We are net contributors to the budget rather than net recipients but our GDP growth has done better overall than most over the last 30 years so our position of not being all in and having a few opt outs seems to work well for us. It’s a shame the government has been so fervent in keeping austerity going for too long causing a backlash against the wrong target. If there’s one thing to be learned from this whole shit show it’s that you can’t carry on treating large sections of the population like shit because there will be consequences.

Didn't answer my two points in fairness I agree with the last btw

May be so; however, all the risks mentioned in Yellowhammer report are controllable - though they may cost a considerable amount of money. MUCH LESS than the £8bn net that we pay to the EU per anum at the moment.
Business risk can also be controlled by companies following government Brexit advice. For example any company that imports/exports components or goods from the EU should avoid truck transport across the channel. To do this they should have obtained an EORI number and switched to container transit using a Shipping Agent and/or Customs Agent (many Shipping agents provide Customs Agency services) as goods pass customs here and in the EU in an average of around 30 seconds. It gets round so many of the problems of cross channel freight. Yes it requires more stock in transit, but delays will be minimised, the problems with driving licences eliminated and it will be better for the environment to boot.

£8bn per anum? That's one expensive arsehole.

Mind you, Johnson is an anus horribilis.

MPs grilling gove on the implications of no deal and operation yellowhammer

I thought there was legislation preventing no deal. Isn’t this a waste of time ?

And we can’t prevent no-deal if Parliament is dissolved for a GE as we will have no MPs over the election period and possibly for a few days after it
 
Impartial speaker doing his job well I see as you can barely hear the PM for the noise.
 
Hilarious stuff on Westminster by the clowns that inhabit the place. A PM lurching from one cricis to another but trying to get Brexit sorted and a majority remain house who want to leave on the EUs terms or remain. But when the remainers are offered the chance to dispose of him via a GE they decline because they simply don't think they would win. Truly pathetic from both sides. Even throw in a dubious blonde yankee business woman who gets 100k plus of our money for nowt but Boris probably got his leg over and they still don't have the bottle to call him out. That how poor our politicians are right now and I think they know they are poor.

Labour aren't agreeing to an election until no deal is off the table. Once that's happened, an election will happen. I don't see what's complicated about that.
