The point is, i would rather they paid the going rate, 2.5 billion, and spent the other 10 billion they shared out amongst their friends and companies they have shares in, so you and yours could have had the vacines earlier mate, hopefully its soon going to be a distant memory and we can get back to some sort of normal, is the plumbing game booming? I heard it is.

So would I cp obviously, its our tax dollars but as I said lives were saved by both the ppe and purchase of the vaccines. Im sure it wasn't 'shared' out intentionally and some other high profile political figures of all colours have benefitted.
Any how im a pipe fitter; a plumber is a pipe fitter with his head kicked in
I said before I don't work for myself I'm a paye building service engineer looking after offices,schools, gyms,big residential sites etc. Mainly boilers (some as big as a car and bigger) and associated plant so I don't benefit from cash jobs im afraid!
I should do though as there is dough to be earned and im good, I always wanted the security though what with a family and as paye I get sick pay, holiday pay, pension and a van and tools.
Whats not to like when someone else has to find my work

Ha Ha, head kicked in, the pipefitters on the sites i was on back in the day were definately capable of that, bruisers most of them. Yes, paye might be the best way to go in the future, once the back log has been cleared, lots of self employed might struggle, especially when the cash claw back begins.

The claw back being legitimate if its been claimed fraudulently which you must agree is correct. Tax rises are inevitable and unavoidable though. Spending on this c19 has been huge even without the
'Wasted' as you say and i have some agreement;money on ppe and track and trace. Albeit only about 10% of the spend.

This wasn't what was forecast

"Almost one in five of those who voted to remain in the EU in 2016 would choose to stay out now, according to the poll. By contrast, only 9% of 2016 leave voters want to re-join.

When respondents who declined to back either side are removed, the equivalent of 54% of adults now say they would vote to stay out of the bloc in a repeat referendum, and 46% say they would re-join. That’s a wider margin than the 52%-48% split in 2016."

I'm sure someone will be along soon to point out that this poll only represents people who have no idea of anything and are too moronic to see the absolute, unmitigated benefit of rejoining as soon as possible, and should therefore be disregarded by anyone with half a brain.

I for one am just happy that nigel, boris and jacob did deliver, all these extra shekles we have in our pockets already, and we are only 3 months in! Everyone can see, covid aside, the job market is booming, uber eats and deliveroo are all hiring, nobody who can ride a bike , with a backpack to boot, and can carry maybe 5 or 6 pizzas, needs to be out of work! The housing market is booming, great if you are an owner, probably not so good if you are a first time buyer, but who cares? We have democracy! Once again, thank you nigel, thank you boris, and thank you jacob and nanny, you promised, and you truly delivered! Special thanks to nanny, as jacob has turned out in to a fine example of a 1950"s Britain !

Indeed.

Stranger still, the majority of those racists who voted Leave are supposed to have been greatly reduced in number due to natural causes and Covid, yet even more people "don't understand " what they voted for today than in 2016. It's a puzzle, that's for sure.

No doubt Bloomberg from where the poll is reported has shifted from its Left-leaning financial roots to have become a Daily Mail spin-off. That'll explain it.

As far as your description goes, if the cap fits you had better wear it.

Anyone can see that the UK is coming apart at the seams due to brexit.

The Bloomberg version of the UK obviously doesn't include Northern Ireland.

Still too early to draw conclusions the virus has had a huge impact across the world in demand so it's difficult to know what is now normal.

Everything is so up in the air at the moment that, as you quite rightly say, it is difficult to know what is normal.

But it does show that exports are flowing from the UK. The real issue is that we are still waving in goods from the EU, again primarily Covid driven. Once things settle down and we can get global trade moving properly, then hopefully we can start putting the pressure on that by way of ramping up the pressure.

Potentially good news, but as before, need more time to see what the deal is

Still no simplification or resolution on the export process, paperwork and red tape tho.

Also, it's a rebound of 40 odd percent of the original 40% drop so only half way back as yet

So what is the reason the EU is coming apart at the seams, Brexit? Presumably you will be leaving soon then?

Brexit has already cost £11.5billion in trade, Centre for European Reform think tank estimates.

That would be far more accurate than a leave tory rag extolling brexit to the point of complete delusion.

Obviously if your trade collapses to near zero and recovers 0.4% it is still disastrous unnecessary self-harm.

We've just spent 400 billion on covid, including helping millions of citizens and 100s of businesses. 11b is a snip in reality.
