Fantastic advice. Pity we didn't leave it to them 18 months ago. We wouldn't be in this horrendous mess now.Valiantphil said:

Whose she.... Its funny as on lbc last week a professor of economics said quite the opposite.PragueAddick said:As I have been trying to point out here on GDP forecasts for several months now...
Also on Ian dale show last week when talking to an irish minister currently working in their prime ministers government, agreed that ireland exported 50% of its agriculture to the uk.. And 60-70% of its other goods. This came about as their jumped up litle pm was going to veto against us in the up and coming meetings.
Then comes on this Doctor of irish EU economics and said they export 13% to the uk for agricultural and more to the USA...
The formers figures were backed up by the independent prior to the brexit vote, who got rheir figures from errr the irish government.0 -

On PMQ's today Theresa May said the common travel area in Ireland would stay, and there would be no infrastructure at the border in Ireland.
Theresa May has abandoned or cancelled Brexit.
So the export of ROI's agriculture into the UK will continue seeing as how Theresa May has announced today that brexit is over as far as taking back control of the borders is concerned.
For somebody who says brexit was the democratic will of the British people to object to the democratically electedIrish Taoiseach by calling him 'jumped up', jumped up no less, a democratic decision is a jumped up one, for somebody to say that is truly somebody who loves to be ruled by the undemocratic parliamentary system in the UK where you are all subjects of The Queen.
Elected yet jumped up, unelected yet sovereign.
Anyway rejoice, brexit has been cancelled today.

IF the £350m a week is true (and who knows?) it will be a payment we will not be making for the foreseeable future. That's a big total !Chizz said:
The Chancellor announced the additional cost of £3bn. So, again, let me suggest that voting for a windfall of £350m and, instead of getting it, receiving a bill of £57m, is probably worth being "afraid of", on balance. Although, as you brought up the issue of "the children", maybe we should we just leave it to them to worry about, like every other part of the self-inflicted economic chaos that is being brought about by Brexit.Valiantphil said:

1. We have not seen any benefit from the £350m a week. As predicted.Valiantphil said:

Don't panic - let's Brexit.
2. We have - today - stumped up another £57m a week.
The former number was, of course, made up, unreliable, a lie - call it what you will. The latter - our cost, to be paid by UK taxpayers - is a fact, introduced by the Chancellor today and payable for (at least) the next two years.
So, whereas we were promised we would be better off to the tune of £350m, so far that estimate is out by £407m a week. That's a lot of hospitals we are going to have to do without.2 -
Indeed.Valiantphil said:

350m is a correct figure I believe .. however it is gross pre-rebate, not net, so is far away from the actual figure which I believe is in the vicinity of 280m.Valiantphil said:

The figure for 60-70% of Irish exported goods going to the UK would, I might suggest, include goods in transit. While the impact on the Irish economy is more significant for agricultural products, especially beef and milk, the UK is nowhere near as important to the Irish economy as it once was (a far greater proportion of Irish business relies on the rest of the EU).Chippycafc said:

Jumped up or otherwise, the Taoiseach is doing his best to represent Irish interests, even if that means voting against entering into future relationship discussions. He seems, at the moment, to be doing a better job of gaining necessary support from the EU than his counterpart.3 -

Don't panic - let's Brexit.
In 2016 the UK government paid £13.1 billion to the EU budget, and EU spending on the UK was forecast to be £4.5 billion. So the UK’s ‘net contribution’ was estimated at about £8.6 billion.
Each year the UK gets a discount on its contributions to the EU—the ‘rebate’—worth almost £4 billion last year. Without it the UK would have been liable for £17 billion in contributions.
So £8.6 billion works out at about £165 million a week.5 -
The CBI also estimates that EU membership brings Britain up to £78bn a year in benefits. Which is about £1.5bn a week.5

Chaps - you forget, the Brexit bunch don't care about facts, figures, economics or social costs. One of them said it earlier in the thread. They will burn down their own house and shoot their own dog if it means it's an entitled British toff, or rich media mogul telling them what to do, rather than a sneaky, non-English speaking foreigner.

So, if the Irish Government does not believe that enough detail has been provided to satisfy it that a workable border solution is at hand; or if the other member states believe that the border proposals do not meet the EU's basic requirements, there will be no move to any second phase of discussions.
The clue, if you will, about the importance of the border is that that nice Mr. Varadkar keeps talking about a veto. Assuming, just this once, that a politician might know about that of which they speak, this would indicate that his is a position of some strength, and not one that can just be ignored. On a personal level, I would have expected, had the rest of the EU wished to be able to overrule him, that the award of the EMA/EBA might have been delayed to allow for potential use as compensation/sweetener.0 -
To be honest I have never heard of this.
The European Commission has given a Budget Day boost to Philip Hammond, announcing that it will be taking the UK off the list of countries with too-large spending deficits.
Naming the Chancellor personally, Pierre Moscovici, the EU finance's commissioner, told reporters in Brussels that the UK would be removed from the EU's Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP).
The economics chief said the UK had "durably" reduced its deficit, meaning it would no longer be subject to the potential fines and economic sanctions for having a higher deficit.
“On what happens to be the day on which Phil Hammond presents his 2018 budget in the House of Commons, we have good news for him - we are recommending the closure of the Excessive Deficit Procedure for the UK because the country durably reduced its deficit from a peak of 10 per cent of GDP in 2009-2010 to 2.3 per cent in 2016-17 in line with he Council recommendation of 2015," he said on Wednesday, hours ahead of the UK's Budget statement.1 -
