Yes

It doesn’t matter – he has a job and a target. If inflation exceed the target he will have to raise Interest rates irrespective of his view on the government

and it begins, so who is next? So not only will we have to pay shed loads to negotiate, we now have to pay companies not to leave. The magic money tree must be having a bumper harvest.

Hah.

nah

he was just promised a huge tax break

we are going for the celtic tiger low tax model, how did that work out for irelnd again?

who is next?

Not the NHS.

Theresa May has told the head of the NHS that it will get no extra money despite rapidly escalating problems that led to warnings this week that hospitals are close to breaking point.

The prime minister dashed any hopes of a cash boost in next month’s autumn statement when she met Simon Stevens, the chief executive of NHS England, senior NHS sources have told the Guardian. Instead she told him last month that the NHS should urgently focus on making efficiencies to fill the £22bn hole in its finances and not publicly seek more than the “£10bn extra” that ministers insist they have already pledged to provide during this parliament.

The Venga Bus isn’t coming

Yes, I know bunch of snakes they are … money talks.

All these things are connected aren’t they? So if interest rates rise the pound will recover.

Could you give an exec summary of the likely actions and reactions for those of us who are reasonably intelligent but aren’t economists?

Exactly the sort of prosperity brexit promised… This is going to be like the heating bill after a massive winter isn’t it

Indeed

A mega bear market in bonds just around the corner?

what about the money for Cornwall and Wales they were worried about losing? and the farmers and fisherman as well? and bankers? where is it all coming from?? They previously said we had such little money they needed to cut payments to the disabled with “fit to work” tests and so on as part of Austerity.

This all continues to make no sense whatsoever

And every other international in the country is going to be demanding the same. Blindin.

It makes absolute sense if all you are attuned to is keeping cash in the country’s coffers.
Via austerity scraping the shirt off the back of the poorest,
Or via golden palming big business for jobs in order to pacify.
It all comes down to the same thing at the end of the day

Money

And it always will be thus

Yes, they will benefit a lot if they want to be competitive.

Therefore, I suggest they all come for a negotiation who knows they will ALL win a subsidy from us if they build their factories/plants/HQ etc here.

Let’s negotiate money.

So short story is the UK will be a less competitive place after the EU exit but that’s OK as we will be able to give state aid. Can anyone please explain how this is anything but a bad deal???

Presumably Mother Theresa promised Nissan the money that the NHS thought they were going to get.

Quick someone photoshop that bus – let’s give it to Nissan instead

What have Nissan been offered exactly? The FT is rather vague on the topic this morning…

Ghosn has been put on the guest list for the Chevening bunga bunga parties?

Yeah can they keep it secret?
Other car manufacturers will want in, who owns jaguar landrover? Mini and Rolls Royce are owned by BMW etc, they are all gonna be after their taxpayer subsidies too

I’m guessing some sort of tax break, if May can’t keep us in the single market

Two options I can see:
May let them in on the secret
They’re getting given a bung (a tax break presumably, but it amounts to much the same thing as the government bribing them with public money).

Which do you think is more likely?

So given that EU law presently prevents illegal state subsidy, and that once we’re out thats exactly what we’re going to have to do to keep these companies from buggering off, that should provide the EU with even further motivation to cut us a really, really, really good deal.

Someone cynical might assume that its almost as if nobody had thought this through at all? Which can’t possibly be true, because for this not to occur to you, you’d have to be a complete ****ing numbskull!

Personally I have no idea.

But I doubt I will be able to get too outraged by this – governments have been doing this for years under the guise of ‘regional policy’.

Other car manufacturers will want in, who owns jaguar landrover?

Tata, same as Tetley Tea and Tata Steel,

Slightly amusing that for many years the British used India, and now India are going to demand money….

This is a market on our doorstep, ready for further exploitation by British firms. The membership fee seems rather small for all that access. Why are we so determined to turn our back on it?

So says Boris Johnson.

Bojo the narcissist exposed – kind of amusing, but in reality simply nauseous

Patel bloody smug on Marr this morning but sadly Marr also exposed Clegg too on his ideas. Marr was correct that soft Brexit is basically BS. The vote took place with knowledge that in essence this mean Hard Brexshit.

It was obvious that Johnson’s Leave campaigning was intended to succeed only in increasing his chances of becoming PM.

Now it looks ever more likely we will be cast out of the single market even lifelong europhobes like Hannan are looking increasingly panicked, did anyone see Redwood wearily repeating his mantra ‘they need them us more than we need them’ over and over on newsnight last week?

The utter lack of a plan for how to achieve Brexit and what it would mean for the economy shows that the senior leavers were either
A) in it only for ego, power and career: Johnson, Gove, Farage
B) ideologues stupid enough to believe that the EU would do anything to keep us in the single market :Hannan, Redwood*, Davies*, Fox*, Stuart
C) just really, really stupid: IDS, Leadsome,
(*cant decide if B or C)

who knows maybe the EU are just bluffing and after 2 years of inflation, governmental pralysis and stalled development, it’ll all be fine, and we’ll be allowed single market access with some caveats after all

I always think it ironic the Patel’s family probably wouldn’t be allowed into the UK under her views on controlling immigration. As hypocritical as Jambalaya.

It was a shame Marr didn’t ask her what employment protection rights she wants to scrap.

When was that johnson quote made?

Bojo the narcissist exposed

So was he concealed up til now? Really? Did anyone ever have any doubts that he was acting purely out of self interest?

Patel’s family and my Indian relations will have a far fairer chance of immigration into the UK post Brexit than before. May has made it clear NO employment rights will be changed under her Government. NONE. European nations are moving to the UK model as we have 5% unemployment and they have 10% with 25% amongst the young

Horatio all the money Wales / Cornwall get is our own money less a 45% haircut the EU keeps for itself.

Mike the UK is far more competitve today than it was 3 months ago due to the fall in the £.

Nissan I have seen no details on any offer, I doubt they pay very much if any Corporation Tax in the UK so nothing to offer them there. Development grant for new facilities possibly, that happens all the time and throughout Europe

May has made it clear NO employment rights will be changed under her Government. NONE.

Nothing is clear, it’s just a statement from a political party who can’t even stick to their own manifesto.

what Rich said.

Patel’s parents weren’t ‘the brightest and most skilled’

Patel’s family and my Indian relations will have a far fairer chance of immigration into the UK post Brexit than before.

LOL. So you’re thinking that, given the amount of rhetoric over immigration controls, they’re going to relax for non-eu migration? From a PM personally responsible for tightening them already? Ho Ho Ho.

May has made it clear NO employment rights will be changed under her Government. NONE.

Phew. So that’s sorted then. I had the idea she was refusing to give a running commentary on the negotiations. But apparently I was misinformed.
