Never thought I'd read Torygraph commenters talking down Brexit. Are they mad?
"The Brexiteers lied. They said economic logic was just Project Fear. Well investment in the car industry is now at 25% of 2015 levels, business are relocating to the EU27, supply chains are being reconfigured without the UK and real wages have now fallen for three consecutive quarters (last seen in 1976). All this before we have actually left. Time for the Brexiteers to stop lying - they are traitors to the country. "
Well he or she is right. The UK led by vacuous individuals who are wasting time and money with obfuscation for deals that already exist by default through membership. It is utterly depressing the government who instead of managing the country, is spending tax payers money over party infighting. The Tories are a disgrace."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Originally posted by sasguru View PostBrexit clarity needed to avoid 'tipping point' for industry as companies abandon investment in UK
"“If they don’t have that assurance there will come a tipping point, sometime in 2018, when boards in the UK and elsewhere will need to make decisions based on the state of the negotiations at that point.
“They cannot wait until the end of the process for confirmation of a deal on our departure or future trading relationship.”
Without this certainty, he raised the prospect of companies shunning the UK for investment, hitting the country’s economic health, pointing out that many businesses across Europe are interconnected, regardless of which country they are physically located in.
“Businesses need to know much sooner what transitional arrangements will be in place, and for how long. A failure to do so will damage our collective economic interests, a situation which would be as tragic as it would harmful.”
