Stolen fron the Guardian...

 

'I'm guessing no one listened to Farming Today this week where, amongst other nuggets

 

1. The govts replacement scheme for the CAP has been delayed and will not be in place until 2023, and in the meantime a temporary system that will exactly follow the CAP will be in place

 

2. The new ELMs (Environment Landuse Measures I think) that will apportion out 'public money for public good' payments will not be in place until 2026

 

3. Some of the ELM measures are proving too challenging for smaller farmers so are being dropped.

 

Brexit in a nutshell. Promises broken, targets undelivered, standards diluted, nothing in place despite 54 months' notice, and the target workforce has no structure nor plan to work towards.'

 

The tip of a very big iceburg.

+UPDATE+

Ford will shut its Bridgend factory after 40 years this week with thousands of direct & indirect job losses as UK leaves the Single Market this January.

The Bridgend constituency voted in a Conservative MP for the 1st time in decades 9 months ago to: "Get Brexit Done".

Who needs jobs.

Sunlit uplands, all the way!

Trade will be a “day-to day struggle” after Brexit is completed, MPs have been told, in a bleak forecast from the key aerospace, chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries.

 

The inquiry heard of massive extra costs, a mountain of red tape, shrinking investment and chemicals “disappearing” from the UK market, from January...

 

Some medicines may not reach Northern Ireland – if, as feared, extra tests will be required – although it was “very important that patients don’t panic”, it was told.

 

‘Those facilities [for testing] don’t exist, so it’s not clear how it will happen,” warned Richard Torbett, chief executive of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry.

 

Neil Hollis, of the chemical giant BASF, highlighted £1bn of new registration costs, a loss of innovation and some chemicals no longer being available, adding: “There's no positive spin on this.”

 

And Paul Everitt, chief executive of the ADS Group, the aerospace trade organisation, said: “Whatever happens now, we will be involved in a day-to-day struggle to ensure the goods that we need to see flowing across our borders.”

 

He said: “It will happen at whatever cost it has to bear – but that obviously shapes and impacts on people’s future investment plans. It’s not a happy place for us to be.”

 

None of the three witnesses could state a reason for welcoming the end of the transition period, on 31 December, when challenged by Hilary Benn, the Brexit committee’s chairman.

In case Gnasher is inclined to smirk at these horrible capitalist bastards squirming at the prospect of Brexit, there is less than zero percent chance that the rich will bear the brunt of the shitstorm heading our way.  This mess will be paid for in job losses, wage cuts, increased prices and general fuckery for working class people.

This is amazing, the new Tory line is that the ‘oven ready’ deal was not what people voted for, but the the oven ready part was the taking back control of our sovereignty. So Alex didn’t lie and it’s the pesky EU forrins not giving us the deal we want.
 

Fucking hell, that’s some gaslighting.

 

James Cleverly is on BBC now parroting this and the ‘fact’ that the IMB doesn’t actually break international law.

 

Mad.

Seems on the biggest issue of all the eu is failing.

 

I'd put the main issues of the mo as Climate change, Wealth inequality and modern day slavery.  My view is the eu has/is failing on all three.

Is the UK any better? No, but still, not the point.

Correct.

 

I'd argue that on all three, international action is required  (and that the EU provides a framework for international action).

 

On all three I'd mark the EU as "Could do better" and the UK as "Couldn’t be arsed trying to do better".
