Another new Brexit thread

Irish Foreign Minister speaks...making it sound like Fishing is the last thing that needs to fall into place (Barnier says it’s governance, LPF and fishing). That and the offending clauses in the IM bill.

Ireland's foreign min Coveney says there will be no breakthru at the #euco this wk, that EU fishermen will not be "sold out" in order to secure a future relationship deal, and that if there is a deal it will not be ratified unless the UK "remove" Internal Mkt Bill clauses.

Speaking at the General Affairs Council Mr Coveney said: “We value fishermen, we value their contribution across the EU and cerainly EU fishermen are not going to be sold out in an effort to get an agreement on a future relationship with the UK on trade.”

lol.

It’s the way he tells them.

Business blamed by minister for not being ready for customs in January. Sends "shot across the bows" to firms with "heads in the sand".

One trade organisation says they get better answers from the sand than the government.

Lords amendment on food standards in the Agriculture Bill voted down.

Vets, animal welfare, farmers not happy.

Brexiters on here don't care (or don't understand).

I admit I don’t understand what’s the story?

This is the manifesto commitment that no trade deal would involve standards lower on imported food than current British standards, and the government is refusing to put into legislation. Lords passed an amendment in the Agriculture Bill to put the manifesto commitment into law and the Commons have thrown out the amendment.

It's been misunderstood on here as about the UK keeping to EU standards but that's a separate issue. This is about importing lower quality food - and with poorer animal welfare - but cheap. Until of course our own farming industry has been undercut, and can't compete, then the price of imported food will increase. The armchair warriors don't seem bothered about this, not even the food security issue of relying on foreign food imports.

Thankfully we have you to explain everything to us.

Is "sand" a popular make of gas oven in the UK now?

Strangely I caught a bit on the news after I replied to you. This large Tory majority isn’t good for any of us is it?

but but but all the evidence...lies lies lies, the prosecution by PROVEN liars, and a hired gun in the shape of farage doing his piper of Hamlyn act using furriners instead of/along with rats, all wrapped up in a yewnian jack and labelled (wait for it)...democracy..
A double funeral then, the UK and Democracy (no flowers please, donations to the murdoch/mail/desmond/torygraph/putin foundation- "Save Our Billionaires". May as well chuck "satire" in as well, this whole fiasco has been beyond satire since the "bums rush" of the referendum. Add "shame", and "consevative party", (we're gonna need a bigger grave)
Unfortunately, the wake will be "tickets only", and dancing on the grave will behind a paywall, the valedictory supper menu WILL include hormone beef and chlorine-washed chicken and duck a l'orange-one, Pudding "Eton-what-a-fuckin-Mess", humble pie (kidding obviously)
Dress code, informal but, clowns will be vetted, smirks will be tolerated( encouraged?) Photo opportunities available including russian translators and tax "advisers", although as it's a "charitable event" receipts are available in the tent with the big fiddle as an identifier
Security by G4S (guests are advised to arrange their own, including food-testers)
Transport by Grayling Limos (Again guests are advised to arrange their own)
Their will be ample medical staff on hand at reasonable rates from Hunt Private Enterprises (although the usual caveats apply obviously)
A panel of judges will reward the winner of "who kept a straight face longest as various headlines from the press are read out by the PM, all entrants receive a peerage and if they already have one can be passed on to their nominee. They are also available in the tent marked Brexit Favours which has hidden entrance and exit portals. Actors/body doubles are available for those in "sensitive" positions/marginal seats.
Amen

Clever that

Is it your own work?

Kudos if so
