Sorry copy and paste not working, that is strange.

Read it your self and you will find the quote
"THESE WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE BREXIT NEGOTIATIONS"

Edit.

This from Reuters.
https://www.reuters.com/article/britain-eu-agencies/uk-says-no-decision-taken-yet-on-location-of-eu-agencies-post-brexit-idUSL8N1HP0V0
"LONDON, April 17 (Reuters) - The future location of the two European Union agencies based in London will be a matter for Brexit negotiations, the British government’s Brexit department said on Monday, but EU officials said there was no doubt they would be moved."

David Davis claims medicine and banking bodies will not have to leave Canary Wharf

More Leave lies? Surely not.

Istanbul 2010? Political posturing.

Of course times have changed since then. With the EU back pedalling on allowing Turkey membership.

Doesn't seem an efficient use of money to fund such an event from Brussels. Why not simply do the same internally within the UK.

That's a good idea. It could be funded from the Brexit windfall.

Yes sadly they keep on coming. Why would you expect any different.
Actually it is better that it is a lie. Otherwise we would have to except that David Davis does not have a grip on facts.
Conundrum ??
Would you prefer your politicians to lie or to be just plain stupid?

Perhaps if you visited the UK more often. You'd appreciate the divergence of events that now take place evey year. Which are providing a real boost to the UK economy. With increasing numbers of tourist visitors. As well as more people having stay vacations. Not just about export trade. But where people spend their hard earned money.

A more predictable outcome of Brexit - inability to enter the Capital of Culture - has already happened. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-42095477

We were daft to think that wouldn't happen.

Culture. Not very high on the agenda of the average Brexiteer I'd imagine.

Thought you wanted us to move on from the lies each side made during the referendum? Or only when it suits you.

Looking at that line DD made that you have quoted, how on earth was it a lie?? The clue is when he says, "will not have to leave". I take that as meaning if they want to stay they're more than welcome and not that he is promising that they will definitely not leave.:doh:

Why drag up a news paper article from last April and it make a point of discussion. Now an outcome has been reached.

To be fair I suppose it might have been his informed view at the time.

With Davis I tend to think he doesn't have the best grip on facts because he's too lazy to go and find them. He's far more interested in what's happening in the Westminster bubble.
