Current Affairs EU In or Out

Don't forget about some care homes having to close due to rising costs.

Thanks! I'm lucky enough to not have any family currently in any sort of care, but yeah, add it to the flaming garbage pile that is no-deal Brexit.

Just going to leave this here:

Much of the UK fishing quotas are given to supertrawlers rather than the small fishing fleet.

So think the opposite is far more likely.

Any significant drop in the value of the pound could quite easily see large numbers of settled EU workers return back to their native countries.

Many sectors are reliant of workers with skills that take time to learn or aren't attractive enough prospects based on the salary - now I think that's a double edged sword as the EU can provide those people easily without the need to raise wages or benefit - but for small enterprise or family owned businesses that rely on this workforce and whose margins won't tolerate a sustained period of instability or downturn.

Adult social care and domiciliary care is a prime example as around 100,000 EU nationals work in the sector, and 80% of the providers are small/medium enterprise, hospitality is another.

Just for interest the figures from health and social care sector suggest around 100,000 social care staff are EU Nationals and a significant proportion of domiciliary care providers (around 80%) are small/medium family owned businesses who are very susceptible to fluctuations in the £.

Brexit !!! My arse !!

I do love the Brexiters' fondness for understatement:

• Shortages of fresh food
• Unavailability of some medicines
• Fuel shortages
• Limited access to fresh water in some areas
• Utility prices going up
• Well, all prices going up really
• Massively increased risk of disorder/crime etc
• All imports/exports facing massive delays causing economic collapse

"Bumps in the road" on the way to a future that might just about almost as good as the present, but have fewer funny accents in it.

As you promote this report which was compiled by avid remainers in Government ...
I have alway advocated a deal on here but you have to have a bargaining chip if it was not detrimental to the EU they would have kicked us out long ago its been 3 years.......

It's compiled through organisations who inform the government of a particular aspect.

NHS/PHE - Health
Scottish Power/United Utilities etc - utilities
Environment Agency - environmental issues

While it might make you feel better to blame 'remainers' the reality is that this document is a likely scenario post Brexit.

Oh give over you doddering clown. The report isn't going to have a bias as it's an internal document to prepare govt. departments for the likely consequences of crashing out. If it were written by those in govt with the most raging leave-boners available and gave us fairly decent prospects, only to prove woefully inadequate then what good would that do?

Isn't about time you engaged your brain with the real world rather than just telling us what you "just saw on the news"?

eh? the report was compiled in early August by the CSS who are an emergency planning sub dept of the cabinet office. Hardly a bunch of avid remainers.

stop the lies Joey

How any elected politician can read those document and not immediately advocate binning Brexit astonishes me.

They are elected to serve the people. Their best interests.

How on earth are our best interests served by doing this? I've still yet to see one actual good reason - an actual fact - as to why we're bloody leaving!

The guy on sky tonight reckons the new PM has superseded that report by making better provision for a no deal scenario just in case on sky news it was in the newspaper the Times about it ok I do not tell lies.....
He then went onto say their were better improvements, but it was still shaky as hell ok!
that was his opinion .......

But in joeys case we can make an exception

Farage interviewed by Peston on his show, ITV 10.45

Should be interesting.

What I get from the document is how could the government be so stupid to extend the previous deal to the end of October instead of say March next year, given the increased seasonal use of the NHS over winter and the fact that our food growing season ends requiring us to import more items.

They would have known this from the last deadline so it just clearly shows the incompetence of the people who have been elected on our behalf to serve and protect the population.
