Why would we have to agree to EU regulations, if we are not in the EU?
I know that negotiations need to happen, but I can't see them being negative. It benefits us and the EU to work out a good deal.
Because if we do a deal that means we agree to something in order to get something in return. It depends on how badly we need something or how badly the EU wants something from us. The signs are that we will probably have to compromise on some things. But we don't know yet. For example: We agree to some US enviromental regulations in order to be able to sell cars in the US, but we are not members of the US.
depends who you believe:FTSE close to 7,000; FX stabilised; retail sales up; unemployment down.
It's still early days and this Moody's forecast speculative but rumours of the UK's death appear to have been exaggerated.

personally I don't think the powers that be will actually let us leave.....
The EU elite have quite a track record of riding roughshod over the democratic results of sovereign nations......
...just ask the French, Dutch, Irish etc.

personally, I'm going to wait until we've actually left the EU to judge the effects.
the indie is moving more to the right every day, when your circulations plummeting and you become more reliant on advertising it's amazing how principles go out of the window.Banks have a vested interested in leave doom mongering tbf. Funny how the Indie is now parroting lines from banks.

Look at the mail, always took a fairly puritanical stance, it's online addition could be confused for a lads mag.

I saw your post and then saw the article was by the Independent and chuckled to myself.
Absolutely nothing against you at all, but that newspaper has been a filthy disease during and since the referendum. They could write a story on a cat that got stuck up a tree and still find some way of blaming Brexit.
but people would say the same about the telegraph, my point, which I think you've missed is, until we actually leave, saying brexit has caused this or that, whether positive or negative, is all conjecture.
Roughly 50% of staff where I work have been told they are being made redundant due to uncertainly following the brexit vote so I don't think its really just wait and see what happens.but people would say the same about the telegraph, my point, which I think you've missed is, until we actually leave, saying brexit has caused this or that, whether positive or negative, is all conjecture.
that's pretty staggering. What industry are you in?Roughly 50% of staff where I work have been told they are being made redundant due to uncertainly following the brexit vote so I don't think its really just wait and see what happens.

Partially; I certainly wouldn't draw any conclusions until 2 years after we have left as that's when we'll have had time to see the effects - although of course we'll never know what might have been had the opposite happened.
What we can judge from this is the effect on sentiment - and that doesn't seem to be anything close to what was threatened.
A lot of companies seem to be taking Advantage of this moment to get rid of staff most had planned it anyway but now they have an excuse.
Because these things don't generally happen overnight.How do you know that 'most had planned it anyway'? Or did you just make that up?

i totally agree, but it works the other way, for example, leavers trying to say that the recent drop in unemployment was a result of the brexit vote when it had absolutely nothing to do with it.Look at 'Low Cost Holidays'.
A multi-million pound company does not go into liquidation overnight. It was hemorrhaging money for a long time.
Oh well, Brexit comes along, two weeks later 'sorry we can't take you on holiday, Brexit killed us.'
It was a poorly run company that found an easy excuse. They're not the only ones either, which loops back to martcov's point.
The real test of sentiment will come with the activating of article 50. Until then, the longer it goes on, the less worried people will become. There is no panic at the moment as nothing has actually happened. Do you mean 2 years after we have left - which may take many years, or 2 years after we have triggered article 50?

Actually there's plenty of panic and it's happening in Brussels.
The EU dictators are frantically trying to figure out how they can continue to run their bloated, self serving machine without the billions contributed by the UK.
They're already suggesting that Germany will need to bung another 3 billion euros annually into the EU pot. That'll go down well.
Then France, Italy, Netherlands will get their arms twisted for a few extra billion.
Good luck with that one.
I'm having a couple of weeks off work and we have decided to stay in England (we always go abroad) and do a road trip, we set off on Sunday and have been to Lytham St Anns, Blackpool, Morecome and up to the Lake district, we have just returned back to Coventry today as we have a family wedding on Saturday then we are off again down south on Sunday to Portsmouth, Hayling Island, Weymouth and Dorset. Anyway, everywhere we went was packed with people spending money and choosing to stay here rather than go abroad due to the exchange rate. We spoke to a guy who owns a hotel, bar and restaurant and he said he is having his best season since 2003 and so are many of his competitors.
Up in the lakes it is packed with foreign tourists (and natives) as they are taking advantage of the exchange rate, now, this may be a short lived thing but at the moment this very important part of our economy is booming.
Footnote: We visited Levens Hall at it is amazing, well worth the journey.
