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.

 

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

If some banks relocate to where bonuses can be paid uncapped then there won’t be a job. 

Why havent they done so, already

Why would they go now

Has something happened?

I’m sort of with you on this, methinks the decision to uncap bonuses is to differentiate us from the EU, rather than a priority. 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.

Then if we remove the cap loads of banks will relocate to here

Right?

Ill not hold my breath

Project Fear suggested that you'd all be on the streets with begging bowls well before now. You looked in fine fettle when I saw you recently.

Another fantastic idea.

Why did you back brexit then as that was the most damaging thing for the city of London?

2014, so they've had 8 years to fuck off.

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.

Wow

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.

That would be embarrassing

The UK will not strike a free trade deal with America for many years, Liz Truss has conceded.

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.

From August 2019:

Stops in 2019 so obviously those Brexit benefits have kicked in and we're top of the pile again....

 

 

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.

to be fair, certainly on here, it was only Maggie Tate who said such nonsense, and it was soon proved that he knew absolutely nothing, about anything, as he was pretty much wrong with everything he ever spouted
