LowCostPoint Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 He said he would protect us if war breaks out. He said he's going to give us a fantastic trade deal. He said he loves the UK. Is any of the other stuff that important? People are willing to sacrifice the UK because they are still sulking about Brexit. Their pony tail is in a tangle. There's rumours in the media that some Tories are willing to sacrifice winning the next election to get revenge on Brexiteers. Come on stop playing silly blighters...

altus Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Unfortunately for his haters, Trump has an habit of doing what he says. For example, the last few presidents said that they were moving their Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, but they didn't. The last one also said that the UK was last in the queue for a trade deal, but it isn't. The haters better hope he does as he says again and gets down to business on the UK/USA trade deal. They say that they are waiting for us! Add Trump's idea of a successful deal (more crush the opposition than something mutually beneficial) and his America First policy to the fact that trade deals last a long time and we'll be better off waiting until someone more reasonable is in charge at the White House.

ENG601PM Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 erm you do understand brexit and when it starts? thats what the threads about and what we do after. Oh yes, that old chestnut of we've not left yet! I have the luxury of time to be right, you have the Sisyphean labour of always being right, but your stone keeps a rollin' back down the hill anyway. While we're waiting for the emergency budgets the economy is doing pretty well despite Brexit. It looks like I understand it a tad more than you Mel. hes also said america first, and other pieces of nonsense that he reigns in on, Look what they tried to do to bomberdier, they look very much like friends It's obvious that you don't even begin to understand the Bombardier situation Mel.

Asked to measure in “Brexit buses” the economic impact of the vote, Carney told businessmen in the Swiss resort that the hit to growth was between two-thirds and three-quarters of the sum emblazoned on the Vote Leave battlebus, the Times reported. The Bank has been careful not to publicly quantify the effect of the referendum, but Carney’s words echoed those in a new report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), whose chief declared bluntly yesterday “the Brexit dividend does not exist”.

Magilla Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 But if she gets binned, then it's Reese-Mogg, Davis, Bojo Davis, maybe, but after his recent performance with regard to those impact assesments, I'm not sure he's overly electable. Doubt Mogg or Boris would want it, it's a poison pill, inevitably the need for compromise as reality sets in would destroy their credibility with their supporters.

RJRB Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Seems that Theresa will remain as PM by default. She assumed the position by steering a non offensive course whilst other contenders self destructed or stabbed each other in the back.Not unusual in the Tory party. Despite being under severe pressure from both the hard and soft Brexiters I doubt that anyone will make a move because the next incumbent will still be unable to attain any sort of unity in the party. Meanwhile the Brexit business is all consuming while the real issues of the NHS,Housing,the armed forces,etc suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Didn’t Mark Carney say we would go into recession straight away if we voted leave and there would be negative growth. I don’t think he got that one fully correct. I’m not sure what to think about the Institiute for Fiscals Studies, tend to wonder how correct they are with their forecasts. Although I don’t know much about them. Edited January 29, 2018 by hauxwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he got that one fully correct. He intervened in the markets immediately afterwards which help prevent it. Brexiters criticised him for doing so at the time. I’m not sure what to think about the Institiute for Fiscals Studies, tend to wonder how correct they are with their forecasts. Although I don’t know much about them. I'm sure you'd have much more confidence in them if they'd said something you agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENG601PM Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Carny convinced the MPC to half the base rate just after the referendum, only to put it back a year later because it wasn't necessary. Carney is no oracle but he is on the lookout for his next job and it won't be in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
