“In an interview with the Sunday Times to celebrate his success as “Britain’s most successful businessman”, Ratcliffe said: “What’s the reason to invest in the UK? Our skills are not great. We’ve got to deal with unions. We’re isolated from Europe. We’ve got logistical costs. Low tax rates help, but cheap energy could really help create those manufacturing jobs we need.”Comment

Yorkie believes that rising GDP is a valid measure of “the economy”
The first component of GDP is private consumption.
Therefore, Yorkie paying an extra 10% for his car is good for the economy.Comment

Originally posted by meridian View PostUnder a No Deal situation, ultimately the UK Government. It's effectively a UK import tax, set out in the UK WTO schedules - the importer pays the tariff, and the consumer (you) pays the importer. So not only have you helped to increase GDP, but you're also contributing more to help us pay for ferries and lorry parks.Comment

Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostGood so you agree that the extra import tariff, assuming I actually have to pay it as my contract is with a UK company and not SEAT, is a boost to the UK economy because the government will have the extra cash the import duties generate.
Swings and roundabouts though - you no longer have that 10% to spend in the High Street, and the government now has it to spend on bungs to the DUP.Comment
