I guess its a benefit that we have gotten rid of two conservative PMs. Unfortunately we are now landed with an incompetent buffoon who purged the party of any of the sensible voices.Quote:

They're certainly not concrete, but it's all I can really think of as far as Brexit benefits go. :greengrin
Pretty sure the removal of the tariffs happened because the EU and US declared a ceasefire?Quote:

It looks like the tariff issues would have been resolved regardless. :agree:Quote:

The comparison would be actual UK deaths Vs what would have happened in the UK had our vaccine rollout been done with an EU co-procurement strategy.
Again though, we'd not technically have been obligated to join the procurement scheme and could perhaps have had the same rollout regardless - I think.
On comparison with Europe, it can be argued all ways. The current idiots in charge of the UK gave us Brexit, but Brexit also gave us the idiots in charge - the Health Secretary, for example, like the rest of the cabinet, was chosen specifically because he would not query Brexit. No Brexit, no Hancock, fewer deaths.Quote:

We were on our way out by that point, so the decision to join the procurement scheme or not would have been affected by the Brexit decision I would think.Quote:

Toynbees problem is she’s so clearly lacking objectivity when it comes to criticising Starmer. How can say it’s ‘no surprise’ the Tories are rocking a 14% lead going into the Jo Cox by-election? These centrist writers talk about the vaccine ‘dividend’ but people don’t vote on the vaccine. Already lowering expectations for a Labour defeat, which should in a normal world, see Starmers miserable leadership come to an end.Quote:

I can't link to it on the phone, but the Nissan investment announced today is very relevant to the debate. A vote of confidence, or an investment bought by the government? Does that even matter? I can't help but see this as a big boost for leavers.

If you voted for Brexit, this is what you voted for. You might think you didn't vote for this or at least tell yourself you didn't, but you did. There's worse to come, once this imaginary enemy has been vanquished, this government will need to find another. Hell mend you.

Not before time if you ask me as the haulage industry has been on a race to the bottom for years. I'd assume the construction industry will be next.
Which is why a lot of people voted for brexit. Not every person who voted for brexit did so against their own interest. I worked in construction from 2004 to 2012 and could see the effect the huge influx of workers was having on wages.Quote:

Not sure that Brexit is the key driver in material issues. Exceptional demand from housebuilders against a back drop of Covid shutdowns has been a bigger issue I think.
