The Brexit FISHING WARS with France - After Brexit

Sky News: Reports " Brexit: France prepares sanctions which could affect UK power supplies over fishing dispute....Tensions over the post-Brexit fishing situation caused both France and Britain to dispatch maritime vessels off the shores of Jersey earlier this year. "

Lets Get Real:

The UK will not be blackmailed by the French of ALL PEOPLE, the French Government has never gotten over the FACT that the UK left the EU and is prospering, it does work with French logic or ego.  The UK should make it clear to the French, that any blocking of PORTS or sanctions will be meet in kind, the Royal Navy should take in toe any ships that are blocking the PORTS and arrest the crew, send the crew back to Paris on the Euro Train and sell the boats at auction, that would show the French.  The UK is in discussions with the EU over the Northern Ireland Protocol, the UK has to be firm with the EU, either our way or we invoke Article 16 and suspend parts of the Protocol that is not working for the UK.  The UK has to be firm with the French and the EU, the UK voted out in 2016 and confirmed that in the 2019 general election, the PM has to find his inner Churchill or Lady Thatcher. 

Billionaire TAX - The Biden Domestic Agenda - Biden Era / New Tax Era?

Daily Mail: Reports " Democrats unveiled a new billionaires' tax proposal targeting 700 of America's wealthiest people to help pay for Joe Biden's mammoth spending plan on Wednesday, and it's already hit opposition. "

Lets Get Real:

This is the madness that happens when you allow the Democrats to be in charge of the White House and the HILL, they go bonkers with their liberal supporters.  Those Dems on the Hill KNOW that they could be OUT on their ears next year in the Mid Terms.  If I was one of the 700 I would make it my joy to run as many adverts to oppose the Democrats in the House and Senate who support this crazy idea.   The point of America is that it is not a socialist STATE, it is about men and women and others making it in the US, that means being successful, if your target billionaires then you will go for millionaires and then the middle class, the left is always spending the money of others, there is never enough money for them. 

Government Spending UP in the UK - Conservative Government - After Brexit

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports " The chancellor pledges a major increase in public spending amid higher than expected economic growth....Total departmental spending will increase by £150bn by 2024-25, which Rishi Sunak says is the largest increase this century  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a Conservative BLOG, the Budget was one you would expect from a Labour Government, there was a lot of spending, the only good news or bad news depending on how it effects you is that the Living Wage is going up, and there was reform in Universal Credit, people on it can keep more of their money than before.  This blog was looking for drastic cuts in Taxes, there was a mention that since we are out of the EU, EU rules on Ships no long apply.  Also spirits tax was reduced, that will be good for pubs, if you go to a pub these days after COVID - 19.   The Virus is still large in WALES.  One expects that this Budget was a place holder for a big tax cuts next year in time for a General Election.   No wonder Labour's reply was hardly great, they could have delivered such a Budget.  As a Conservative one has hopes for NEXT YEAR.  

Biden's BIG WIN on the Way - Domestic Agenda - Biden Era

The New York Times: Reports " President Biden and Democratic congressional leaders raced Monday to strike a compromise on a sprawling domestic policy plan, pushing for a vote within days... "

Lets Get Real:

Thus by the end of the week, the Biden Oval will have two big wins, one on infrastructure and a social agenda, the LIBERALS at the start wanted 6 trillion to spend on the social agenda side, then they cut it to 3.5 and now it looks like it will be between 1 to 2 trillion.  If the legislation is passed before the President goes to Glasgow then it will give the Biden Oval a victory to compare to the New Deal and the Great Society.  The Democrats need something to sell, thus they can sell policies that are popular on their own when polled.  Also it will help the Democrats in the 2022 Mid Terms.  Thus a good week for POTUS.  The Democrats have not worked out how to pay for their Agenda yet, there is the talk that billionaires will be taxed, of course the very clever billionaires will just find a way to not pay or pass the costs over to their customers.   In the end the Middle Class will be shafted, as the tax burden will fall on them,  they do not have any real influence on the HILL, no matter what the Democrats say, so here we have another TAX AND SPEDND LIBERAL PRESIDENT, they never learn these liberals. Reagan in his diaries placed the blame on LBJ and his Great Society for the debt of the US Government at the time.  As always the Gipper was right. 

EU not going far enough on the Northern Ireland Protocol - Lord Frost - After Brexit

Sky News: Reports " EU proposals on Northern Ireland Protocol 'don't go far enough', Lord Frost tells MPs...."I'm not sure they would quite deliver the kind of ambitious freeing-up of trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland that we want to see," the Brexit minister tells MPs. "

Lets Get Real:

The EU has given somewhat from their absolute position, are we seeing real problems or just the fanfare before a DEAL.   The Daily Mail reported that the PM would cave and allow the ECJ to stay while creating a Independent arbitration mechanism, should there be any problems between the UK and the EU.  It is reported that Lord Frost has stated that the PM is tougher on this than him, so could there be a TRADE WAR if the UK invokes Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol that suspends parts that are causing problems. It is hard to say for sure, each sides wants to push each other to its red lines.  There will be more talks this week. 

Living Wage UP - After Brexit

BBC News: Reports " Workers on the minimum wage are set to get a pay boost from April, with the rate for those aged over 23 rising to £9.50 an hour from £8.91 currently.....It also follows the government's - and particularly the prime minister's - narrative of pushing towards a higher-wage economy.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a good move by the PM, one can almost say that its go generous, it will small business that will take the hit, big companies can pass on the price rise to their customers.  IF your a small business, you have to undercut the opposition to you, this hike will need to be passed somehow, as the article notes Labour are not happy, they wanted the living wage increase further, do they think money grows on a magic tree.   The PM is outflanking Labour on the left, and Sir Keir Starmer the LABOUR LEADER can hardly go to the right, he could not even say Tony Blair's name at the recent Party Conference, the leader who won three straight elections for LABOUR.  It will make people want to go back to work if they can, thus a good move by the Government and then next year before the election we can have TAX CUTS, and cuts in other areas.  Good Day if your a Conservative supporter.

POTUS on Taiwan Defence - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " President Joe Biden said the US would defend Taiwan if China attacked, in an apparent departure from a long-held US foreign policy position.  "

Lets Get Real:

What part of ambiguity does POTUS not understand, the Chinese Government should be kept off keel when it comes to Taiwan, it should not know what the US would do if it attacked Taiwan, this ambiguity has been US policy for YEARS, anything different causes tensions, we have had that already with the Aukus Security deal, China sees that as a threat by the fact that the UK and the US will give Australia nuclear subs.  As the article notes the White House had to walk back the remarks by the President, not for the first time.  One would think that this breaking news would be the LEAD on CNN, but no its kissing the backside of Biden Oval, saying what LIBERALS want to hear when it comes to filibuster, Biden has no power to anything in the Senate without 50 votes and the two holdouts so far have stated they want to keep the filibuster as is.  CNN is really going like the old Soviet Pravda, I think they were more critical of the Soviet Government, CNN really has to re - learn its a NEWS Channel, not a outlet for LIBERAL dreams.
