Herman 9,583 Posted September 8, 2020 2 hours ago, Yellow Fever said: The FT says: Two Whitehall officials with knowledge of the situation told the Financial Times that the Treasury solicitor and permanent secretary of the Government Legal Department was leaving his position due to a dispute with Downing Street over its plans to challenge parts of the Brexit withdrawal agreement. Those close to Sir Jonathan Jones said he was “very unhappy” about the decision to overwrite parts of the Northern Ireland protocol, part of the 2019 withdrawal agreement, with new powers in the UK internal market bill. Cummings will be pleased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nevermind, neoliberalism has had it 159 Posted September 8, 2020 atheist troll and fvckwit.You are applauding a one sided re writing of an international treaty? what if the other signatories do not agree? Ni politicians on both sides as well as the republic of irelands neighbours have agreed that the existing structures will not be changed by anyone. So Boris, the buster of the union, is re creating the troubles of 20 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jools 584 Posted September 8, 2020 22 hours ago, Herman said: Just a reminder, there is no mandate for a no deal brexit and nobody voted for one. Jools doesn't believe me, well believe this bloke. Well, Hermo, as Sir Nigel of Farage rightly points out, the 'oven-ready' deal wouldn't have delivered a proper Brexit: "Great to hear that the UK negotiating team insist on our independence, the ‘oven-ready’ deal would never have delivered that. We should ditch the Withdrawal Agreement" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nevermind, neoliberalism has had it 159 Posted September 8, 2020 Sorry the last time I saw him was close to 5 yerars ago when he piped up about a dig we were doing in his local village, but nothing since. Maybe he reads this forum or other blogs, but he was so disillusioned with politics. Not surprising at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember how he used to regale us about wild buffalo training when he was in sub-saharan Africa. Happy days and a good forum in those days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted September 8, 2020 16 hours ago, SwindonCanary said: Mr Johnson's move to publish the new law - called the UK Internal Market Bill - is because he believes the withdrawal agreement is "legally ambiguous" and would leave Northern Ireland isolated from the rest of the UK, the Daily Telegraph reports. Lord Frost, the UK's lead negotiator, will tell Mr Barnier it is time for the EU to recognise the "reality" that Britain is a sovereign state You know, an Internal Market sounds like a good idea. Everyone trading with each other under a common set of rules, weights, measures, money and taxation. I wonder why we have never tried that in the UK or Europe before - perhaps it’s best to let every baker, miller, landlord and bank operate as they see fit though, its more efficient when you get Government out of the way....

Surfer 1,547 Posted September 8, 2020 Go read the post again Swindon. Creating local Internal Markets is how UK formalized trading in the first place - via Royal Charters since the 13th Century. So Brexit is the equivalent of Norwich market operating under its own weights and measures rules refusing to cooperate with every other market in the UK because “ do different bor” ?
