Eurozone recovering with inward investment and in particular manufacturing growth with factory closures 19% up.

Pound on the slide against the euro looks now like a permanent devaluation.

Investment on hold in the UK as result of brexit the Chancellor admits.

Is that good?

 

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Haha can't believe it.

The only thing left for the brexiteers is 'taking back control' now that is gone too.

Be far better off staying in the EU with the power of the veto.

If you'd bothered to read what was being proposed you would understand that it is an arbitration provision, not having the ECJ direct laws in Britain.

I am all in favour of an arbitration provision being in place as the EU cannot be trusted in its negotiations and will find ways to try to screw us, look at the €100bn divorce bill Barnier pulled from his arse. Having an independent vehicle to settle disputes is good for the UK.

An 'arbtration position' means the UK would not be in full control of its law.

You obviously don't know what 'conflict', 'law' or 'arbitration' mean. They don't mean the ECJ adjudicating or applying laws on Britain post Brexit. You just want to believe that is the case because it suits your position.

The ECJ have never had the position to apply laws in Britain, they mere;y advise on questions asked by British courts on European laws.

This was one of many aspects of the EU that the Exit supporters misrepresented to the electorate which were false.

This was one of many aspects of the EU that the Exit supporters misrepresented to the electorate which were false.

However, for Sir David, it is not just May's unrealistic promises regarding the ECJ that have left him frustrated, but signs that both she and the government don't fully understand its purpose and remit. "The ECJ does not have 'direct jurisdiction' in or over the UK," the former ECJ judge tells BI.


"What it has is the jurisdiction to answer questions regarding the interpretation and application of EU law. In so far as the UK is bound by EU law, then the ECJ interpretation is binding on the UK. Correspondingly, UK courts that seek to know what the correct law is can put the question to the ECJ. The ECJ doesn't have any other jurisdiction in the UK other than to answer questions put to it by UK courts."

I didn't say the ECJ did, I was replying to Steeleye's uneducated post.

Both sides misrepresented facts during the vote. Remain were just as culpable as Leave in this respect.

Arbitration means the UK is not in control laws may be decided by arbitration, whoever that means not the UK or ECJ I would think.

But the UK is not in charge of its own law in that case.

that is what arbitration means.

Apologies factory starts are 19% up in the EU - is it because Germany Italy France are attracting investment in preference to us because the UK is now more of a risk?

No need to hold back as far as they are concerned but here is just too uncertain.

I wonder if ACAS will get involved if negotiations stall.
