Westministenders: Transition

Last thread opener, it was all about the government buzz word being shown to listen at every opportunity.

Now transition is creeping in as people realise that no we can't just do a settlement, arrange a new trade deal with the EU and have a whole host of other deals in place in two years.

Who'd have thought.

We will be getting Brexit because we give in to threats of terrorism. Not quite getting how that takes back control.

But Brexit will be good. It will be glorious. And in the long term we will be better off for it.

Er ok.

Thank you so much Red for another thread ,especially when you aren't well. I hope you feel better soon.

I just listened to about 45 minutes of David Davis's evidence to the Lords EU committee on Brexit. That man uses lots of annoying fill words which makes him very hard to follow. This is what he said on transition. I have edited his waffle into a concise version below. 

^"What has been conflated, I think, a little bit, has been the approach to the implementation stage, or the transition phase - use the phrase you like. Yes, I believe we can get a free trade negotiation concluded, and a customs agreement negotiation concluded, in the period. What will be much more difficult, however, is to get all the practical implementations that go with it. Not so much for us; it will be quite tough to get our customs in the right place in two years, but it’s doable. But to get the French customs in the same place in two years, or the Belgian or the Dutch customs, I think is a different issue. That’s why a transitional period [may be necessary.] 
So it’s a whole series of practicalities. And what people are doing, I think, is misinterpreting a statement saying ‘We might have to do something in [the] transition period’ as being an abandonment of the original aim."

[The approach to the transition phase has been conflated. We can get a free trade and a customs agreement negotiation concluded in the two year period. It will be difficult to get all the practical implementations concluded within two year, for example customs. We can fo it, but to get the French, Belgian or the Dutch customs sorted may require a transitional period.

Peregrina - well, a week's a long time in politics so....

prettybird · 11/07/2017 22:54

So David Davis illustrated both arrogant English superiority in that he says "we can do it in the timescale but the other countries can't so we might need a transition period" and rose-tinted spectacles in that the government still hasn't done any preparatory work for the customs procedures required at the ports. Hmm

Shameless place mat again Smile

Thanks for the new thread and get well soon red Flowers

I heard the crap that Viscount was spouting about Gina Miller Shock. Possibly some of the most vile racist guff I've ever heard (I think I lead a sheltered life).
Then there was the comments (woodpile related) from that Tory MP. This country is getting really scary.

Bojo answerring questions as Foreign Sec in the HoC:

the government had “no plan for no deal” because of its confidence over securing a strong Brexit settlement with the bloc.

Tory sceptic Philip Hollobone:
“Will you make it clear to the EU that if they want a penny piece more then they can go whistle?”

Johnson replied:
“I’m sure that your words will have broken like a thunderclap over Brussels Hmm Grin and they will pay attention to what you have said"
< Barnier is of course cowering behind his desk right now Grin >

"He makes a very valid point and I think that the sums that I have seen that they propose to demand from this country seem to me to be extortionate and I think ‘to go whistle’ is an entirely appropriate expression.”
< that's our Foreign Sec, dignified & respectful to those with whom we are negotiating ? Confused >

Ryanair boss: ‘No flights’ between UK and EU after Brexit

Flights between the UK and the European Union will be cancelled for months after Brexit, unless replacements for EU airline agreements are struck before Britain leaves the bloc, Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary told the European Parliament yesterday.

Heathrow will be deserted, summer holidays cancelled and Ryanair aircraft moved to Europe, Mr O’Leary, who insisted the sensible decision would be to ignore the referendum result, said

Someone misses the point entirely

Simon Phillips @ SimonPhillipsuk
#Ryanair boss: ‘No flights’ between UK and EU after Brexit. Bc that'll really hurt us!!

Liana Murphy @ lianamurphy
Oh dear how sad never mind. There's always Easyjet Michael and if not, then we'll wait. No probs for most of us who fly budget...

Steve Peers @ StevePeers
Point is all flights to EU could face legal barriers...govt hasn't mentioned simple solution of joining Euro Aviation Area (goes beyond EU)

So Open Skies goes with EU membership. But there's this other thing we could join called Euro Aviation Area?

And apparently no Brit has suggested this?

Maybe there is an obvious problem why, apart from the one about the government being clueless. I'll spell out why British politicians might not want to talk about joining a new scheme.

E - u - r - o Aviation Area

Remember the light bulbs that persuaded people to vote leave?

The UK used the EU to implement a ban it wanted and led.

lonely I read the summary of DD's whafflings this morning on line and thought "I wonder whether all those manufacturers who rely on just-in-time cross-border supply chains are reading this. And I wonder whether they are having the numbers crunched on costs of delays and tariffs versus costs of moving production out of the UK and/or no longer sourcing supplies from the UK."

If they haven't already done so, of course.

Thanks RTB for new thread, and hope you're feeling better!
