Any news on when the Blue passport will be available? 

From December 2019 apparently - even if we stay in the EU, we can have them, we've always been allowed to have them, we just decided we didn't want them, as they look shit

Theresa's after a WTO;

So if you want a second referendum to overturn the result of the first, be honest that this risks dividing the country again, when as a House we should be striving to bring it back together.

If you want to remain part of the Single Market and the Customs Union, be open that this would require free movement, rule-taking across the economy, and ongoing financial contributions – none of which are in my view compatible with the result of the referendum.

If you want to leave without a deal, be upfront that in the short term, this would cause significant economic damage to parts of our country who can least afford to bear the burden.

I do not believe that any of those courses of action command a majority in this House.

But notwithstanding that fact, for as long as we fail to agree a deal, the risk of an accidental no deal increases. So the Government will step up its work in preparation for that potential outcome and the Cabinet will hold further discussions on it this week.

 

 

The stare she gave JC etc when she said that was something to behold.

I genuinely believe she's quite contemptuous of him and his acolytes.

So inflation isn't a bad thing? Just watch your shopping bills go up

Nah. We won't be importing anything remember. Ports clogged to fuckery, drugs unavailable etc.

We'll be living on root vegetables and the last remaining British apples from a decent harvest.

It's a good job we won't be because if inflationary pressures start to materialise we will getting Mr Carney and band of brothers looking at interest rate rises too

Well if we pay more for our imports and they would clearly be passed on to the customers in higher prices or am i missing something? 

What you are missing is that the pound depreciated significantly after the referendum and it hasn’t shown up in rampant inflation, despite outcry on here that it would.

 

so, just missing out on historical data/facts!

Tariffs work both ways don't they.

So our trade partners would pay more or they could choose to buy those raw materials from fellow EU countries that don't charge tariffs, that's exactly what the EU have been encouraging their member countries to do
