aright Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Good News! Britain’s manufacturers increased growth in March, defying fears that the cold snap at the start of the month would hit output. Factory production has increased for 20 consecutive months with healthy domestic and export demand driving growth, though there were some weather-related delays in supplies caused by the so-called Beast from the East. The purchasing managers’ index - an influential survey of businesses run by IHS Markit - edged up from 55.0 in February to 55.1 in March. https://uk.news.search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AwrT4o.EQMRaWeoAvA9LBQx.;_ylu=X3oDMTE0Y3JhZG80BGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDVUlVS0MwMV8xBHNlYwNzYw--?p=UK+factories+defy+the+beast+from+the+east&fr=yfp-t&fr2=cosmos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyf Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Looks like brexit will be judged a failure as many businesses are already facing additional costs to maintain trade with the EU. Theresa May’s Brexit deal must be judged a failure unless it secures “no additional costs” for businesses trading with the EU, a committee of MPs warns today. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-deal-trade-eu-theresa-may-business-mps-free-meaningful-vote-a8287141.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will descend into chaos as they argue over who pays the bills in the next 5 years or so, then the shit will really hit the fan. They're already arguing about it now as they prepare the next budget, the reality won't hit for a few years. It will hit the remaining EU members hard. You have member countries stating that there is no way they will increase their contributions or change from net gainers to net payers. It's going to get very ugly. Each to their own opinion.
