Yes, I info I read was a bit sketchy. DP World wholly owned by Dubai Royal family . They do have links with a Russian partnership.

Still don't quite understand the benefit to us of freeports. They are being sold as a Brexit benefit, Dubai owning a London Freeport.

It’s the biggest of the unionist parties and the level of tactical voting shows that most are comfortable with them. Also, given that Westminster delivers Tory govts consistently means that if you support the union then your comfy with consistent Tory governments. You might think a Labour govt would be nice but reality is, it rarely happens and we get the Tories time after time.

I saw on the news yesterday the EU and USA had agreed a huge deal on gas in a bid to reduce the EU reliance on Russian gas. (I do hope the USA realise their gas and our gas are different things 😆)

The UK isn't a part of this deal and while we know we only get between 6% and 8% of our gas from Russia I think its better to be in these things rather than excluded and not having a choice.

Uk is pretty well shielded from Russian gas. Hopefully it puts all regions into full pelt at renewables. Germany and other European countries should have seen this happening 10 years ago, even the nitwit trump was shouting about how crazy a dependency to Russia was.

We'll get most of our shortfall from another disgusting regime in Saudi Arabia. We should have invested in nuclear 20 years ago like France. The big winners are the US they are selling to the EU at 35% higher than Russia and have massive reserves

Lost in the statistical flurry last month was the news that the UK’s trade deficit in January was easily the biggest on record, at a huge £26.5 billion for goods, and £16.2 billion for goods and services taken together.


It is too late to do anything about the main cause of this malaise: an economically damaging Brexit done in such a way that little or no thought was given to the consequences. As far as trade is concerned, things are panning out in the manner once stupidly dismissed as “Project Fear”. And we will be poorer as a result.

Five hundred tonnes of beetroot is being left to rot due to a collapse in demand, caused by Brexit, a farmer says.

Will Woodhall grows beetroot and spring onions alongside cereals at his farm in Penkridge, Staffordshire.

He expects to lose up to £90,000 after border rules introduced in January has seen firms in the EU look elsewhere, particularly for perishable goods.

Mr Woodhall said he expected to turn the crop into compost instead.

"I was driving down the road and got a phone call," he said. "I was expecting it to be, 'Can we have five more loads please?' but it was 'That's it - no more homes for it.'

"I've been trying to get rid of it left, right and centre, trying food schemes and various things. But haulage is an issue and no-one wants to pay for it."

So, if everyone is in it for themselves, and with the Tories we have mountains of evidence at least that they are ripping us off, doesn't that make your supposed criticism of the EU somewhat redundant?

Remember when the Tories said they'd match the EU Funding when we left the EU...They lied.

https://www.gov.scot/news/eu-replacement-funding-gbp-151-million-less-in-first-year/

Business Minister Ivan McKee has said the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund fails to deliver promised funding for Scotland following the UK’s exit from the European Union.

New arrangements published today will see £32 million allocated to Scotland for 2022-2023 - £151 million short of the £183 million estimated to be an appropriate replacement for EU Structural Funds.

Since 2016, Ministers have tried to engage constructively with the UK Government to ensure the Shared Prosperity Fund aligned with the Scottish Government’s national aims and ambitions. However, Scottish Ministers have been given no role in deciding how funding is allocated and which projects deliver the maximum benefits. Mr McKee says this undermines the devolution settlement and does not recognise the authority of the Scottish Government in devolved areas.

Commenting on the launch of the Fund, Mr McKee said:

“The UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund fails to deliver replacement funding which was promised to Scotland, meaning communities across the country will miss out on around £150 million of investment in 2022-23. This demonstrates exactly why Levelling Up means losing out as Scotland will receive considerably less funding than before Brexit.

“EU funding has supported infrastructure projects and community initiatives across the country since the 1970s, with Scotland receiving and delivering over £6 billion of EU Structural Funds. Transformational projects, such as the University of the Highlands and Islands and the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney, have brought significant benefits to businesses and communities. It is hugely disappointing that future projects with as much potential may lose out.

“Since 2016 the Scottish Government has tried to engage constructively with the UK Government to ensure this Fund was delivered in a meaningful way, consistent with the devolution settlement and aligned with our national economic aims and ambitions. However, the UK Government has undermined devolution by failing to give the Scottish Government a decision-making role - which ultimately fails to meet the needs of Scotland’s communities.”

Background

The Shared Prosperity Fund will see Scotland allocated £32 million in 2022-2023, £55 million in 2023-24 and £125 million in 2024-25. Even the third year of funding delivers less than Scotland received before the UK’s EU Exit.

The Scottish Government has calculated a sum of £162 million per year would be needed to replace the European Regional Development Fund and European Social Fund, increasing to £183 million per year when LEADER funding and the EU Territorial Cooperation Programmes are added in.

Even worse for the Brexit bams is it will be brown skinned immigration not white Europeans. They will get more of the very immigrants they wanted to see less of.

Glorious irony. I don’t mind the U.K. and Scotland needs more working age people, it’s just that doesn’t fit the narrative of “we are full up”, “what about the homeless veterans” that was used to sell BREXIT.

Indeed. I argued with a racist at my old work before the vote. He was saying all the Indians and Pakistanis would be away after brexit. This is how geographically poor these clowns are.

This deal also shows I think that the tories still want cheap foreign labour, but pushed immigration as it would be popular sadly.

They have funded influential think tanks, the Tory Party, Brexit, institutions, universities have taken their money, a faith based anti-EU cult, the right wing press, the property market, the anti "woke brigade" brigade - that's all part of his geopolitical scheme. The geopolitics might not go any further but we are living and will live with its consequences for years. A lot of it will hinge on how things play out in the States, with Trumps supporters sounding exactly like those who appeased Hitler.

This is only the thin end of the wedge of Brexit, we will have to go through far more pain before anything gets better.

This is from Dugin's plan, 1997. We still live with that influence and the consequences.

Russia will have next to no influence in the following decades. But sadly I think things will just be as bad if not worse. Russia is just one of many that are pushing right wing populism. The greedy bs like the tories at the top don't need much help in being greedy. Might be pessimistic but I think things like Musk pushing free speach will do huge harm.

Hmm I'm no so sure Brexit happens without the interference from Russia: the funding, the data analytics and Cambridge analytica, Aaron Banks and Vote Leave.

They've achieved their main goal, but agree with you that the Government are doing the Russians dirty work for them now.

There have been suggestions of Russian interference in the Scottish independence vote. I don’t know if there are grounds for that but I was suspicious of Corbyn’s win in the Labour leadership elections and that vote was really easy to corrupt with their pay £3 and get a vote even if you’re not a member idea.

Corbyn was pro Brexit as well so help that arm of their strategy to destabilise the west.

It actually *is* going well for NI business.


The latest economic outlook from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) said the Northern Ireland economy outperformed the UK average, and is now recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
It said Northern Ireland's trading conditions with the European Union (EU) are an economic advantage.
It said: "Northern Irish output, as measured by Gross Value Added (GVA) has slightly outperformed the UK average.
"This is partly an outcome of the Northern Irish Protocol and its special status in the Brexit arrangements, including better trade and investment conditions as part of the EU's single market and customs union."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-61385412

But the DUP et al haven't the wit to see and exploit their lucky break. :rolleyes:

I don't believe there is the faintest hope of the EU replicating these arrangements for an iScotland and I hope to god nobody campaigns on that basis in iref2.

Northern Ireland is outperforming the uk financially obviously. Its a shambles in the uk, because we stopped free trade with Europe. If the shambles is that independent Scotland outperforms the uk, that will be grand

Plus it could take years for an independent Scotland to rejoin the EU, so transitional arrangements would be complex. But very much like the Brexiteers I am sure it will be worth it for some.

The DUP are against the protocol for purely political reasons. Unionism has lost its majority. The "others" in the middle will now decide NI's constitutional future. Therefore Unionism needs NI to be tightly economically coupled to the UK and anything, no matter how economically successful it might be, that draws it into an all-Ireland/EU orbit is to be resisted with the usual red faced shouting. NEVER!

You will all remember Rees-Mogg asking the public for their suggestions of Brexit Benefits.
You'll be pleased to know the Express (I know, sorry) has announced the top 9!

Read them and weep.

Assuming I can get my hands on some and can afford them.

some manufacturers deliberately increased the amount of electricity their appliances use because shoppers equate high-wattage with high performance.

Will the new ration books be available as an app?

The last few apps commissioned by Westminster went down well.

No one is actually running the country as far as I can see. While he twists and wrestles with saving himself his cabinet are twattering on about ounces and hoovers or sending people to Rwanda.

I had been wondering if other countries were having the same travel chaos as we were.

Any of our foreign correspondents able to give us a report?

Any of our foreign correspondents able to give us a report?Many EU countries are experiencing travel problems due to staff who had been laid off during corona not returning. However this has mainly resulted in long delays but not so many cancellations like in the UK.

I got to 'enjoy' one of the many benefits of Brexit recently by standing in massive queues at passport control (both ways) in Napoli, whilst EU nationals sailed through. Still, at least I'm able to come home to enjoy things like more powerful hoovers....

At least the ‘idea’ of more powerful hoovers as the manufacturers are likely to continue to just make them to EU standards.

There was an interesting point made on James Obrien last week from someone who worked in the design department of Dyson. He mentioned because the limit was 1400w they all strived to make the hoovers more efficient than competitors, now those same competitors will just chuck a cheap bigger motor in to compete and efficiency will take a back seat. The outcome will end up with turbo diesel vacs. :greengrin
