NO EXTENSION

[Bankville]

Of course there is paperwork now for businesses, how do you think they account for VAT and profit and loss to HMRC, it will be just another form for the import office of a company to fill out, yes its a bit more work but Im sure if they import from outside the EU they have a software programme that allocates stuff whhere it should be and pays the duty to the Gov, and if ALL the politicians stop playing silly buggers and get it sorted it shouldn't be too onerous, of course if we all bought uk made stuff it wouldnt be an issue,

So your telling me ATM Tesco for example notify hmrc and pay vat moving goods from distribution centre in GB to their own stores in NI?

I doubt it... but they will have to do customs declaration under this deal to do such a move

This seems true.

Well we are in some part a bit further down the road towards some kind of progress. Labour this morning via Sir Kier Starmer are a remain group stating that a confirmatory referendum with the current deal v remain (note not a different deal as this is now off the table as far as the EU are concerned) is the Labour objective. What we don’t know is how the actual relationship between the EU and us will be after 2020. Frankly the idea of this whole thing dragging on past 2020 is painful to say the least. I know no one knows what the actual future relationship will be and also how regulatory the UK would be post a departure. What chance of these important issues becoming any clearer at the forthcoming election?!! Our relationship with the EU has always been at odds with the ultimate EU direction of travel so I suppose now is as good a time as any to thrash out where we see ourselves in the next 30/40 years.

But the Dup won't agree to the deal. How will they get around the lovely Arlene

No idea. I was just trying to our some perspective on this whole messy situation. Without doubt since the referendum the momentum seems to have been with the remain camp. If in the final analysis we stay in and the EU reform (it will require other member states to join the UK voice) then maybe this whole episode would have a positive outcome after all

The Labour Party now seems to consider it is the Government, despite the fact that the Tory party still has the biggest number of MP’s in Parliament.

Having changed stance from recognising and implementing Brexit to Remain, what gets me is that the reason for their stance is the loss of workers rights and environmental standards, once we leave the EU.

If they are so confident that they would win the next Election, they could immediately reintroduce any of these right and standards.

So why don’t they want that election now?

I'm convinced the DUP are remainers , but saw an opportunity to get some Whitehall dosh , now when push comes to shove they're jibbing

When the rhi inquiry comes out shortly,Arlene will be put out to grass in the house of lords and the DUP will become a remain party

Nope, they have been reasonably consistent in their euro scepticism since the 1970s.

Surely in that case they new there would have to be a border somewhere

 

[nivilla1982]

Yes where it currently is between NI/UK and the ROI, not in the Irish Sea.

From the smatterings of Irish posts I've seen I think the DUP represent a fear that in Irish Unification the Unionists will suffer greatly.

The DUP would rather be in the EU than face Southern Ireland dictating their removal or persecution.

The truth will hopefully come out in the wash during a general election.

Plenty of skeletons in the cupboard/press on both sides of the fence.

Partially right and also very wrong. Arlene will probably have to take the hit for RHI as she was at the centre of that affair.

However the DUP will not become a remain party. They have always opposed the EU, largely due to the fact the EU likes to support Ireland interfering in the affairs of NI. You only have to look at how they have tried (and partially succeeded) in annexing NI in the Brexit negotiations.

Unionists do fear unification. You only have to look at how Sinn Fein treat unionist culture to see how unionists would be treated in a united ireland.
