October

“LONDON — Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s trade deal with India will not include legally enforceable commitments on labor rights or environmental standards, five people briefed on the text have told POLITICO.

British businesses and unions now fear the deal’s already-finalized labor and environment chapters will undercut U.K. workers’ rights and efforts to combat climate change”.

Rishi Sunak to sign UK-India trade deal without binding worker or environment pledges

Angry firms and trade unions fear being undercut and say they were shut out of Britain’s biggest trade talks.

“Key enforceable dispute resolution powers which the U.K. set out to negotiate are missing from those chapters, said the five people briefed on the text. It means neither London nor New Delhi can hold the other to their climate, environmental and workers' rights commitments”.

Businesses, unions and NGOs now fear the deal could undercut British firms because Indian firms operate to less stringent and expensive environmental and labor standards. Firms and unions say their access to the negotiations was curtailed earlier this year as talks progressed.

And this is typical of every trade deal we have made post brexit. From labour laws to animal welfare, lower standards are ignored in order to make a deal that says ‘look how clever we are by getting Brexit done’. The Gov care nothing for our own industry, workers, farmers or the global environmental crises.

Quite.

It’s a benign dictatorship. Barring unions from talks so they can’t raise important issues.

This is the furthest from a democracy the U.K. has ever been in modern times.
