The source I've found that is reporting this, puts it as temporary due to planned shutdowns to coincide with the original deadline. Without these, it would have fallen by 0.2%.
So an especially bad month because of 'doomsday planning', but it's not exactly optimistic about the following months because, yet again, of the continuing uncertainty. |

QUOTE(vidcapper @ Jun 10 2019, 04:10 PM)  HOw do you know *all* the fall was due to Brexit-prep? Nobody can know that. Just as nobody can know FOR SURE that it isn;t all down to Brexit. We can view how the economy has done, how we have done as citizens since 2010, since 2016, and note that we still haven't left the EU and we are yet to be hit by the shock of a No Deal Brexit that nobody promised, nobody predicted, and all the government stats say will be hugely damaging. Unless you earn over 50k a year, apparently, cos the money set aside to limit the damage to the economy is going to give the well-off tax cuts instead. Well done everyone who voted for Brexit to help the poor! Not going that way is it....? Tories: who could have guessed it!? |

Labour bid to block No Deal has just been defeated by 11 votes. NO DEAL here we come.

And to plough on regardless is an insult to all who voted Remain as well as the Remain campaign leader who took the old-fashioned attitude that it was best to abide by electoral law. Would you like to give a brief summary of what you think the consequences of leaving without a deal would be? |

Guys we've tried this all before and it all goes round in circles. Chris and no doubt many others want No Deal because that's what they voted for (when they didn't). It's now a fantastists idealism. Chris couldn't tell you what No Deal means to him.
I've zero sympathy and empathy for anyone that complains when it happens that voted for Brexit. Make no mistake, the poor will be hit the hardest as the cost of living will rise very sharply I can tell you that as a fact as someone who works in FMCG. But I still don't think No Deal will happen, there's no majority for it and aside from the McVey, Leadsome and Rabb I don't think anyone else would actually do it as they know they are commiting career suicide. Boris will say he will do it, but he won't. |

Boris says we'll leave by 31st October at the latest, with or without a deal. He'll try and get a better deal, maybe by refusing any further payments to them. Someone has to get tough with the EU and get a better deal.

QUOTE(*Tim @ Jun 12 2019, 11:26 PM) And refusing payments is gonna help get a better deal how exactly? The EU have failed to show an itemised list of what exactly the UK owes. Also it was the EU that said nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. As it's looking more and more like no deal (thank God!) then the EU will have to forget about the £39 billion or take the UK to court. Bearing in mind the EU's finances will be revealed to the whole world if this happens,

Or they just won’t open the trade talks until we pay and we’ll become that famously stable country that doesn’t trade at all with any of its closest neighbours.
You are living in a fiction if you think there is any situation where the UK has leverage in no deal. |

People who din’t pay what they owe to, for example, a bank will see their credit rating suffer. The same thing happens to countries.

QUOTE(Iz~ @ Jun 13 2019, 07:59 AM) You are living in a fiction if you think there is any situation where the UK has leverage in no deal. I meant before no deal. Boris has said he will use that threat of withdrawing any future payments unless they re-open negotiations immediately, which will be hard, as apparently they disbanded all their negotiating teams just prior to the elections. May wasn't tough enough with them and we need a PM who will be. Time to stop pussy-footing around with them. We have that large sum of money as our ace card as Farage has said too.

Did you just say the UK won't be able to trade with the EU if we leave with no deal?Have you heard of the World Trade Organisation? |

But what EXACTLY do we owe? That is what I am saying. If the EU can't prove we owe anything then why should the UK give them more money? |

The EU has provided a statement of account to the UK negotiation committee.
And as you’ve been telt before, the EU is actually pretty good at keeping track of its cash and requiring detailed and careful reports on spend. I used to manage research finance and a bunch of my researchers had EU grants that required so much special and detailed paperwork that we had an entire team of people just to look after them. But go off about something you know f*** all about mate. |
