Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !

The FT has today published an interview with Wilbur Ross, US secretary of commerce. The article confirmed that the US-UK deal bilateral deal "was quickly put on hold because of the questions raised by Brexit."
In terms of priorities:
Quote:
But Mr Ross said the US’s first trade priority was renegotiating Nafta, the two decades-old agreement with Canada and Mexico that the president has called a “disaster” for the US economy. He also warned Washington wanted quick wins and was now trying to assess who among China, Japan and the EU was best placed to deliver that.

It's on hold anyway, as we are still in that pile of garbage, we cannot cement any trade deal.

This BS that the UK is back of the queue again for US trade, is nothing but negative spin. Was only other day, Paul Ryan said US is ready to start trade talks ASAP.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !

Exactly and this negative spin on things is getting really tiresome no one can say any official talks on trade have begun with the UK because of article 50 that's not to say there isn't a great deal of unofficial talks taking place with many countries. The next couple of years are going to be hard because of the limitations article 50 imposes on us and that's pretty much the purpose of article 50 to wear down a population that wants out so they are more willing in future to reconsider the EU. When we come out of this two year tunnel the future will be a lot brighter and prosperous for the UK.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !

As you say Rizzy, there's nothing wrong with unofficial talks and deals being agreed once A50 has been concluded.

The paperwork can be on the table ready to be signed.

No, no, no! The EU will forbid it and stamp their little feet and refuse to sell us their stuff if we dare to defy them...

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !

Given the EU and their supporters are turning a blind eye to france and germany trying to grab chunks of our service sector which they are not supposed to be doing i say screw article 50 and the EU and do what we want. I see no practical benefit in being the side that sticks to the rules when the organisation that made the rules doesn't enforce them.

Which parts of our service sector are France and Germany not allowed to be involved in?

And if things weren't bad enough from remoaners we now have this.

Quote:
Open Britain has drawn up an “attack list” of 20 seats, held mostly by Conservative MPs, where constituents voted to stay in the EU but their representatives are Brexit supporters.

Open Britain hopes to mobilise the half a million supporters it has on its database to oust them.
They're never going to give up!

Where does it say that?;

Quote:
Article 50

1. Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements.

2. A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention. In the light of the guidelines provided by the European Council, the Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. That agreement shall be negotiated in accordance with Article 218(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It shall be concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council, acting by a qualified majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.

3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.

4. For the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 3, the member of the European Council or of the Council representing the withdrawing Member State shall not participate in the discussions of the European Council or Council or in decisions concerning it.

A qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3)(b) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

5. If a State which has withdrawn from the Union asks to rejoin, its request shall be subject to the procedure referred to in Article 49.

LOL. Total waste of time and effort on their part. Unless it has escaped their pathetic little minds, Article 50 has been invoked. Brexit is happening. Unseating 20 or so Brexit MPs will have no effect.

I asked a reasonable question because I couldn't understand your post. I thought you meant things like DB and SNCF running UK train here and wanted to clarify matters to avoid jumping to conclusions.
