Brexit ideology lies behind the UK’s market rout
Kwarteng’s statement last week was just one manifestation of the elevation of absolutism over economics

A Kent brewery that the government proclaimed as an export champion after Brexit, is racing to find a buyer weeks after it revealed it had only one EU customer left.

Brilliant thread with a brexiteer panicking about an influx of Indians ha ha.

The Government is reportedly considering agreeing a visa free travel scheme for under-35s as part of the UK-India Trade Deal, due to be signed by Diwali on 24 Oct.
Short thread on why we shouldn't be using trade deals to dictate migration policy
Indian trade negotiators argue that Australia and NZ have youth mobility schemes under their deals. But India is MUCH bigger & younger than either.
The UN estimates there were 412 million 18-34 yr-olds in India in 2021, vs 6m in Australian and 1m in NZ. It's not comparable
The UK just took a decision to end free movement with the EU (population 446m).
Voters might not unreasonably question whether we ended free movement with Europe to create it with India. We shouldn't forget backlash when EU8 accession led to 300k net migrants between 2004-9
There are obviously important economic differences, which inevitably affect migration dynamics.
In 2020, the average income/expenditure per day was $3 dollars in India, but over $40 in the UK. The incentive to move will be understandably strong
The other issue is immigration compliance. The UK has youth mobility schemes with Aus/NZ because of a long history of compliance.
Indian migrants have relatively high rates of overstaying, and India has historically at times resisted forced returns
The Conservative Manifesto which every MP stood on in 2019 was explicit: "overall the numbers will come down."
That hasn't happened yet: last year we issued 1 million visas. Its unlikely to ever happen if the price of trade is visa free immigration

Can't believe this is from The Telegraph
Project Fear was right all along
Six years of policy confusion and ineptitude has brought a calamitous loss of standingDownbeat predictions by the Treasury and others on the economic consequences of leaving the EU, contemptuously dismissed at the time by Brexit campaigners as "Project Fear", have been on a long fuse, but they have turned out to be overwhelmingly correct, and if anything have underestimated both the calamitous loss of international standing and the scale of the damage that six years of policy confusion and ineptitude has imposed on the country.

If I posted an article from an "expert" that was negative about Scottish Independence for example you would say they are talking Scotland down or they need to believe more etc. We should listen to experts.
You do see that don't you?

We are all guilty of it in someway, we dismiss the things that tell us stuff we don't want to hear and embrace the stuff that backs up what we do want to hear.Last edited by James310; 15-10-2022 at 09:35 PM.

The UK's recent disastrous "mini" Budget can trace its origins back to Britain's decision to leave the European Union. The economic costs of Brexit were masked by the Covid-19 pandemic and the crisis in Ukraine. But six years after the UK voted to leave, the effect has become clear. In this film, senior FT writers and British businesspeople examine how Brexit hit the UK economy, the political conspiracy of silence, and why there has not yet been a convincing case for a 'Brexit dividend'.

Before the Brexit referendum, does anyone recall Farage saying it was about lowering taxes, deregulation, shrinking the state, reducing employment rights etc? Me neither

and Truss has said she would like her back in the cabinet after xmas
1. bold statement seeing as Truss quite probably will not be in a position to ask her back
2. maybe she meant a cabinet for nawty politicians, it would need to be a rather large Cabinet
