Liz Truss is, "replacing", Frost
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The Bumblecunt has decided she's now a real threat; & he's going to bugger up her challenge. But she'll probably do exactly the same as Frost; & resign, when she thinks the moment is right to go for the Leadership; & she'll use the same self serving reasons as Frost.
She will definitely do the same as Frost and bumblecunt (resigned to off Theresa May). Dealing with Brexit is like dealing with a bucket of shit and vomit but they wanted it so they can't dispose of it or clean it up so are endlessly passing it around themselves while pretending it is great and definitely not a bucket of shit and vomit.
Boris wants her in the tent with him! They really don't know what to do next with Brexit and know the new border controls coming on 1st January are going to be a shitshow. Apparently the US is leaning very hard on UK to not feck with the GFA so expect further capitulations announced soon dressed up as a Boris victory but don't think the DUP will see it that way and I expect some real trouble from them re NIP. Whichever way they turn the Gov is fecked.
It would be poetic; if NI did for another PM; it's caused more than one to flounder; & if the Bumblecunt, can't find a way to gracefully climbdown over the NIP; then he gives Truss a golden opportunity to resign; & then the DUP will cry, Betrayal; & the 100 odd nutters in the CRG; will try to get a vote of confidence against him; or trigger a leadership race.

He's the lamest of lame ducks now; & it's only a matter of when he gets fed up with the hassle of the job; & pisses off the after-dinner speeches racket.

Even if you forgive them the delusion that Brexit was good idea; when the thick cunts were offered the opportunity to put the brakes on; once Covid reared it's head; did they decide that maybe one seismic shock to the country was enough ?; did the feck.

Lizz Truss sabre rattling about article 16 in her first press release. It's amazing that they don't realise it just makes them look stupid.

I wonder what they say behind closed doors. I'm sure it's much more conciliatory. Considering Boris spent 2019 press briefing no deal and them collapsed on basically every EU demand.

It's all the floundering Blonde Bumblecunt and his gang have left. They are desperate now to manage the message and at least have some 'good news'.

Once you have Ant and Dec, football crowds and darts audiences laughing at you and taking the piss then you know the game is almost over. By-election disasters, No10 partygate and being taken to court over dodgy PPE contracts are taking their toll. Grenfell and deregulation of the construction sector is a a biggie that is coming up fast and is going to play out badly for them in 2022. 100 of your own MPs voting against you is a disaster, especially when you end up relying on Starmer getting your bills through the House. All they have left is Brexit and attacking the EU or France. However the1st January will be a shitshow and the US has told them to behave and not to endanger the GFA so even this option is just bluster and everyone, including the EU, know this.

What else have they got? Unfortunately for them the weather is too bad for migrants crossing the channel otherwise that would be another 'go to' for them and their racists buddies. They have tried the 'greedy and lazy GPs' card but this didnt go down well and at the moment when they are actually working their guts out delivering your booster roll out, probably not adviseable- especially not when you are caught trying to sell off the NHS to US venture capitalists. They will inevitably have another go at 'left wing teachers' come the start of next term but not a good option either with impending lock down. Difficult to go for the woke and cancel culture, another favourite, when your own self acclaimed Brexit hardman was caught cancelling their very own Culture Secretary on WhatsApp? So what have they got left - the death penalty, always a banker for Priti, start a winnable war with a small South American country or EU red tape and Article 16?

Boris Johnson’s post-Brexit trade deal with Australia will damage the UK’s agriculture and food sectors by hundreds of millions of pounds, according to the government’s own impact assessment.

British farming, forestry and fishing will suffer a £94m hit and the processed food industry £225 million from the free trade agreement, a Department for International Trade (DIT) document has revealed.

I'll go out on a limb; (not really), & guess that all the Climate Change provisions have been removed from the Ozzie Trade deal ?

Which rather buggers any attempt to make hay out of the Green agenda & simultaneously pisses off UK Farmers, who already knew the deal was shite.

No, they’re just incompetent. Zero trade negotiation experience and hence get shagged every time.

If they had any sense, they get several experienced EU guys in to help and pay them whatever they want.

And yet, the English voters gave them an 80 seat majority; so they can piss all over any kind of Democratic scrutiny of these, God awful deals; & step, by, step destruction of the UK's; Non-Services economy

More shithousery by the DUP. Contriving a legal action, using a cats paw; to make the NIP implementation; one that requires cross-community; i.e. Both Nationalist, & Unionist agreement. Poots would of course be delighted to lose the case.

The Torygraph; unsurprisingly, still won't honestly admit the reality; or impact or Brexit; & feel the need to deflect, & deny.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/1 ... -protocol/

What they report:
The urgency of Ms. Truss’s task was underlined by new research into the sea border’s effects. Recently, the Fraser of Allander Institute (FOA) in Glasgow found that, when it is fully implemented, "non trade barriers" created by the protocol will reduce the size of Northern Ireland’s economy by 2% and slash real wages by 3.9%. In an article published in today’s Belfast News Letter, the University of Ulster’s senior economist Esmond Birnie, calculated that this will cost the province £900 million per year.

These figures expose the crude propaganda that Northern Ireland will enjoy "the best of both worlds" economically, under the protocol. The FOA study states baldly that "there appears to be no evidence" for such claims.
What the actual study says:

https://fraserofallander.org/the-new-no ... he-middle/

We find that the introduction of trade frictions between NI and GB (the region’s main trading partner) has a significantly negative impact on the NI economy, relatively to a no-Brexit counterfactual. Industries that rely on imports of intermediate goods from GB are expected to suffer the most when compared to industries with largely domestic supply chains or that trade primarily with the rest of the World. However, we also show that negative impacts can be mitigated if imports of intermediate inputs from GB are substituted for EU intermediate imports. Finally, we find that none of the scenarios that we explore deliver an economic improvement when compared to a pre-Brexit scenario.

...

Table 2: Long-term economic impact on NI compared to a no Brexit baseline

...

What is driving these results and can increased trade with the EU help?

To determine what proportion of these impacts is driven by barriers between NI and GB and NI and the EU, we run scenarios where barriers are only applied to trade from GB or to trade to and from the EU in isolation. Our calculations show that non-tariff barriers between NI and GB are responsible for 82% of the economic impact.
And what the don't mention the study also says ...
Finally, we explore what will happen if trade between NI and the EU increases by simulating a scenario where it is easier for NI firms to substitute GB imports of intermediate goods for EU imports. We find that our central estimate of a 2.4% reduction in NI GDP can be reduced to up to 1.3% where NI firms massively switch to EU supply chains. Whilst this is no evidence that the NP allows NI to enjoy the best of both worlds, as the region is still worse-off than pre-Brexit, it demonstrates how NI can take advantage of the new trading regulations to mitigate the negative impacts of Brexit.
So the study uses the B-Word; & makes it clear that they are discussing the consequence of Brexit; & the component part that is the NIP; & also makes it clear that NI is considerably better off, than the rest of the UK; & with changes to sourcing, & focusing on increasing it's non-UK markets; it can wipe out the remaining impact.

Guess what NI businesses didn't need anyone in the Torygraph, or Westminister to tell them to do; & have done; & significantly also increased their exports to the ROI, & so are not seen anything like the >4% hit to GDP, that the rest of the UK is seeing !

Just one EU country signs deal to rescue post-Brexit music tours, despite Boris Johnson’s vow to ‘fix’ crisis

Only Spain has signed agreement, leaving artists mired in ‘mountains of red tape’ – with pressure on new Brexit minister Liz Truss to change course

Only one of the 27 EU countries has agreed a deal to rescue post-Brexit music tours despite Boris Johnson’s vow to fix the crisis, an industry group is protesting.

The prime minister made the pledge under pressure nine months ago – but only Spain has signed an agreement since, leaving artists drowning in expensive “mountains of red tape”.

The Telegraph was known for a while as "The 'Kipper", as in a newsletter for UKIP.

Even they are now firing their first shots at the own goal that is Brexit,

Time is running out to prove Brexit is not a historic failure

It's been five years since the referendum. 2022 is the year reality needs to match the hype



If you don't have a paywall jumper, the important bit is in the last couple of sentences
For the time being, the Government still has the electorate on its side but only just perhaps. While a recent Ipsos Mori poll found just 24pc of the population favoured rejoining the EU, results of a separate survey for Opinium showed that 42pc of people who voted Leave in 2016 had a negative view of how Brexit had turned out so far.

Voters aren’t mugs. Ministers can’t keep dismissing the downsides as teething problems. Nor will the public continue to accept the jam tomorrow version of events. When Boris says the Government will go “further and faster” in 2022 to maximise the opportunities of Brexit, he should be held to it.

This is the year when reality should finally match all the hype, otherwise even the most staunch Brexiteers may be forced to question whether they will ever get what they wanted.

They are fucked. If it was all going well the borisgraph wouldn't even consider putting out such an article. Never going to match the hype. They promised protectionism and free markets, libertarian wankfest to southerners and European investment model and government help levelling up to the north and midlands.

What they wanted was never on the fucking table.

And they're wrong: voters ARE mugs. Especially if they read the Telegraph.

As a hint for anyone if when the telegraph page is loading you click the escape tab the paywall goes bye bye.

Quite hilarious they haven't fixed it yet. Not that the telegraph is anything but the Barclay boys buying political influence though.

There have been a few people asking Gove; or whoever is currently; in charge, of Brexit; how many customs officials the UK hired.

The Government's own evaluation; was that they needed an addition 50k customs agents; to process the additional forms. There are also requirements for customs post; vets; bonded warehouses etc, etc, etc & no one has gotten a straight answer; even Liz Truss didn't get an answer to her leaked letter !

If the UK won't enforce it's own borders; the EU traders will be perfectly happy to push against the open door; & the paperwork will be BS; & the smuggling will happen; & eventually the rest of the WTO will start lodging cases against the UK; because they're giving the EU an unfair trade advantage.

Hearing that there is a lot of perishables going off in those queues and many companies struggling with spoilt/lost orders and suggesting they will pull back from trying to get into/out of UK if not permanently then at least until they have sorted out the queues down to manageable levels. Could be the public begin to see impact on supply and cost of goods in this country, if they aren't already with inflation running very high in supermarket costs.

NI Protocol: Irish Sea border checks ordered to end at midnight


DUP minister Edwin Poots has ordered his officials to halt Irish Sea border checks from midnight.

He had been threatening to act, as part of the DUP's ongoing opposition to the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Mr Poots said he had taken legal advice which meant he could direct the checks to stop in the absence of executive approval for them.

....

Under the deal, checks on goods from Great Britain must take place at Northern Ireland's ports to make sure they comply with EU laws.

But Mr Poots believes the checks are unlawful and cannot continue without approval from the Stormont Executive.

Last week, his bid to force an executive rethink on the issue was blocked by Sinn Féin.

Am I being simplistic? These checks flow from an agreement freely entered into by HMG. It can’t be in some tinpot parish councillor’s powers to go against it.

"Taken legal advice"

trans. I have spoken to a retired barrister down the golf club who practised in a different area, but he seems to remember something about it from his days as a pupil.

These are the same legal geniuses, who tried overturning the NIP, by claiming that the Parliament couldn't overturn, or ammend the Act of Union :roll:

and this is the same piece of shit Politican, that can't even get a nomination from his own Party, for the Assembly Elections coming up in May.

It properly gets me angry. We as a country knew there would be a problem with the NI border if we left the EU. We chose to leave. We came to an agreement with the EU as to how the border was to be dealt with.
If people supported Brexit then fine but they own the problems arising from it. Not everything is somebody else’s fault.

The bumblecunt told them all that there was no problem; because he'd never implement the NIP, & the UK held all the cards.Frost was given the job of delaying & wrecking the NIP; & then the EU dropped the bomb: No NIP, & we'll pull the CTA in it's entirity.

The Bumblecunt, once more showed he'll betray you everytime; the ERG learnt it; & the DUP learnt it; but the DUP still can't accept it.
