Brexit Talks are difficult - Irish Minister - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

RTE News: Reports " Coveney says EU-UK talks proving 'very, very difficult' "

Lets Get Real:

The EU is being difficult, on the very same subjects that have caused problems from the start, fish, regulations and UK Government support for companies after BREXIT.  The UK has shown it red lines from the start, if the EU wants to play games, well then the UK should walk away, these farce of talks have gone on long enough, time for the UK to make the decision and walk away, that would frighten the EU to come to terms that benefit the UK.  The longer the talks go on, the more frustrating they become and help the EU, the EU in this case France and Germany will have to be shown who is in charge, that is the UK voter not the Brussels.

Any Brexit Deal will PASS with Labour Support - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Guido Fawkes: Reports in its 3.31pm of yesterday the following, " In a marked turn of events from last year, Labour is planning to for once back a Brexit deal in the House of Commons. Despite Starmer’s designed-to-be-failed ‘six tests’ ruse last year, Labour is now gearing up to vote for a deal, marketing the decision as “the only way to stop no deal“.  "

Lets Get Real:

The new Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer just wants BREXIT to go away, he needs to get the red wall back, and the only way to that is to support a BREXIT DEAL.   This could help Boris, if a lot of hard Brexit MPs oppose the deal then he will need Labour support.  The Labour Party could hardly support a NO DEAL BREXIT, if the UK Government comes back with a deal, the Labour Party has opposed a NO DEAL BREXIT for years, but politics is always changing, thus the reverse move by Labour.   The question will there be a DEAL, thus far no smoke signals, white or black! 

Lorries FEAR over NO DEAL Brexit - Brexit Update 1- Economy/Health

Remainer fear of gloom and doom over Brexit No Deal

Sky News: Reports " No-deal Brexit could disrupt medicines and vaccine delivery, industry warns...A major voice in the pharma sector echoes warnings that Brexit risks delaying crucial supplies as winter hits its height.  "

Lets Get Real:

In the 2016 campaign the HARD REMAINERS stated that the UK economy would go over a cliff if the UK left the EU, that did not happen, the only thing that is bringing economy to the cliff edge is COVID - 19.  The Government had two options, either protect public health or keep the economy going through COVID - 19, the Government chose to protect health at the expense of the economy and thus the UK is expected to borrow 372 billion to get the UK over Covid - 19.  The remain lobby will use any problem to get the UK to backtrack on BREXIT.  The UK should be firm, OUR BREXIT our way.

UK Spending Plans - Economic Health of the UK

BBC News: Reports " Public borrowing is expected to rise to £372bn - compared to the £55bn the government had originally expected to borrow.  "

Lets Get Real:

Chancellor Rishi Sunak must freeze the wages in the public sector, even the NHS, the Government will have to lift taxes, for example VAT, that everyone pays, cut welfare, cut the monies spent by the Government Departments and that is just the START.  The Furlough does not end in till March, the vaccine for COVID - 19 will take time to get out.  In that period one will see an increase of those made unemployed, thus an increase in welfare.  The UK will go through a TOUGH period, the Government debt due to COVID - 19 will take years to pay back.   There should be no increase in taxes, that does not help, it just makes Jeremy Corbyn happy and the loopy left.  Then we come to Brexit, a recent review predicted a 80% chance of a DEAL, we shall see.  Fraught time ahead for the UK

Irish positive on EU/UK Brexit Talks - Brexit Update 3 - Transitional Phase

Telegraph: Reports " Outline of Brexit trade deal could be in sight at end of week, says Irish prime minister...Michel Barnier warns there are still fundamental differences between the EU and UK in the trade negotiations  "

Lets Get Real:

Of course there will be concessions, the UK and the EU have their RED LINES, but the UK can not sell out the fishermen and OUR FISH in OUR WATERS, the UK alone must decide on parts of the economy that gets government support due to COVID - 19.  Also the European Court of Justice can not be part of the deal.   Both sides need to sell the deal as a victory, otherwise it will be torn apart by those that oppose the deal or wanted to REMAIN within the EU.  Time is short, the Diplomats must get to work. 

No Date set for in person meetings over UK/EU Talks - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Independent: Reports " No date set for in-person talks to resume as negotiations stuck at crucial stage "

Lets Get Real:

At least with modern technology the UK and the EU can discuss the details of any agreement by seeing the other side, and can they be trusted, the French are pushing for fish concessions that they have NOW, that is a no go for the UK Government.  The EU wants an agreement that makes sure that the UK and the EU have the same regulations, that is doable if left a bit fuzzy, the ECJ can not have a role in this agreement, that is NO GO FOR for the European Research Group.   That leaves open how to enforce the deal, that takes trust, at this moment this blog does not trust EU as far as it can throw it, intense talks ahead.

Brexit Latest - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

The Sun: Reports " BORIS Johnson is expected to make a dramatic Brexit intervention ahead of a new "deadline" for talks to conclude...It is understood that a new deadline of next Tuesday... "

Lets Get Real:

There seems an awful lot of deadlines in these talks between the UK and the EU, it this it, next Tuesday, I will not hold by breath, it depends what concessions the EU demanding, and what will the UK give for a free trade deal.  As a vaccine for COVID - 19 is around the corner, the issue of Brexit will get more attention.  The main sticking points for the UK is that the UK should have control over our FISH in OUR WATERS.  The French from reports are still demanding a massive concessions for French fishermen, this should get a firm NO from the UK, these endless games must stop, one does not want to be here on December 31st discussing this again.
