Keir Starmer is hinting that Britain could adopt single market rules without MPs’ vote as part of UK-EU reset and i am more than happy with that although i hold my hands up on grounds of hypocrisy as i would be spitting feathers if it was the other way round.
If Donald Trump has been good for one thing (other than protecting pedophiles in the USA), then it is for pushing us back towards our European neighbours and Labour Ministers are planning to fundamentally reshape Britain’s relationship with the European Union, with new legislation that could result in the UK signing up to EU single market rules without a normal parliamentary vote.
It is undeniable that coming out was economic madness as the trade deals around the World we were promised failed to materialise leaving our GDP 4% worse off and Ministers are arguing that the move which is expected to be launched before the Summer recess, will add billions to the UK economy, help temper the cost of the conflict and boost sluggish productivity.
The move is possible under so-called Henry VIII powers, named after the 1539 law that allowed the monarch to rule by decree, which allow ministers to approve laws without full scrutiny from parliament using secondary legislation which enforces laws without needing new Parliamentary acts although it will need to be rubber stamped in Parliament and with a stonking majority of 174, that's just a formality .
Ministers are saying the move will promote trade without breaking the government’s promise to not rejoining the customs union, single market, or returning to freedom of movement which even I find a bit of a stretch but what the hey, the Right Wing numbnuts have been doing enough damage recently so up there's as the saying goes.
'The EU is our largest trading market, almost half of our total trade was with the EU in 2024' explained one Minister, 'We’re all paying a cost of living penalty for all the barriers at the border, so it is sensible to make deals to remove those barriers and undo the damage' which all makes sense but maybe it would be better to re-run the Referendum and get the agreement of the British public but if they have to be sneaky about it, i'm surprisingly okay with that also.

1. it isn't undeniable. acting as if one action was the cause of the uk's economic problems is an ideological viewpoint - meaning misleading and naive.
ReplyDelete2. NATO is dead - meaning the US will stop defending european nations. allies still? sure, but you have to pay your own way now and provide your own troops. not allowing the US to use airspace and bases (that we paid for ) was a big mistake. made trump look bad, but upcoming military and intelligence leaders will remember...
3. uk, germany, france, spain, portugal, italy, and netherlands (dutch) set the global standard for brutality. without the US present to make you behave like adults it seems likely that you euros will return to your old brutal ways; after all, the same geopolitical dynamics still exist.
4. without the US to defend and subsidize european nations, france will cut deals good for france, germany will cut deals good for germany, etc. the foundations are shaking... trouble is coming. running back to the EU is not going to help.
only one thing can save the uk from worsening mediocrity, aligning with the US. but that requires the uk to acknowledge that it is a second class, inferior nation to the US... i don't think you tea drinkers have the capacity to do that...
1. Undeniable that it lost 4% of gdp.
ReplyDelete2. I have said before what is the point of NATO so I won’t cry over it ending, good riddance.
3. No argument over this, Europeans were awful.
4. I refer you to point 1.
As if anyone is going to want to get into bed with America now. Even Canada are looking our way to make deals and cutting you out.
1. nobody can prove that the one action of withdrawing from the eu caused the 4% gdp loss. why? because there were likely hundreds of minor reasons and dozens of major reasons (uk tax policy, over regulation, global conditions, price of oil, covid, etc.). any economist that says such a thing should be required to return their degree, stripped of their job, and forced to dress like a jester for a month and walk in public repeating "i am a moron'.
ReplyDelete2. indeed what is the point of nato now? it was created by the US to keep the ussr at bay while we helped europe rebuild (into the world's largest "single market" bah ha ha ha).
surely you were taught what the soviets did to poland, half of germany, several baltic nations, and a bunch of nations now called whateverstan? so, once again. your are welcome you sorry ungrateful bastards.
you europeans have been the worst abusers (socialists/communists a close second) since about 1500. and that isn't counting rome. hell, yawl started 2 world wars in the past 100 years alone. its only been under the reign of the US that the world has seen the stop to european destruction. how many deaths were yawl responsible for? 125 million?
- wiped out most of south american natives (spain).
- ditto north america (spain, uk, france).
- made slavery a global trade (brits, dutch, french).
- suppression of india and pakistan (brits)
- suppression of africa (uk, france, netherlands)
- suppression of the middle east (uk, france)
- ww1 (20 million - and 13 million were civilians)
- ww2 (75 million...)
and that's not treating russia as if it is european...
shit, yawl are some brutal mf's.
remaining on the topic of europeans, the US had to get involved in the middle east because you euros needed oil but couldn't use your might to repress the arabs and persians anymore... we got in vietnam because US democrats that never served in the military were war mongers and because the french withdrew from their asian colonies...
yeah the US really had to do a lot to clean up european shit... yawl suck. we are still cleaning up your mess - because it takes a lot longer than 70 years to undo centuries of abuse...
4. you don't seem to understand the impact of EU nations doing their own thing. that stirs rivalries driven by geopolitical pressures that still remain, but were subdued by the US...
love my coffee, it helps reveal truth
Strong coffee is it? Very Strong Coffee? Drink a lot of it do you?
