The very worst scenario for the country's point of view would be stringing the talks out until Christmas, then announcing no deal. That would leave absolutely no time for businesses (link mine) to prepare. If that is Johnson's plan it's unbelievably irresponsible.

And as many predicated Project Fear has now turned to Project reality as the Brexit utopia is exposed as a pack of lies told by billionaires to the gullible working class to remove their rights and freedoms.

Kinda where we are already isn't it? The chances of any meaningful changes being done by industry between now and Jan 1st seem slim.

It's like we have a 1930 Germany feel about it , we will have to blame someone for it sooner or later my bet it's not the people who voted for it.

I'm a bubble, some of those are good ideas.

Corporation Tax cuts for example doesn't automatically just mean more money for the rich. It can do, but it means more jobs, greater investment etc.

But in the context of Brexit, all of those is like trying to put a kids plaster over a shotgun wound.

Pete genuinely tried to make this point a few years back. Because German cars basically. They'd scupper the EU project to sell a few more Volswagens.

Oh how I laughed.

Then cried.

I think the Czechs are concerned about their Skodas, but of course Johnson only tried to cozy up to Merkel so probably wouldn't know. Sadly this is ultimately a lose-lose situation for all concerned.

It's a tough one.
Cut corporate tax rates to attract business and investment but will it work?
In the short term you cut funds to the exchequer just when the country needs them.
If the purpose is to attract foreign investment, it'll take a stable economy to attract foreign investment with low taxes, and the UK won't have that for a while.
Basically, can the UK afford starving the exchequer in an effort to jump start the economy.
Very risky game.

Not just new investment, but to keep existing investment in.

12% on 2000 businesses is better than 20%+ on 500, and the more people employed you have the better the Income Tax take is and so on.

Personally I'd be happy to see CT cut to 15%, stamp duty abolished and marijuana legalised. Cards on table - I'd only personally benefit from the first one of those things, but it's not through selfishness that I'd like to see it, it really is because I think keeping companies viable and employment rates from imploding is the only way to come through this disaster half dead rather than totally dead.

Yanno, to me, it seems more like opening the wound further and making the injured party work hard before they can satiate themselves on their own boudin noir.
 
I see the French fishermen are suggesting blockading Calais......well no one saw that coming.......

They are turning on the Dutch Super Fishing Boats, suggesting a bit of bother in French waters might just happen...again, no one saw that coming......

Many councils are on their arses and on the verge of bankruptcy. Cutting CT is never going to happen
Edit: sorry you meant corporation tax. Thought that was council tax for a second. Carry on
