Minister for the Eighteenth Century" wants to keep up to speed. The border in the Irish sea was only put in the EU proposal as a fall back position that nobody wants, but was signed up to by all the parties in the absence of any new ones at the time of publication. This then allows talks to move onto trade which will define what and where the border eventually is.

So guys, have I ever mentioned the nightmare scenario which awaits the British car industry post a Mogg type Brexit. Delays, frustrations, paperwork, longer lead time, more investment in warehousing, higher inventory, regulation issues, higher costs, lower return on investment, etc, etc!

Car bosses getting really nervous right now!!

Just read an article where Rabobank are pulling out of savings accounts in Eire. They are holding £3bn worth of deposits for 90,000 clients. There is also talk of insecurity in the Irish banking sector with bail-ins as instructed by the EU becoming a distinct possibility. Touch of deja vu perhaps without the rescue.

Maybe it will leave a chance for a uk parts supplier to make a margin, maybe even expand. Reducing inventory costs.

Should UK Gov reduce there tax, payed for by Tarriffs on Irish food, German tractors, French cheese, Spanish tomatoes, renting our fishing waters to Spain, the car factories will just carry on regardless.

Don't forget they are using a lot of parts from the Far East now while we are still in the EU.

They require warehouses for those now today.

Have you heard Ryan Air have dropped a clanger, UK customers are boycotting them in favour of other low cost airlines.

Jet2 and Norwegian are expanding fast. The Dublin hub depends on Ryanair so what will happen next?

Decisive swing will happen in the closing couple of weeks of the next general election campaign. Ditto the last election.
The issue of “a”, customs union will be the straw that breaks the Tories back, and decides the next election!

customs union is a non issue, single market is the issue of the century and Corbyn wont back it as it wont allow him to follow through his agenda.

You've said yourself the public are too thick to know what they were voting for, so why are they going to vote on the terms of one if they dont understand it? this is what tickles me about you. you change your views on things as the wind blows, yet i've been pretty clear for the last 3 years on here.

You guys in Rep Ireland are rightly very worried.
But frankly most voters in England Scotland Wales don't give a fig about RI.

Best thing you can do is to have your own Referendum. IMHO.

Customs union ain’t going away anytime soon. It’s certainly the bar which will give JC most leverage in a GE scenario. The remoaner wing of the Tory’s will want to see Corbyn’s CU and raise the bet. The Lemming wing led by Boris an escaped mental patient, and Mogger, an eighteenth century relic, will loose all remaining remnants of their sanity and cry foul.
