Because they wouldn't be replaced at all by other tax paying bankers would they? And like I said before, how many would actually leave? Very few I'd wager The two very rich, nice but dim bankers I know didn't leave when the cap was introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted September 17, 2022 Moderators Share Posted September 17, 2022 If our concern is purely to stop good folk leaving, we need to get a fucking move on A thoroughly depressing hour yesterday pm on LBC All sorts of folk talking of upping sticks One decent earner was retraining as HGV to facilitate a move to Poland We have staff shortages in many, many sectors, so lets start by addressing a non problem in banking sector Priorities, yay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some banks relocate to where bonuses can be paid uncapped then there won’t be a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if it does encourage the best to work here and banks to move jobs from EU to UK and we as a country collect more tax then it could be a good move.

The Brexit impact on the city was massively overstated as has been proven since. Brexit was about much more than 1 issue, a complete step change and reset was required, ideologically I don’t want to belong to a federal all encompassing unelected body less so one where we played third fiddle behind Germany and France. If it had remained just a trading group without the rest of the baggage I’d of favoured staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted September 20, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) I hope Truss doesn’t have the same pen issues that the king did when she signs the trade deal with the U.S. this week.

In a significant admission that one of the most-heralded prizes of Brexit is now unlikely to transpire, the new prime minister said that talks with the US would not even start in the “medium term”.

They said it would only take a few months once we left. But, we have to be clear that “a few” was never defined. So 180 months may be what they meant.

Site Supporter Spider Posted September 20, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Quick trade deal bingo card ”The EU doesn’t have a trade dealwith the US” ”We trade under WTO terms and it’s ok” Makes you wonder why anyone mentioned trade deals in the first place.
