The UK's EU Referendum - 23rd June 2016., by Daniel Silk on Sept 27, 2016 9:30:06 GMT 1, Seems like the UK Government is working hard on organising trade deal arrangements, but of course they can't actually sign anything before leaving the EU, so I wonder if the plan is get get them all ready then early next year give the EU a weeks notice! As far as I can tell the UK doesn't need to go down the Article 50 path, so maybe it could be done with a week or two notice and the trade deals all signed in a few weeks after A fast change would be better for the markets and I think the EU would also prefer it rather than a long two year withdrawal.

What is your source for suggesting the uk is close to agreeing trade deals?

Rest assured, your government is doing great things for you.
Gotta love the simple Cold War rhetoric though...
The very few facts, transpriring from the UK government, seem to show that nothing has really moved or even been set in action. May has kindly disavowed and shut up her own crew when they suggested otherwise. But Brexit is Brexit, so rest assured etc etc...
In the meanwhile, the rhetoric from much of the press worldwide, regardless of political flavoring, seems to be something along the lines of "no sign of the British negotiatiors yet, we await your suggestions".
To be honest, whatever your stance on Brexit, I don't see how you can conclude that any kind of plan is in action

I have seen in the news about deals already being prepared with Australia, Canada, and the foreign news media and foreign government information agencies I follow have lots of talk of UK trade ministers visiting to agree trade deals.
I don't profess to be an expert of any sort. However I do believe that there is a vast difference between trade delegations and expressions of desire to enter a trade deal and actually concluding the negotiations relating to one. I believe the later can take many months, at best.
I am always prepared to admit that I was wrong. The fallout from the vote, in particular relating to the economy has not been anywhere near as bad as I feared. I am very pleased about that. The reality is that we are talking about people's jobs. The fallout in some other respects has been more concerning, in particular the rise in hate crimes. I do hope that that is only temporary. There remain gloomy predictions about the future of the economy post actual brexit. I hope they are wrong. But I do worry about the financial and services sectors, if only because that (I believe) accounts for 80% of our economy and so a major downturn there would severely affect tax income and consequently spending on services. But again, I genuinely hope these fears are ill founded.

That does suggest that any assertion that we will serve a weeks notice early next year, and sign trade deals a few weeks later is somewhat optimistic, to put it mildly.

Our new crap exchange rate may even of helped businesses who sell abroad... but bad for the man in the street looking at higher prices for imported goods (most stuff) and his spending money on holiday.

We can. But if we want proper services we will have to accept an increase in taxes. Take the nhs. We have a growing population and moreover an aging one. If we want the nhs to offer the same service that it has in the past, we will have to pay more for it. Otherwise we will continue to see it struggle to cope and eventually it will start to fail. I would be happy to see increased taxes in return for better services and a fairer society.

Growth in a developed country will never be able to match the growth of developing countries. You aren't comparing like with like. No need to be concerned about that.

Yes you're right that is one way of raising the funds. I guess the issue is tightening up loop holes in the law that incentivises tax avoidance schemes to ensure that if taxes go up we all contribute more. I would be happy with that. A Donald trump style avoidance in the uk would make me furious.

Yes that's what I mean. I would be happy for an increase in income tax so long as we are all in it together. What I am conscious of is people who use loopholes to avoid paying this.

The UK's EU Referendum - 23rd June 2016., by Coach on Nov 3, 2016 11:44:01 GMT 1, Hugely important constitutional case heard by the Divisional Court today. Application has been upheld. The government cannot invoke Article 50 without a vote and approval by parliament. Reason appears to be based (in part) on the fact the referendum is advisory, and therefore, I assume, cannot override parliamentary sovereignty. I understand that leave to appeal has been granted.
