Category Archives: Brexit

On any given week, I do a number of things that, increasingly, put me on the naughty step. Just yesterday I had high carbon-emitting agricultural produce for dinner (steak), and on Monday Im making a transatlantic flight back to Blighty, with another low-cost hop to France coming hot on its heels. Beyond generally chucking things in the right bin, I give as little thought to recycling as possible. I love to blast air conditioning, if available, when its truly boiling outside, and to blast the heating, equally, when its freezing. And, to make it all worse for the armies of cultural puritans finger-wagging everywhere from government to activism to the highest echelons of celebrity culture and the royal family, I dont feel bad about any of it. In fact, I regard flying, and advanced forms of consumption, from Amazons next-day deliveries of completely random stuff to the ability, following Ubers implosion, to summon a black cab in two minutes on an app, as nothing short of marvellous and just as it should be.

No, what I feel bad about is the fact that all that nice stuff good meat, flights and holidays, not having to overthink heating ones home or cooking or keeping lights on has already become extremely difficult for millions, and is only going to get worse when the mercury plummets. I feel bad about the fact not, as some seem to censoriously suggest, that we consumed, polluted and, with Brexit, voted ourselves into a brutal cost of living crisis, but rather that a grisly storm of silly priorities by the government, unavoidably outlandish spending during Covid, a muddled, under-used work force, a broken energy sector and the egregious Russian invasion of Ukraine has landed us here.

Its clear that Britain is hitting the skids, and, thanks to the added seasoning of relentless mass transport strikes, has already slid back to a 1970s-style economic and infrastructural mess. What is needed are solutions, not the further embrace of punitive finger-wagging.

We face several years, perhaps, of miserable drear and grind as costs and prices soar, and the inflation rate, currently at over 10 per cent, poisons economic stability. But those seizing on this perilous situation to blame capitalism, Brexit, and to lecture about climate change, are missing the point. The point is not that we got ourselves into this, that we spend too much, enjoy too much cheap travel and variety at the supermarket, got the energy market wrong, and had the audacity to want to break free of the EU. The point is that we need better thinking about markets, and better technology to reduce carbon emissions, fix the energy sector, water shortages, and the problems caused by long-distance food haulage. We need to creatively embrace the possibilities afforded by Brexit, not go down in the mire, ideological and practical, of a poorly-managed transition. The point, in short, is not just desserts, but making sure we can keep enjoying lots of delicious desserts, or, put in safer metaphorical terms, the fruits of modernity thoroughly and securely.

The working and middle classes are due a break. For years we have been berated about everything from plastic bag use to sugar consumption, slapped with eye-watering congestion charges, and disrupted by malodorous environmental and anti-capitalist protesters as we simply tried to commute to work. Covids universal cats cradle of nonsensical rules further entrenched the sense of being fatally and perpetually constrained.

If a break is not forthcoming in the present mess, we are at the very least due a bit of encouragement, a bit of hope. And yet there is no let-up. Last week, responding to the most recent heat wave, the focus was back on how we need to do and eat less of what we fancy. Henry Dimbleby, adviser on the governments food policy, and founder of Leon, the food chain, said that the only way for Britain to meet its biodiversity and climate targets was for the consumption of meat to be drastically curtailed, including through penalties. Meanwhile, despite the present government being one of the most aggressive pursuants of net zero on earth today, researchers are complaining that its not doing enough to heckle people into lifestyle changes. Yougov polling showed the July heatwave caused some panic and reflection about climate change among the public, but understandably not enough to make people want to change their lifestyles by forking out for an electric car, eating less red meat, and giving up flying.

To green-heads in policy and research, this is a shame; in their view, the little people should bite the bullet while the government should be less focused on innovation. It should stay mum about the possibilities of electric planes, for instance, and instead focus on making it harder for people to heat their homes or go on holiday. And while few would publicly clap their hands with glee while arguing that Brexit is causing millions to struggle to feed their families there is, nonetheless, a whiff of cackling Remainiac told-you-so-ism about the present moment too. Much was made in the usual quarters of a study earlier this summer on the effects of Brexit on Britains economic outlook. Put out by the Resolution Foundation, a thinktank, in partnership with the LSE, it was surprise surprise a celebration of all the allegedly grim outcomes Remainers warned of. The cost of living crisis, an apparent plummeting in both openness and competitiveness and all the rest of it was explored in fairly one-sided detail.

Brexit has certainly caused some economic constriction, but next to sensible embrace of the broader picture, there is no reason it should not be relatively short-term. Its the same for the rest of the current horror show. Indeed, the main thing about the present mess is not that we deserve it, but that we deserve to get out of it as quickly as possible.

It wasn't Brexit or capitalism that got us into this mess - but try telling that to the new Puritans - The Telegraph

One of the things Liz Truss said about Brexit earlier this year already looks pretty ridiculous.

In January, the now Tory leadership contender said Brexit had been fine and had not led to "Armageddon" with "huge queues at Dover" but this is absolutely not true.

She told the Andrew Marr Show on BBC One: There were all kinds of predictions of Armageddon, that wed have huge queues at Dover, it would all be very difficult. In fact, many businesses have succeeded in undergoing those new processes, continuing their exports, we havent seen those predictions of Armageddon come true.

At the time, it was called out for being a bit ridiculous given there was already evidence of queues in Dover which industry groups blamed Brexit for.

And months on, it has just appeared even less of a credible take as these queues have become more of a regular occurrence. As recently as last month. Some Tories have tried to blame the French for the problems, but have been shut down.

Regardless of the ins and outs of how they have happened, it is clear that queues in Dover have indeed started since Brexit.

Great prediction, Liz.

Liz Truss' Brexit prediction has aged terribly in just seven months - indy100

The Government can look forward to a post-Brexit windfall worth 135 billion after the UK leaves the European Union, a report claimed in 2017.

The Economists for Free Trade (EFT) group said Brexit will be overwhelmingly positive for the British economy provided the Government adopts the right policies.

The EFT headed by Professor Patrick Minford says the priority for the Government should be to bring down trade barriers with the rest of the world once Britain has left the EU while reducing the burden of regulation and taxation on firms and individuals.

Yes it is that Patrick Minford who is calling Truss the new Thatcher,

Back in July BBCs Nick Robinson interviewed Liz Truss.

He asked: Will borrowing billions of pounds, you say over 30billion increase or decrease inflation?

Ms Truss replied My tax cuts will decrease inflation.

Mr Robinson interjected: Really? You dont point to a single Chancellor or a single Governor of the Bank of England, a single leading economist who thinks that cutting taxes with borrowed money does anything other than increase inflation.

Ms Truss hit back: Patrick Minford. Hes written an article about it this weekend.

In 1981 over 300 economists wrote a letter criticising Margaret Thatchers disastrous economic policies, Minford defended the government and received a letter from Thatcher congratulating him for his efforts.

John Spiers wrote on Twitter: Liz Truss just told Radio 4 that she wants to follow the advice of Patrick Minford, a fringe economist who said that for Brexit to succeed economically we would have to get rid of farming and manufacturing and live with much bigger wage inequality.

Now he has told the Times that Liz Truss is the nearest thing we have to Margaret Thatcher.

Not everyone is convinced

According to members of the UKs leading Napoleonic re-enactment society, the customs red tape fails to account for their firearms. As a result, they are at risk of having their weapons confiscated as they head to the central Spanish-Portuguese border for an event. Members say they may have to wield pitchforks as Portuguese peasants, instead of being British soldiers armed with muskets and rifles.

Chair of the Napoleonic Association Lisa Stanhope said: "What you cant risk is having your beautiful, historically accurate and expensive weapon taken off you by a customs officer who doesnt know the rules.

They are heading to the border this week for a re-enactment for the 1810 Siege of Almeida.Prior to the UK leaving the EU, re-enactors could get a free European licence alongside their shotgun licence. The European licence is used for old-fashioned long arms, allowing them to travel freely with the weapons.

But it seems that for this niche activity, no Brexit provisions exist to guarantee they will be able to continue their re-enactments. Ms Stanhope said she had received conflicting advice from officials at HMRC. She had spoken to four different people who she says could not provide clear guidance.

Ms Stanhope added that she had been told by both French and Spanish officials as well as ferry operators that their community were being held back by UK rules, not EU ones. The rules require them to fill out complex and expensive forms to continue post-Brexit.

Re-enactment societies are already an expensive activity, with outfits costing over 1,000.

They say that the cost and uncertainty of the situation is putting them off it entirely. Re-enactor Richard Cocker, meanwhile, took a swipe at the priorities of the Brexit deal.

He said: "Were not rich guys going off on a hunting holiday, which seems to be totally catered for."

An HMRC spokesman said they were working to provide clearer guidance for those affected, adding that it was the EUs remit to decide on the process.

They said: "The EU determines what is required to import goods into member states. We are working on providing clearer guidance that addresses the requirements on temporarily moving items to the EU."

Brexit red tape sees battle re-enactment societies at risk of having weapons confiscated - Express

It used to be a reliable middle-class hack: if you wanted a zero-effort holiday, with no decisions except whether to have a pina colada or a beer, you went somewhere French-run and all-inclusive. The business model relies upon a large number of abstemious French people who prefer aqua aerobics, and a small but noticeable number of quietly extravagant British people. Then you would chat to them in halting French, and they would take over in much more expert English.

French parenting is incredibly harsh, and the swimming pool resounds to the sound of: Non, crtin! Who knows what this does to the long-term adult prospects of the three-year-old miscreants, but it makes the bar incredibly peaceful and nice, since only the kids who arent carrying on are in there. This is the way its been for years.

And then what happened? Was it Brexit? I probably ought to list a number of other factors, for balance, but sod it. Its definitely Brexit: it somehow killed Anglo-French holiday cohabitation, which is why the four of us ended up the sole British family by a Tunisian beach, the only people for miles around who didnt know whether Fanta was masculine or feminine, and were too thirsty to Google it.

This is a bad new world: theres nothing to be said for it. I cant tell you the number of times I was asked whether I was Flemish or from the Netherlands. I was incompetent enough that I clearly wasnt French, yet nobody expects to meet a British family who can even say merci any more. No, not German either! Canadian, then? A Swiss family approached at one point and said: We heard you were here, but didnt believe it. Youre an endangered species!

There are the serious consequences of our departure from the EU, and they have been ably listed by everyone: the slide into recession that was just unnecessary and wilful, the wanton destruction of small businesses and trade, the sheer national self-sabotage that all remoaners predicted, only to see those very predictions turned against them. Then there are the myriad inconveniences: the queues at airports, the indignity of a blue passport that you didnt choose and, nevertheless, have to carry like a badge, the new weird restrictions that come from no longer being part of the club.

But theres atmospheric stuff, too: I think the perception is that our whole nation has turned against internationalism. When you try to speak another language not very well, people look at you like a dog standing on its hind legs. When you vape constantly, other vapers look surprised, as if thats a laidback European thing now, the British being perceived as joyless and self-flagellating, otherwise how else to explain us? When you queue by a bar, people give way to you, as though youre so exceedingly Viking that who knows what youll do otherwise?

I wanted to wear a badge saying: Dont look at me I didnt vote for this, much like the one that my mum made me wear after the general election of 1983 (a weird statement: I was 10, so obviously). I wanted to act the internationalist ambassador by, I dont know, maybe being able to play ptanque, or not getting sunburnt on the very first day, or knowing the intricate leg routine to Freed from Desire, which for some reason the French, who run their dancefloors like aerobics classes, can all do in sync.

I wanted to make some gesture of atonement and reconciliation, to which the closest I got was walking around with a shit-eating half-smile on my face. I managed one full conversation the whole week, when I flipped some pickles out of a jar and they went everywhere. Sorry, I said (in French!), its very difficult. Actually, some impossibly stylish woman replied, its really easy. Thats what you want. A level of continental familiarity where people are amusingly rude to you. Now people are mostly eerily polite.

As a Brit abroad post-Brexit, I wanted to wear a badge saying: Dont look at me I didnt vote for this! - The Guardian

Breeding programmes designed to save critically endangered species are being jeopardised by Brexit, with zoos warning they are being prevented from transferring animals such as rhinos and giraffes by red tape created by the UKs departure from the EU.

The animal health regulation was passed in 2016 before the EU referendum, but came into force in April 2021. There have been no reports that the UK dissented from the regulation.

Zoos small populations mean it is essential that they swap animals for breeding programmes to keep the gene pool as broad as possible.

Before 31 December 2020, an average year saw about 1,400 transfers between the UK and other EU countries. But in 2021 there were just 56, and so far this year there have been 84, according to the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (Biaza).

Nicky Needham, Biazas senior manager for animal care and conservation, said there were more than 400 European Endangered Species Programmes (EEPs), and UK zoos and aquariums were involved in coordinating about 25%.

These are safety net populations for threatened species, she said. Animal transfers between zoos and aquariums are carefully planned to maintain a healthy genetic population.

One programme to save the Eastern black rhinoceros, a critically endangered species, has 87 animals, of which about 39 are at UK zoos. Losing this would jeopardise the viability of the population and stop reintroductions to east Africa, Needham said.

Transfers have plunged for two main reasons, Needham said. Since Brexit, a new EU Animal Health Regulation has come into force, after being agreed in 2016. That created new controls on the import of animals and plants into the EU, known as sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) checks.

Many of those checks need to be carried out at border control posts, which are usually set up by private enterprises. A few exist at airports in the EU, but so far there are none at French ports, creating an effective ban on the import of any large animal.

Last week the Observer revealed that farmers were considering taking the extraordinary step of building a border control post in Calais and paying for it themselves, so that breeders could export their pedigree cattle, sheep and pigs.

The few animals that have been transferred successfully to European zoos have travelled in aeroplanes. One was Sammi, a margay or tiger cat, born at Shaldon Wildlife Trust in Devon in late 2020. Margays are native to central and south America, but illegal hunting mean they are now classified as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

There are 45 in Europe, with only six breeding pairs, so after the age of 10 months, when margays leave their mothers, Sammi was scheduled to go to Berlin Zoo to pair with a female margay from France.

Prior to Brexit this would not have been a problem, said Zak Showell, Shaldon Wildlife Trusts chief executive. It would have taken a month or two to organise for the animal to get collected by a specialist transport company. This took six months.

When were dealing with small populations, being able to move animals to set up new breeding pairs is incredibly important. Certain animals like the black rhino, if you dont breed them then they stop cycling. Having individuals on their own or not in breeding situations hampers the ability to continue breeding these endangered species.

Some zoos have not been so lucky, with transfers falling through or facing very long delays. Ramon the orangutan arrived in Munster in June 2022 from Blackpool Zoo, after a year of planning. His departure means Blackpools zookeepers can import another male to join the group and hope for more baby orangutans.Showell had to apply for separate animal health certificates for Sammi the margay.

Every time an animal is moved, Defra has to negotiate with the other country on what level of health screening and surveillance and everything else needs to be done for this animal to move, he said.

Some countries want new certificates for each species, Showell added. Ive just been told I need to move some tamarins [New World monkeys] to Belgium. The health certificate for primates from the UK to Belgium does not exist. Its made the whole process incredibly complicated and so much more time-intensive.

Costs have also increased, because specialist transport companies are not able to drive their vehicles in Europe without approval. Were moving more animals via planes, which is more expensive. And were talking small animals here. You cant fit a giraffe on a plane.

A Defra spokesperson said: This shows the real harm the bureaucratic approach the EU has chosen to take on animal and plant health. Were ready to continue to negotiate on this where sensible pragmatic compromises can lead to improvements for everyone.

Meanwhile we are working closely with the Animal and Plant Health Agency and the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums to identify priority exports where there are welfare concerns or implications to breeding programs.

All of the requests for export health certificates for the exports of zoo animals have been successfully fast tracked.

Brexit threatening endangered species as red tape hits zoo breeding programmes - The Guardian

A

Brexiteer Tory MP on Monday admitted immigration has increased since Britain voted to leave the EU.

Despite the Leave campaign proclaiming that Brexit would mean taking back control on immigration and asylum, and cutting migration to the tens of thousands, the UK is seeing a rise of people coming from abroad.

Neil OBrien, MP for Harborough MPin Leicestershire. accused Boris Johnsons Government of liberalising non-EU migration since Brexit by ending caps on visas, lowering qualification requirements and removing minimum earning requirements for skilled migrants.

The number of small boats arriving on the shores of Kent had highlighted the issue and increased the risk of a new populist party forming in the UK, the former Levelling up minister added.

More than 20,000 people have crossed the Channel in small boats so far this year. Some 607 people made the perilous journey on Saturday alone the third time the total has topped 600 since the start of 2022.

Immigration will be one of the hottest issues facing the new Prime Minister, Mr OBrien wrote in an article for ConservativeHome.

First, many Leave voters assumed Brexit would reduce immigration. But since the referendum its increased. And people are starting to notice.

Second, the small boats crisis highlights it. If the new Prime Minister doesnt grip that, could be the spark for a new populist party.

The proportion of UK residents born overseas has increased by 7 per cent since 2000.

In 2021 there were approximately 6 million people with non-British nationality living in the UK and 9.6m people who were born abroad, according to Government data.

Some 573,000 people migrated into the UK in the year ending June 2021, compared to 334,000 people who emigrated from it.

Holger Hestermeyer, professor of international and EU law at Kings College London, found that many European countries have seen an increase in the number of residents born abroad.

The UK does not seem to be an outlier, but rather fits into the Western European context, he said.

But Mr OBrien said the UK was now seeing more immigration from poorer countries, rather than European areas or Canada, the US, New Zealand and Australia.

The same very high immigration, but more from poorer countries wasnt what people wanted from Brexit, he said.

It comes as a new report revealed a shortage of workers across the UK has been made worse by Brexit.

Data shows that just 43,000 EU citizens received visas for work, study, family or other purposes last year, a fraction of the up to 430,000 Europeans who came to the UK annually in the six years to March 2020.

The British hospitality and support services have been hit particularly hard and labour shortages means some employers are having to raise wages to attract staff, which is further forcing up prices as inflation soars.

Immigration has increased since Brexit, admits Tory MP - Evening Standard

I was a new MP, having been elected less than a year before the referendum was called. David Cameron deserved great credit for his efforts to renegotiate the terms of our membership of the EU, but for me it didnt go far enough. To reach a different conclusion to the then Prime Minister, and indeed my predecessor in Richmond (Yorks), WIlliam Hague, was extremely difficult. But, I believed that the referendum was a once in a generation opportunity and we had to grab it.

Before being elected, I had a business career in which I worked around the world in places like the US, India and Brazil. That experience convinced me that the key to growth is to remove the bureaucracy of Brussels. If countries like Canada, South Korea and South Africa could all trade freely with the European Union without surrendering their independence then why not us? And why not allow British businesses to take advantage of new markets around the world?

As an MP, I saw too many examples of businesses being stifled by EU red tape that did everything from prohibiting us from favouring British produce to mandating the width of a hedgerow. On the doorstep, it was clear that the public were fed up with unelected officials in Brussels having more of a say over who could come into the UK than they did. I have said many times that I am the product of this countrys compassionate and generous immigration system, but it must be the case that we have control of our borders - and we can only do that outside the EU. As a member of the EU, every one of the EUs 500 million citizens had a legal right to move to the UK and there was absolutely nothing that we could do about it. That isnt fair.

I am often asked if I was tempted to campaign the other way instead. I wasnt tempted for a minute. I was told that my decision would be detrimental to my career. But I was guided by principle, and not what I thought might be best for my political career.

Make no mistake, the establishment was against us. Whether it was millions of pounds of taxpayers money spent on a leaflet to voters to tell them to vote remain or the pathetic scare stories about Brexit costing every household over 3,000 being peddled by others in this contest, it was a steep and narrow path to victory. But we did it. My promise is that I will deliver it in full.

In many ways, Brexit was about changing our mindset. It wasnt just about what we couldnt do, but what we didnt do. I felt that we could create a brighter future for our country.

I have been clear that, as Prime Minister, I will make the most of the freedoms that Brexit has given us. I have already started, with the creation of freeports in areas like Teesside and financial services reform that will make the UK the best place in the world to invest. A year ago, I gave a speech at Mansion House and published a roadmap for the financial services sector.

I will rip up or reform every last one of the 2,400 legacy EU laws that are holding our economy back.

From implementing remaining Basel III standards to allowing pensions funds and insurance companies to invest in UK infrastructure and completing Solvency II reform, I will make London the worlds leading financial centre.

I will replace EU-derived GDPR laws and make sure that we can clamp down on those who abuse peoples data. I will also cut red tape that slows down clinical trials. Outside the EU, we delivered the fastest vaccine rollout in Europe. We must build on that and deliver a single approval service in the UK for clinical trials - which will help cut waiting times.

2016 was a huge moment for our country. We must now move forward, capitalise on the opportunities available to us to grow our economy and create well-paid jobs up and down the country.

This is our chance.

Brexit was the right thing for Britain, says RISHI SUNAK - Express

Michael Fabricant has blasted Lord Adonis' claims that "when Boris goes, Brexit starts to go".

Boris Johnson resigned as Prime Minister on July 7, and will remain Prime Minister until a new Tory leader is elected in September.

While Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, and Keir Stamer have all committed to Brexit, Mr Johnsons resignation has sparked fears rejoiners will overturn leaving the EU.

On Twitter, Andrew Adonis, chairman of European Movement UK, repeated calls the UK could be back in the Customs Union & single Market by 2030.

The Lord said: I havent changed my view that when Boris goes, Brexit starts to go too.

Not in one fell swoop but a death of a thousand cuts which would accelerate if Lab win the ejection.

The UK could be back in the Customs Union & single Market by 2030, which Euromove is campaigning for!

In response, Mr Fabricant, Tory MP for Lichfield, said: This is why we must remain vigilant to keep Brexit and the independence of the UK.

David Bannerman, former Tory MEP, added: This is the true agenda: If Boris goes Brexit goes. Except they underestimate Liz Truss.

Brexit: Ministers 'filling jobs with foreign workers' as immigration fails to slow - Express

Brexit is having a negative impact on business, according to almost half of UK IT leaders questioned in a Computing Delta study.

14% said the impact of the UK leaving the EU has been "negative" with 33% judging it to be "somewhat negative". That compares with 3% who viewed Brexit as "positive" and 6% who said "somewhat positive". The largest proportion (44%) said Brexit has been "neutral", however.

Among public sector respondents working in local government, health and education, none viewed Brexit as a positive.

Supply chain problems were affecting several respondents.

"Stock availability is extremely poor and disruptive," commented an IT manager in a charity. "Supply chain issues are having an impact on procurement and timely replacement of IT hardware," added an IT architect in the energy sector.

In part, these supply chain issues were thought to be a result of global shortages, but in the main increased paperwork, higher costs and Brexit-induced bureaucracy were blamed.

"We deal internationally, and within the telecoms sector there have been some changes when dealing with EU countries which make it more difficult to trade and setup customers within these countries," said a UC architect at a technology firm, while a contracts and framework manager in another tech company blamed "red tape, a slower supply chain and troubled logistics."

Some respondents, including an IT director at a small marketing firm, said they'd lost numerous European customers, while an IT leader at a university complained about the impact on research activities. Another in education said simply, "Brexit is a mistake".

Recruitment difficulties were another of the issues raised, with some respondents saying Brexit has exacerbated the pre-existing tech skills gap.

Among those who viewed Brexit as a positive, one, an IT distributor, who said there'd been no change to the business as a result of Brexit, although the global semiconductor shortage has been problematic while a CTO in manufacturing believed initial problems will be ironed out. "It's all good," that person said.

Despite the travails caused for many by Brexit, overall more (40%) said they were more optimistic about their business than this time last year than less optimistic (18%) citing a bounceback following the lifting of Covid rules.

"The pandemic has shown the resilience of staff and the ability for the business to adapt to new challenges," said an upbeat CIO in a large engineering firm.

The research was carried out in July among 115 UK IT leaders with responsibility for IT strategy, planning, procurement and budgets.

Technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate, and the industry is changing along with it. To keep pace with the latest trends join us this October for the IT Leaders Festival 2022: where IT decision makers to come together to learn, collaborate and tackle their biggest challenges.
