Re: Trade Deal
Hi
The view from the EU.
https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-t...talks-phase-2/
It is already apparent that the EU is not going to come running as Boris and others said.
A Canada deal would be good for the EU and not too shabby for us.
It would at least keep manufactured goods and agricultural products flowing and allow us to negotiate Trade Deals with others.
The big problem will be Services, we stand to lose between £20 and £40 Billion a year in tax receipts, depending on who you listen to.
Services are not covered by WTO Rules.
We can take off the £8 Billion , which is our net payment to the EU and then slash our Overseas Aid Budget, restricting it solely to simple Humanitarian Aid in times of natural disaster, just what we would expect to receive from others in times of one happening here.
The balance can be easily made up by a 10% increase in Personal Taxation, charging EU Nationals for use of the NHS and abolishing the Triple lock for Pensioners.
As it was our Generation which voted overwhelmingly for Brexit, it is only fair we take some of the pain.
