Has the new budget been agreed yet?
Yet how much is spunked up the wall by the EU?
Remember when they said they could make savings to make up the shortfall in our contributions?
Which has protected us thus far ???? No it hasn't the Far East steal intellectual property, copy products at will, manipulate currency, exploit their own people and transport their goods round the world with complete impunity.......whilst protecting their own markets where they can. Love him or loath him, it's only Donald Trump who has actually stood up to them.Which is why we need to be in a trading bloc.
I agree with some of what you say but the government is only taking so much from all tax receipts......and that is with high employment at the moment..........but still it spends more than it takes. If we spend more now, it increases the debt and in the future that debt repayment will mean even less to spend for future governments. Whilst extreme poverty shouldn't be tolerated in a Western Nation like the UK, I do still think that many people need to start lowering their expectations for life. When I was younger in the 1970's/80's we never had a lot at all but then neither did our friends and friends parents as a rule so there wasn't the culture of envy we seem to have today...... a lot of which is spread around social media etc.
If there is a way of taxing the super rich, then I'm all for it but as we all know, they have the knack of tax avoidance under any government and seem to just get richer every year.

As long as they look at what they waste money on. Or even where and who the money goes to.I never trust anybody who comes up with the vague 'efficiency savings' as a solution. That usually equals 'cuts'.
If you tax the rich too much they will just pay tax elsewhere.I agree with some of what you say but the government is only taking so much from all tax receipts......and that is with high employment at the moment..........but still it spends more than it takes.

It's just been talk, the Chinese listen, walk away and carry on with their own dangerous expansionist plans, whilst encouraging it's 1.3 billion people to take care of their own. All the while spending a large budget on their military I might add. By not standing up to them we are funding our foe of the future. The UK and Europe has become a warehouse for their products and that might satisfy a few managers but actually only provides warehouse and distribution type low paid jobs for many.It has to do with WTO rules.
„
I further explained that China, the US and the EU countries are members of the WTO, and are obliged to follow its practices. We expect the US and China to tackle their differences on that basis. Since the mid-20th century, the EU has firmly contributed to internationally agreed rules and institutions together with the US. We believe in the strength and validity of those mechanisms. The EU is working hard to create a level playing field for all countries and reciprocity is crucial to create that, I underlined.“
This is a quote from a report on the EU China summit last year. The EU is putting pressure on China. They don’t want to wreck the EU economy by gobbing off and starting a trade war though. The UK sent an aircraft carrier which pissed the Chinese off.
Trump has damaged his economy through his actions and created uncertainty in the world economy.
China may well end up listening to the EU which is a major market for them. The EU wants reciprocity to open up the Chinese market to EU firms.

What does everyone reckon then, are TM and Corbyn going to agree a deal?
Im not to sure they will
It is likely though that may will give in to JCNo. 3 years of Tory failure will no doubt be blamed on labour though.

She has wrote a letter to her party saying the only way to get a deal through is with their support! She's desperateTo be fair she promptly dropped large parts of her own manifesto five minutes after being elected and adopted large parts of Labours manifesto so anything is possible. Can’t see it happening on this issue though.
An enigma Boris Johnson. Something Trump-like about him.Boris has walked out of PMQ’s apparently. I wonder if he’ll do the country a favour and keep walking?
Nearer 1/7th actually but yes still big numbers. Although I might add current figures suggest the UK population density is 704 per Sq Mile against China's 375 per Sq mile !!Yes, but the UK has already been fined by the EU and asked to repay the tariffs on Chinese goods that they didn’t collect. It doesn’t help the EU‘s case when members allow goods through without collecting the right tariffs.
The Chinese are building a land route through to Europe. There may be a way of applying pressure on them to allow that to work. Who knows? But China is nearly a quarter of the world population as opposed to 500 million in the EU. Maybe the EU and USA can apply pressure, but how do you see the UKs chances as a distressed trading partner with 65 million population?
I think we will have no say. They have already cancelled meetings because of us sending a ship. We have do as they say.
An enigma Boris Johnson. Something Trump-like about him.
Struggle to see why he's popular and with whom but he seems to be.
Nobody really knows what he stands for as he does like a U-turn.
Like trump is he eccentric or bordering on some sort of psychological disorder? Does he play the clown just for effect?

There's no reason why they should since May's hands have now been tied by parliament and she is no longer in a position to negotiate.The EU aren’t renegotiating her deal again anyway.
Fucking idiot! It's a trap!
May isn’t smart enough to set a trap. I despise the woman, she’s weak, utterly incompetent and out of her depth plus she’s a liar. She will be remembered as the PM who betrayed the biggest vote in our history and allowed this country to be humiliated by idiots like Tusk and Juncker.
Her woefully weak leadership has created massive splits in her party and now to cap it all she turns to Comrade Corbyn for talks which will legitimise and give credence to him and his vile politics.
Unless one of the 27 refuses an extension and there’s virtually no chance of that, this Brexit battle is lost.
I now hope that Remainers go ahead and revoke Article 50 or have their loaded-question-Remain-win ‘peoples vote’ and then we can start it all again in a couple of years when we have a Parliament that reflects the views of the electorate and a leader who wants to leave and knows how to negotiate.

The split has been there for 45 years or more. It isn't new.The split was already there. That’s how we ended up having the referendum in the first place. It was supposed to settle the split, the reality is it’s just got wider.
The irony here is that Tusk and Junker have behaved exactly as the leave campaign argued as a reason to vote leave. On that basis it’s self humiliation. The idiots are those that campaigned for leave on that argument as clearly they didn’t believe their own arguments. It’s time these idiots and those gullible enough to believe them take an opportunity for self reflection. They’ve got exactly what they campaigned and voted for and are now playing the victim.

As well you know , I was referring to our burgeoning population being very worryingAre you saying that we would have a chance of getting a great deal out of China on our own?

Any party will have a say in the next general elections, even UKIP could help win a majority as lots of people are going to not vote for the main partiesConsidering that the only reasons we had a referendum was to stop the Tory party arguing amongst itself, and to stop UKIP taking it’s support, it hasn’t gone too well has it?
