Dominic Raab is useless

If you need any confirmation go to 8 minutes in .. Mr Raab wants to lower import tariffs for Agriculture and Industry.

IMHO that is totally the opposite of what should be done. Tariffs should remain unless the quality, regulation and standards of the products are similar. And even then people need jobs in the UK - WTO rules would not only have a tariff but a quota.

Dominic Raab is useless.

 
THis is my only post in the politics bit.

What did leavers think would happen?


This policy wouldn't be so bad IF it was based on products which the UK does not produce - such as bananas.

However, IMHO the UK should attempt to reclaim some of the market share of home produce goods lost over the decades of EU manipulation.

Raab is unimpressive and quite frankly given Cameron's abandonment of UK Steel workers these peopel within the Conservative Party need subjigating.

At one point in the leave campaign did ANY politician say that they would protect UK farm produce through tariffs?

No ..... they said “they need us, more then we need them”. Therefore they deduced, the Eurocrats would crap themselves, fold their cards, and give Britain anything, just anything UK wanted, just so EU could continue trade with UK.

ZZZzzz

You had your chance to leave the EU and change your politics.

You blew it.

I don't care about the EU at all ever. Given the way you act I couldn't care less about Ireland either.

Are you seriously suggesting that he is any more useless than David Davis, Liam Fox, Gove or Bojo?

Any of them did/would do a better job than Raab.

You only have to look at him whenever he is with Barnier to see how he is totally submissive.

Davis’s attitude was much better And he would not let Barnier get the better of him, but in a very clever way.

Davis and BoJo were glad to get some excuse, ANY excuse to go before the end game.
Nobody wants to be left holding the bag .....
Mogg of course will keep well away from any position of authority. Best to look smart whilst sneering at the people struggling with the mess.

Can’t you just close your eyes now, and imagine the trade deals that will get done on your behalf in future... :scratchhead::scratchhead:

Yep they'll keep the Corpse of May alive until April and then submit the coup de grace. Gove will be the second back stabber as the first doesn't usually gain the Crown. Spineless creeps all of them

And Raab was so lorded as the tough man






Joke.






The irony is that Tusk probably offered the UK a Canada + deal first way back and I don't see any of the idiots getting any further forward

Fox is being lobbied hard by conservative lobby group the IEA. They have accepted almost half a million in "donations" from American meat producers to get a mou from Liam fox that post brexit a trade agreement with America will be honoured.
This will ruin the Irish and British meat industry. .but he doesn't care

We'll have trade deals with every country who wants to sell us things and to whom we sell things. Prepared to bet we won't? (Money to agreed charity :))

So what’s this then? Land on Brexit square. Go back seventy EU trade deals you already have and start all over again...
Meanwhile miss out on the next big global trade deal EU and Japan.
In fifty years time in the Moggorian calendar, when you might have recovered the original seventy EU trade deals you lost, don’t bother calling Japan. The Japanese will not have forgotten how you shafted it’s very many companies who domiciled in UK as their EU base. One might conclude your Brexit will be the equivalent of hara kiri in terms of doing business with Japan.

I once read an article that the UK civil service wanted to destroy the CAP whilst within the EU.

I would say Dominic Raab is backing up Ollie Robbins fetish for destruction of UK industry and Agriculture. A fetish going on almost 50 years now.

You need to see the plans Brexiteer pioneer Patrick Minford has for British industry...... “shut it all down” he says. Concentrate on marketing and writing apps he says.
