woody2 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 benn withdrew his amendment that would stop a no agreement exit the other week as it had zero support.... Quote a report from MPs on the Exiting the EU Committee says the government must rule out a no-deal Brexit. Committee chairman Hilary Benn said: "The suggestion that the UK might opt for a no-deal outcome but assume that the EU will continue to act in a co-operative manner to avoid disruption, cannot seriously constitute the policy of any responsible government." However, a Tory member of the committee, Craig Mackinlay, said he "disowned" the report findings as "just more Project Fear from a group of MPs who have never wanted the UK to leave the EU".

woolley Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 On 1/26/2019 at 5:22 PM, John Wright said: Bank of England says the economy has lost £440 million per week in lost growth since 23/6/2016. £60 billion and counting. http://remainerstoolkit.co.uk/cost.html?fbclid=IwAR0xwVrkmsFmMWwxDCT3mFrrnHz9NL_XJfSacFOlxNgj6pFL7ce7rLYf4ZE What utter tripe. Let's count some money we never had and were never likely to have and blame the loss on Brexit. This despite record employment and massive inward investment figures. "Remainerstoolkit" eh? That'll be objective then! Really! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 This is probably a stupid question, but if there’s a no deal Brexit why will inward trade grind to a halt or slow down? Can’t we just do the same checks we’re doing now until a new arrangement is put in place? (Answers containing the words Project Fear will be ignored as manifest bollocks).

Because under WTO we have to charge and collect the tarriffs, up to 30%, on imported goods. That includes from the EU and the 60 other countries with which, through the EU, we currently have FTA bilateral trade agreements. We can’t discriminate, pick and choose the tarriffs absent a Trade Agreement. That covers roughly 95% of UK import trade. At present we don’t need to do that quite as strictly, and for EU goods, and goods already in the EU, not at all. Or we could just not impose tarriffs on anything and not bother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly correct, but not correct. If the EU and UK both agree to zero tariffs between them then that is permissible under WTO. The UK is, was, and will be a member of WTO in it's own right regardless of EU. The UK has never left WTO since being a founder member.
