EU to impose fines on UK

So the UK has failed to implement the Northern Ireland protocol, the agreement we made to enable brexit. Now we are breaking our contract.

EU say they can impose millions of pounds of daily fines. Lorry queues at Dover again. 300,000 students have lost their opportunity for Erasmus, the NHS money never materialised. The economy has lost £100Bn annually in trade

What happens now

Well the NI protocol wasn't working, so it's hard to see the UK has any other choice but try to find a compromise.

Nothing happens. None of this means anything to those who orchestrated and benefited from brexit.

The people who voted for it will still pretend it's all worth it for blue passports that we could have had anyway, and/or will blame the EU/Remainers/Corbyn.

Sorted.

There's a video circulating Twitter right now from Question Time circa 2016 of someone claiming that the "Divorce Bill" would be £50 billion was just scaremongering and project fear...

How did that age today, when the govt announce the bill is over £50 billion

"

Agreed. However that includes (apparently) working with the EU to not have a border in Ireland.


"

I thought we were paying for british bureaucrats pensions. Like Farage.


"

That's where I got to as well. It's not clear what the root cause is. Dover isn't gonna say it's them so I suspect we won't know from few days.


"

Swings and roundabouts if this is better. I believe Turi g doesn't cover tuition fees and a lot is being spent on visas.

Why not both ?


"

Trade to the EU is on the up reported recently. "

This was up from a low right? And helped by the spike in gas prices.

Key question is would it have been less up if we were in the EU. If not, the win is "we did shoot ourselves on the foot".

it's been reported in the FT this week that profit from trade between NI and Ireland has outstripped anything previously and the boom has created huge sums of wealth for NI business and their economy which is impossible to match by internal trade. it appears that the silent majority in NI don't want the conservative and unionist government interfering in what has clearly become a goose that is laying golden eggs for NI.

Simple fact for you

We paid net £9b to be members

We are now losing in excess of £40b in tax revenue directly due to Brexit.

Yes I guess you don’t like facts.

There is only one ikkle problem. The UK was committed to outstanding project support and standing at £7.5 billion more now that inflation has been added.

Eu and their ridiculous priorities!

Meanwhile ….Uk seeking emergency authorisation to be able to increase pumping gas by 34% more than normal from uk to Europe to fill Europe storage tanks before winter crisis. Also comes on information that uk is keeping France topped up with electricity… and investment agreed for new uk-Germany power line to be laid.

What are friends for … right?

Interesting.

Still, yes, let's all ignore it and look at this distraction over here.

The increase to Europe is for our own benefit it seems

"Britain gets less than 4pc of its gas directly from Russia but is exposed to knock-on effects from Europe’s markets. It typically exports to Europe during summer and imports during winter, effectively making use of storage capacity on the Continent. It has been sending more than usual in recent weeks, effectively acting as a “bridge” to Europe for supplies of liquified natural gas shipped in from around the world. "

yes, when the gas which we have sent for storage in the EU is pumped back for us to use in the winter the cost will have increased and the figures will show a very steep drop in exports and the equivalent steep rise in imports. when we have used the stored gas by around new year as is the norm, the uk will be forced to resume buying russian gas from third party countries again, only the third party countries will add the usual extra margin that they always have done increasing costs further.

Presumably linked to the information on increased gas exporting from Uk to Eu as British ports have greater capacity and ability to process gas from other countries than the Eu ports.

As Europe works quickly to replace their reliance on Russian gas, uk is supporting at all points in the chain

That’s what friends and neighbours do, right?

They don’t start litigating because a pack of sausages from Liverpool only destined for a supermarket in Belfast needs to be checked by said friend and neighbour and they want uk to do that for them …

Yes I know ! Somewhat generalised, but the bigger point is there. Pragmatism is the order of the day … and it’s being shunned by the EU in favour of an over zealous petty attitude.

(Petty, yes! and ridiculous - the EU are still holding back association to Horizon Europe for the sake of said prepacked sausages.)

there feels like there are two issues here

One supply for today's needs

Two, getting ready for supply in the winter.

My reading is that we may improt more in winter than we export in the summer, with Europe filling the rest of the storage elsewhere.

But there is a risk "elsewhere" isn't going to fill the storage, so we want to top up the sttitgae with more of our own somwe know it's there when we need it.

That's the reason for emergency legislation. It's self serving.

But should the UK be able to break other promises because it's being helpful elsewhere. That's not a healthy relationship.

so the conservative and unionist government are about to destroy the biggest trade boom and resulting record colossal profits NI have ever known along with ruining the country's reputation by breaking international law over a pack of sausages? there seems to be no limit on how low the uk government's pettifogging becomes.

I don’t think we’re donating it as a charity so we are selling it at the higher rates . Shame we can’t store it anymore for our own winter use. Why is that? Another great decision

"Well the NI protocol wasn't working, so it's hard to see the UK has any other choice but try to find a compromise."

It was clear from the outset of the Brexit campaigns that the NI issue was an impossible step to acheive.

The leaver leaders claimed they could sort, but their claims were as untrue as their £350m a week saving being given to the NHS. Still Boris "Got it done".

I believe now the only solution is for NI to join with Eire so it becomes the United States of Ireland. They retain autonomy but can join the EU.

I sincerely hope the Scottish people will think long and hard before seeking to break with they UK based on the stories being told by independence advocates.
