"Hard Brexit" has been spun into "Clean Brexit" - sounds so much better!

Another benefit of leaving the world's only declining trading block. Thanks!
Er, we'll still be in the trading black called "Europe" y'know.

Perhaps with your stunning growth in Ireland, you can afford costly needless regulations? We can't. There is a reason the EU isn't growing
The EU is growing:

and has a shrinking share of world trade. Regulations play a huge part.
I'm guessing you don't have a clue what CRD IV is. There's a reason that's the only one they put as an acronym.

Still, what less regulated country do you aspire to be like?

Aah. The BTL stuff wouldn't load for me. Four of those would explain with Nigel Lawson and Digby Jones are involved. I had to look up 'CRD IV package' and I'm guessing the EU would want UK banks to have that in order to sell goods and services in EU27?
So £6billion of the savings will come from weakening employees rights. Super. And obviously the UKs nearest neighbours will not be bothered in the slightest by the having a near neighbour abandoning plans to combat climate change.

Cue the Brexiteers saying no one can tell the UK what to do ...
That was always the type of Brexit that would result from leaving under a Tory government. And it makes perfect sense from a right wing pov, but the people I've always wondered about were the Bennite types who thought they were voting for something left wing by leaving the EU. Talk about turkeys voting for Christmas.

if clean brexit is now the new name for our EU exit and does mean us getting our 12 billion a year back plus control of our borders ie migration and also our fishing then i think it will be a big success with joe public. i dont think we can compromise and stay half in the EU like norway or switzerland as we arent some minnow that needs a club to belong to. also what can the remainers come up with that beats it.

So regulation that protects the environment and worker's rights is 'needless'?

Isn't that what the coal lobby did? They created "clean coal" - it's still terrible for the environment, but it sounds better so let's get mining!

No doubt the brexshitters think we should actually be mining instead of building all these pesky nukes and wind/solar farms

The Brexiteers do love a coal mine - they're an essential part of getting our steam engine-driven empire back.

When there were regular smogs in London there wasn't bed blocking of hospital beds, the reason....elderly patients were killed off by smog.

In a civilised caring forward looking country such as Britain outside the EU, we can get those skiving doctors back to working 100 hours a week.

People especially pregnant women will be encouraged to drink and smoke to push up the death rate...to reduce the need for new schools & housing.

It's the Brexit non politically correct way of thinking that will create manufacturing jobs for skilled construction workers such as coffin makers....watch Chapell's shares rocket and the City makes a killing.

Things are looking up for coffin makers....

Also, the UK can scrape laws that prevent children being sent up chimney's to clean them, it gives them backbone.

The regulations covering cars must cost billions, it's time to ditch them, let's put lead back into paint, what harm can it do.

It seems scrapping some 'burdensome regulations' along with leaving the EU, customs union etc will result in saving £450 million a week,

Sign me up! I wonder what the 100 or so regulations are? Who cares! Think of all that lolly! I had a look on the Change Britain website and can't see the research, but I trust Gove. And Boris is involved. Obviously.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...ro-leave-group

A pressure group backed by a string of former Vote Leave campaigners from Michael Gove to Gisela Stuart has claimed that exiting the EU with a “clean Brexit” could save the country £450m a week.

The report from Change Britain claims the UK economy could benefit by £24bn a year by leaving the single market and customs union, calling this scenario a “clean Brexit”.

It argues that in a likely outcome this would deliver annual savings of £10.4bn from contributions to the EU budget and £1.2bn from scrapping “burdensome regulations” while allowing the UK to forge new trade deals worth £12.3bn.
Yep, best get out of the failing project asap, fed up of supporting failing euro economies.

Well said. Why let the euro economies have all the fun when we can create the biggest economic failure of them all, right here on the Sceptred Isle?

You do know net non EU migration is higher than EU migration, don't you? How's that control playing with Joe Public?

And how do you think control of our fishing will be seen as a big success with Joe Public when the amount of fishing we do doesn't change? Don;t you think Joe Public will feel a bit cheated?

And if we don't need a club to belong to you want to leave NATO, the UN, the Commonwealth?

Getting rid of CRD IV will be a big help.

it is only declining because overall wealth creation from emerging markets is on the rise.

the US''s share of world output is in similar 'decline'

But you knew that already, as I have told you that repeatedly. maybe you just have poor memory.

The USA's share of world output is not due to halve by 2025.

It's odd how some people struggle with basic facts that are not in dispute by even the most churlish of reactionaries. What possible objection could you have that could make you so incredulous?

No, he just has no other argument.

What is due to happen to the federation of 50 states with a single currency called the USA's share of world trade?

And what's due to happen to ours by the same measure?

Not only voting for Christmas but lining themselves up for the chop. Oh btw here is a link to the 'research' behind the study claims.

It's what happens when the facts don't back up your argument.

Us Bennite types rationalised that the only way we would get out of the EU was via poisonous Tory infighting and UKIP agitating. And it was about democracy, not a particular left wing viewpoint.
Pure ideology only goes so far and then you have to be pragmatic to achieve ultimate aims. Labour were never going to give us a referendum and the Greens would never gain power, at least in most of our lifetimes.
Once we are out there will be opportunities to elect British governments with better social policies for a long term future.
