UK determined to retain eurozone clearing after Brexit – Davi
"Senior European officials, including the French government, have warned the City of London will lose its role as a hub for eurozone clearing activities following a failed case by the European Central Bank to repatriate clearing to the single currency area last year.
But speaking to MPs in the House of Commons on Thursday, David Davis said retaining clearing would form a key part of its exit talks with Brussels."

How will our economy and quality of life improve? And how long is a while? A year? Ten years?

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Dislike and mistrust of the EU is not a uniquely british thing nor is the desire to leave by growing numbers in many EU states people have had enough. They are tired of badly thought out and implemented expansion, they are tired of the EU's inability to respond rapidly to changing circumstances and the real effect they have on the citizenry. Right now the EU is hanging by a thread and it's continuing to fray so the way some talk as though our exit negotiations are a case of us having to take what the EU offers is rubbish.
Whilst there may be some brexit supporters that were stupid enough to believe it was all going to be painless and we'd get everything we wanted i very much doubt they represent even a minority of the total that voted to leave. Nor do i believe a large number of leave voters did so because of the campaign run by vote leave it was a complete shambles bordering on comedy at best and pathetic at worst. Most people voted leave because of their own experiences of being in the EU club my vote was decided before the campaigns started and i did my best to avoid the campaigns. I didn't trust a word out of Boris's mouth as it was clear the nations best interest wasn't his primary concern, but this ripping each other apart has to stop and both sides need to grow up and start respecting each other and stop tryingvto constantly insult or belittle each other.
In or out of the EU the UK was going to face problems which one will cause greater damage longterm none of us know for certain there are no experts on this because this hasn't happened before and no one really believed the vote woukd be to leave which is the main reason remain lost. My biggest reason if i had to pick just one for why i voted leave was because i mistrust the EU they don't tell the truth about where the grand plan ends and rarely divulge muchbof any substance unless they have no choice.
It's time to come together get behind the process and work together to make the best of it that we can for the good of the country and ourselves as right now the fractious infighting is doing positive and achieving nothing at all. The know it alls on both sides need to step back and let things calm down so we can proceed in a better way.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
How will our economy and quality of life improve being shackled to the EU and all it's massive problems? How long will it take for that to get sorted out? Just interested in why some people seem to be unable to see just how bad things over there are and why they'd want to be part of it.
It's all very well having doubts about the UK's economy but where's the EU heading?

Amen to that and if the EU is so unwilling to compromise as a result of something as important as this why on Earth would anyone want to be stuck with that? Why would anyone have any faith in where the EU's going? Someone please tell me why we should have confidence in the Eurocrats and their single-minded vision of the future?

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Because presumably the remainers think that is a price worth paying to ensure our current economical model stays as it is.

That's a stupid question. How old are you? Five? "are we nearly there yet?"
However, personally, I'd say about 5 years till we get back to normal......that's a guess obviously.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
For those interested in how scrapping EU tariffs in the event of a hard Brexit could affect the prices of goods there's a useful guide here of EU tariff levels.
For example the EU puts 35% on all imported wine from outside the EU so while leaving might make French wine more exepensive, American and new world wines are likely to face smaller or zero tariff in the UK as we don't need to keep an indigineous industry happy. Same applies to shoes and textiles. The EU applies levels upto 100% on some goods.
If we scrapped many of the tariffs much of our imported foodstuffs that we cannot grow here will become cheaper.

Cheaper and bigger perhaps, brexit might not be so bad after all and I'm sure we're all grateful to Dave knuckles grandfathers for their sacrifice in the pursuit of bigger biscuits, they gave their yesterday's for our tomorrow's coffee morning or something like that

The head of Virgin Media has warned of dire consequences for the telco given the climate of Brexit uncertainty.
On the day prime minister Teresa May meets her EU counterparts in Brussels, following the outcome of the UK referendum vote, Virgin Media CEO Tom Mockridge warned the Tory leader that businesses needed certainty.
