Thanks for misrepresenting what is actually happening in Norway through your obvious total dependence on UK news media for your information, Liz (and not actual Norwegian news). But remember anyway, in Norway when there is talk about "joining the EU" it is in comparison to our existing EEA status that we enjoy as an EFTA member. In other words, even if we decide by referendum to take that action (and no initiative to that effect has yet been suggested by any government party) we know that we have already fulfilled the Copenhagen Criteria and have also already adopted 90% of the Acquis Communautaire into domestic law. Even when the UK was a member it had achieved neither of these targets, and since leaving you have diverged hugely from both. Let's have a race, shall we?

Computer projects are all very well but not the kind of challenge that I needed to distract me from the harsh realities of Brexit. After the house purchase was completed my savings stretched to work on the roof - just before the terrible rain started fortunately. A new front door has been installed, the old back door has been refitted, the internal doors have been rehung & the old windows have new handles. The drains have been repaired & damp proofing will commence in January. New floors, kitchen & bathroom will have to wait. Saving mode commences in February. Meanwhile I have stocked up on items to make small repairs & new light fittings are ready to be fitted. My new neighbours have been very helpful & informative & so far the area has been very quiet. On Christmas Eve I returned to my previous address to visit with old neighbours & noticed that my old flat had already been occupied. That felt good because accommodation in the UK is at a premium now. Enough about me & my latest project. How goes it with you & yours? I hope that your National Health Service is coping well with the new & old viruses that seem to be proliferating in the UK. How goes it in your part of Europe?

It is said that when the little crisis at the Channel Islands was at its highest, BoJo called Merkel. She had her secretary to say that she would call back, but she never did. She knew what BoJo wanted and, not calling back, did send a message to London. If the story is true or not, I don't know, but it illustrates the German and French position very well.

The manipulation may involve "cracking" (diluting the voting power of the opposing party's supporters across many districts) or "packing" (concentrating the opposing party's voting power in one district to reduce their voting power in other districts).[3] Gerrymandering can also be used to protect incumbents.

Several industries have been impacted by Brexit, including: Automotive: The automotive industry has faced challenges such as: Supply issues Higher costs New tariffs on parts that don't meet rules of origin requirements Customs delays Increased administrative costs Clothing, retail, and food: These industries have faced: Bigger expenses Red tape at borders Transport, hospitality, and retail: These sectors have been particularly hard hit by a lack of workers. Financial services: This sector may have lost 7,000 jobs, according to a House of Commons report. Small exporters: Many small exporters have stopped exporting to the EU. Other impacts of Brexit include: Wales and Northern Ireland were the regions most affected by Brexit. Accommodation, construction, and wholesale trade were particularly impacted in terms of earnings and employment levels. By the end of 2022, total British goods exports had fallen by 6.4% and imports by 3.1%.

In 2015, polling showed that the people would vote to remain in the EU. When we had a referendum in 2016, the majority voted to leave. Those same polls predicted Hillary Clinton would be the president that same year. The reality is polls can not be trusted for several reasons including that they take no account of the effect of campaigns which precede referendums. Starmer talks about a "reset", but he will be treated with the same disdain and abuse that Cameron experienced when he tried to get concessions and that May experienced in 2017 when she was frozen out. The Eurocrats will see Starmer as weak and desperate and willing to concede whatever is demanded while gaining precious little in return. Fortunately, Starmer can't rejoin the EU and he knows it, and whatever concessions he does make can be overturned when the next government comes to power, but he could do even more damage to the economy, and relations with potential trading partners, until he is finally removed. You picking a Bloomberg stooge to back up your anti-Brexit diatribe proves nothing. Bloomberg is corporatist and globalist and WEF to its very core.

[@desmondroberts6034]

@DoggleBird Clinton won the popular vote by over 1 millon votes I believe so; the opinion polls were correct as executed. There's always the complication of extrapolating the electoral college tally from the popular vote. Pundits, rather than statisticians I suspect, just jump to conclusions rather than spending the money to achieve a more precise result. The referendum result in 2016 was within the margin of error (52/48). Cameron, far from being treated with 'disdain' and 'abuse' did come away with important concessions, I remember Juncker announcing that the UK need take no further part in 'ever closer union'. Since this was a principle mentioned even in the original treaty on the functioning of the EEC, the Treaty of Rome 1958; such was a very important concession. The media and the Leave campaign of course, rubbished his efforts and blinded people with propaganda. The concessionary agreement was important enough that Jean-Claude Juncker declared it null and void the first time that he responded publicly to the referendum result.

[@DoggleBird]

@@desmondroberts6034 The prediction by the polls was that Clinton would win the presidency. They were wrong. She didn't. Polls are often wrong. Many of the polls in 2015 were outside the margin of error - and polls can change rapidly. They are of little use. Cameron didn't come away with anything much - he just needed to pretend that he had. The "ever closer union" thing was in relation to what was said in 1957, namely: "...to lay the foundations of an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe". That was always vague nonsense and they weren't conceding anything important.

I don't think the UK is trying to get a trade deal with the USA. Obviously there will be discussion, but already 22% of the UK's exports go to the USA, and there is plenty of potential to increase that without a trade deal, which is why the UK has already signed 8 trade collaboration agreements with various USA states, i.e. Business development arrangements usung existing trade rules, which are based on WTO rules. Trade deals can take up to 20 years to negotiate, e.g. EU/Mercosur or even 10+ years. But Trump is only there for 4 years.

[@dantownsend4246]

ONLY the USA ways and means committee can sign off on trade deals. MOU’s between a US state and a foreign country carry zero weight. You can sign a MOU with your building janitor

[@peterclareburt4594]

@dantownsend4246 I guess you have never been in the position of exporting goods or services to another country, because you certainly don't seem to understand trade. For a start the USA is the UK's largest export target country. The UK already exports 22% of it's total exports to the USA. That one country takes half the Exports that the whole of the EU, 27 countries takes at the moment. (41%) And guess what the Ways and Means Committee hasn't signed any of that off. You see what typically happens is a business in one country sells to a business in another country. I managed a branch of a USA software sales company covering the Middle East and therefore my branch marketed and sold software to companies in various Middle East countries. Part of that process amongst other things was attending trade fairs which were put on by government bodies and these provided an opportunity for businesses to propose opportunities to other businesses in other countries to trade. It's loosely called business development. My eldest daughter was the NZ female lead of a delegation arranged between the New Zealand trade competency and the Australian trade competency where they created a forum for businesses from both countries to meet and discuss trade opportunities. The PMs and several ministers of both countries attended. She secured two contracts from that trip which were exports of a service from NZ to Aus. The Governor of New Jersey came to London recently with a team of his trade people to discuss trade opportunities with equivalents in the UK. Unfortunately that coincided with the Presidential election results and so the meetings were persponed. So these MOUs are business development arrangements, they allow the USA state trade competencies, and USA state businesses to work with the UK trade competency and UK businesses to discover trade opportunities, and then help those trade opportunities move forward into exports/imports. In this way that 22% of UK exports to the USA can grow without any Ways and Means Committee approval. That would be another level of trade development, but there is potential to work within the existing agreement. Which is of course under standard WTO rules. Now this is an important brexit benefit as the UK didn't have a fully staffed trade competency until after the transition, just 4 years ago. They used to send Prince Andrew as a trade Envoy! Now they have a department of some 6,000 staff, more or less. So now the UK government can move forward business development programmes across all its target trade countries including those in the EU. The UK has historically, (over the last 40 years) been bad at this. Time to do better and after brexit there is an increased urgency to do better.
