Aaah thank you.Geoffrey Cox was the previous AG, and he replaced Jeremy Wright, who replaced Grieve.

The lawyers in the AG department will have written the text, under instruction from her Private Office, and she would have signed off on the final copy, having requested changes where she felt they were necessary to make. Ultimately she is responsible for the final text.She wouldn't have written this herself though, would she? Isn't this what she'd have expert staff for at her department?
A first year student that didn't bother studying.All the lawyers on Twitter are going mad about this comparing it to a first years students paper.
Of course she is - I'm not disputing that. What I was getting at, is that either there is a lot of crap in her department, or she got good advice but she and her political staff completely went against that. I guess I'm being too technical on procedure here.

Down to 1.079 now. Crashing hard currently.Pound down to €1.09 = £1. Johnson trying to make it worthless even before the end of the transition period.
I hope someone is watching currency trading by ministers, their friends and tory donorsDown to 1.079 now. Crashing hard currently.
Think it’ll be at 1:1 by December, then possibly weaker than the Euro by January.I hope someone is watching currency trading by ministers, their friends and tory donors

Technically its a boost to exporters I guessPound's nearly reached €1.08. Can Johnson do it. Is parity the objective or lower?
In theory but in practice the UK have to import products to make the exports and are vastly net importers anyway.Technically its a boost to exporters I guess
We are outside the EU but their level playing field rules still apply to us if we wish to sell our goods to EU customers tariff free, because they won't allow us to do it in illegal, damaging or manipulative ways according to their definitions. It's their market, not ours.Agreed, but not quite sure why you keep going on about the EU's level playing field since we are now outside that playing field and must look at life differently, this will of course influence what will be required to 'sell into' the EU in future. As will the EU countries that wish to 'sell in to us' realize they will need to look at life differently as well.
You a kilt twirler? Nice one lad*Cries in Jock*
Funny how you try to frame this absolute clusterfeck as following EU traditions when the UK has contributed 95% of this mess we are in.Eu say they they will give us to the end of the month to withdraw the legistlation
EU leaders conference on 24th September
Just enough time for both sides to agree some fudge and the EU to say we backed down whilst boris saying he secured the deal he wanted and then withdraw the legistlation
Im still thinking a deal will be done though in the best Eu traditions they are leaving it very late and that does run the very real risk of something going wrong

I'm constantly moody and I hate Cornish pasties, so yes I'm Scottish. But I also have a fair bit of English blood so I can also do things like eat vegetables and spel things corectly.You a kilt twirler? Nice one lad
Actually you might be onto something there. They may have decided a deal itself without adversity wouldn't play well for Boris so they're setting up a posturing manoeuvre they can claim won the day.Eu say they they will give us to the end of the month to withdraw the legistlation

I feel like these aren't mutually exclusive.Actually you might be onto something there. They may have decided a deal itself without adversity wouldn't play well for Boris so they're setting up a posturing manoeuvre they can claim won the day.
It's not like they haven't done this before and it's right out of Trumps playbook. However I'm still going with a lack of competency for now.

Whenever the government give numbers like this I always look to see if they mean per year or over a ten year period.From The Independent....https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/uk-japan-trade-deal-brexit-agreement-eu-b421841.html
'The government said businesses will benefit from tariff-free trade on 99 per cent of exports to Japan, delivering a £1.5bn boost to the UK, claiming manufacturers, food and drink producers and the tech sector will see the greatest benefits'.
£1.5bn

To put it into perspective Unilever sell £1.5bn per month of beauty and care products alone.

Apparently it will increase GDP by 0.07%. But we are estimated to lose 7.6% of GDP in a no deal Brexit.from your link..." Department for Trade figures reveal that, in 2018, the UK's trade with the EU was worth £659.5bn while trade with Japan was worth £29.1bn. "
The future looks bright for the UK.
