Oh and answer the question when you've done maybe.

"UK will be able to sign trade deals during Brexit transition: May's spokesman"

“We have been clear throughout that we can agree and sign trade deals during the implementation period,” the spokesman told reporters, “and the European Commission’s own guidelines, we believe, reflect that.”

Let's see how the EU react to that.

Manifestos from EU far-right parties : anti EU, anti immigrant.
Exactly what you lot voted for in the referendum.
So please spare me your faux indignation on the number of far-right wingers in the Bundestag.

That's funny, here's me thinking there was a vote to leave the EU in the referendum..

None of our elected parties are far-right; none are anti-EU; none are anti-immigrant.
Show us official manifesto from any showing that they are.
And instead maybe you could cease your faux outrage at the result of a democratically decided vote.

There was discussion on this during yesterday's Daily Politics.
We can negotiate and sign whatever we want, but it can't come into effect during any transition period anyway, so the point is moot.

Taking the decisions from a large group of people who have differing opinions & so are likely to try to make sure that everyone is happy, to giving the decisions to a rather small group of people who offshore their money while telling you not to.



That is good for criminals I guess.



This one was worth staying in the EU all on it's own. Government should never ever be allowed to support industry, look at the mess it got us into last time.

I don't think gflux asked for examples everyone, Remainer or Leaver, would agree with, for example I happen to disagree with his suggestion that

Anyone who eats food

will be affected negatively. IMO Brexit will allow us to purchase outside the EU at lower prices for many things.
He asked for suggestions, these are mine, which I believe will have a positive effect

Yes, the UK remains an attractive place to live and work. To 'win' your argument you only need one more person to arrive than depart - obviously an argument not worth winning.

What you should ask yourself is why the figures are changing because they indicate the UK is becoming a less attractive place to live and work.

It's not hard to see why - we're falling behind the growth rates of our peers, exchange rates are working against migrants and it's a long way from clear what rules will apply and when. I reckon potential migrants don't feel as welcome given immigration has been the sole topic of conversation for a couple of years.

And yet STILL hundreds of thousands come.
That they do should tell you the fallacy of your argument.
What's reduced the numbers (and it's not by SO much is it?) is the uncertainty courtesy of the EU over whether or not they could remain in the UK.

We aren't talking about who invests into India we are talking about FDI into the UK, which Tracey and Jock erroneously believe puts India at #3.

As far as FDI out to India, the UK accounts for 8%, tied with Japan, the EU accounts for 14%. So who is India going to consider more important?
