Cable Forum - UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal

No-Deal Brexit Would Cause More Damage to UK than COVID: BoE’s Bailey

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said on Monday a no-deal Brexit would cause longer-term damage to Britain’s economy than the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of the change might be felt for decades.

hopefully a deal get over the line

Am sure we'll get a deal - talk of no-deal being acceptable may have ralied a few populists but was never really on the agenda. Come 2021, we will be a less competitive and less influential nation but negotiations on our relationship with the EU will continue; they will be part of the post-EU member state new normal.

On a lighter note, this new parody account (I'm assuming that's what it is) is currently amusing me no end! :D

One of the ironies arising from a deal, if it happens, is that from day 1, OB has assured us that a deal will be reached at the last hour.

Not sure "ironies" is the right word, but you know what I mean.

There you have it. Both sides are forgetting that and letting politics muck it up for the real people.

It doesn't seem to be going very well.

Quote:

Downing Street has admitted that it does not know if EU negotiator Michel Barnier will turn up for face-to-face Brexit trade talks which are due to resume tomorrow.

The admission came after reports suggested Mr Barnier was pulling out of the talks unless there is a major shift in the UK’s negotiating stance.

And I thought we had the EU on their knees ? Turns out we're not worth bothering about.

Maybe we are worth bothering about after all.
