Surely the speaker needs to hold him to account over such a disrespectful and untrue response?

Threatening to freeze his financial assets would be better. Or a trial for treason.

He knows that he's got the flag-waving we won the war brigade forever, he can't believe his luck in having the stupidest electorate in Europe and his act has been rewarded at every turn. Why would he stop?

Rees-Mogg is a lightweight anachronism, it's the right wing libertarians such as Stephen Baker who are the real drivers in all this.
They're the scary ones.

At the risk of incurring weeksy's wrath, can I just wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

The problem in the UK isn't the selfish, rich scum at the top creaming off their millions at the detriment of the country as a whole.... that action is simply to be expected.

The problem is the portion of people who are screwed over by these policies and actions, but are unable to see what is happening before their very eyes. And so continue to vote for the same scum at the top.

Who's going to take up a 1 year visa, and in the current climate?

^^ Yeah, saw that.

I suspect it'll be a little like trying to lure the haulage drivers over that,well... didn't.

That said, I think the visa is for a few years rather than a few months?

A sticking plaster at best in a sector ravaged by austerity and Brexit.

And if business can't get goods in, the shelves will be bare. prepare for higher prices and less choice. As for fresh anything, forget it. Back to tinned peaches being haute cuisine.

I thought Angela Rayner overstepped the mark with her choice of words last month and that her style would put off many potential voters.

However, Jacob Rees Mogg has managed to prove me wrong and her so very, very right.

Jacob Rees Mogg

To be honest, Boris,Truss etc. are very much not to my liking but JRM is an utterly vile human being. He embodies most of the qualities I find abhorrent in human behaviour.

I can't find a single redeeming feature. Same way as I feel about Trump.

Anyone like me who thought that what is to come would have happened by now. Those of us who think the worst is yet to happen. It's not that we think this is finished and it could have been worse, it's that we know it's nowhere near done.

Likewise. Because I was expecting a full-on cluster**** rather than a mere shitstorm. In an absolute sense, my expectations were indeed exceeded.

Hah, hey. Project Fear, that's me with egg on my face isn't it.

Take it cheesy

Interesting about the massive tariffs associated with the amazing trade deals (with a few multinational exceptions.) SMEs are in trouble

To be honest, he's not really thought about it much. He needs a new vet for a start. £180 is way out there for an EHC, typically £140 or less. Other options include using a consolidator who are exporting to the EU and will cover the paperwork, all you need is a GEFS attestation once a month signed of by the vet. There are a number of other cheese makers who are letting other producers piggyback onto their deliveries to the EU including Wyke Farms and Quickes, His trade would still have been impacted but he's a bit "oh woe is me" when he could have thought outside the box a bit.

The other option is smuggle it in via DHL, declaring clothes on the polystyrene boxes...

Perhaps you can send him your advice?

Is having to think outside the box to maintain some ability to trade one of the sunlit uplands?

Maybe I should. I successfully did it in my previous job, with cheese no less, as a TM for one of the biggest UK dairy produce wholesalers in the UK. We exported 2 or 3 times a week and the cost of the vet was covered by the government for the EHC. So before the sarcy comment, remember there's always someone on STW with experience. His difficulty might stem from their previous interactions with others in the industry. Whilst I'm no fan of Brexit and the fact it increased my workload, it's lazy to blame it on everything.

As an aside I offered to their sales director to piggy back onto our exports, he declined. Can't help people if they don't want to be helped.

So did brexit directly lead to increased complexity and workload?

So not an SME then?

Let's just remember we were promised no downside, only upsides and no change in any of the good stuff from EU membership.

Yep, as much as I don’t like it, if you weren’t noticing the lack of info from the gov and preparing some scenarios to hedge your business from the madness coming you weren’t really paying attention to the harsh business realities that you should have.

Keeping a business afloat always entails some out of the box thinking, to cope with the realities of change.

Companies oddly have managed to trade outside the E.U. Prior to brexit and the requirements to do that are fully known.

Your business just may not be viable anymore in the U.K. with the new realities of trade 🙁

Promises are like farts in the wind 🙂

For free? That’s awfully good of you. It’s pretty obvious why SMEs don’t want to be dependent on their larger competitors (or third party fulfilment companies) for trade… but I agree with you that is the reality they face, and for now they need to suck it up and pay the big boys in the short term. In the longer term they need an EU operation or retail/wholesale partner (and all the costs, risks and dependency that entails).

So rather than legislating against abusive use of monopoly or cartel positions the government has created them.
