No, the UK has left the E.U.

We have always known that the UK couldnt sign any trade deals until after we had left . 

I think I already said we had left hence the no veto or influence comment.

 

We always knew there wouldnt be any trade deals until after we left? You better have a word with your fellow Brexiteers mate. They were claiming we would have hundreds signed, sealed and delivered before we left.

Which Brexiteers were saying that ?

I thought thaT IT was common knowledge that EU rules meant that the UK couldn't sign any trade deals until we had left the EU

The EU still is part of the single market. Free trade rules still apply. All the rules and regulations are still in place. The only thing that is different is that the UK doesn't have a vote. That's why I wrote "virtually". But if you don't agree, tell us what is different apart from the fact that the UK technically isn't a member.

That is not the case. The UK can sign trade deals with nations that already had such deals with the EU before article 52 was invoked. Just not with any other nations.

Actually having reread my posts I think I worded it poorly.

The UK has left the EU but we are still constrained by the terms under which we left until the end of the year.

 

I can not explain how you have not read the posts by the more vigorous Brexiteers claiming we would have all these trade deals done before we left the EU. They have gone suspiciously quiet over such matters for about 6 months but prior to that they were championing deals with South Korea for example as being a massive breakthrough. 

 

I do not include you among the vigorous Brexiteers group by the way.

Lol, so you dismiss an entire study by a team of one of the world's top four accountancy firms because they are deviously self-interested and involved in cover-ups and scandals. Okay, that's a sensible and balanced approach.

 

And you think you can replace the relocation of clearing of euro-denominated trading from London to the eurozone, with the potential loss of 230,000 jobs in the City by trading the Canadian Dollar? Or perhaps by trading the Ugandan Shilling?

 

Are you quite serious?

The relocation of clearing of euro-denominated trading from London to the ez won't happen as easily as you think.

Companies don't need to move to the UK to use financial services in the UK. Again, you're mixing financial services up with manufacturing.

I think you're imagining this. As somebody has already pointed out to you, it's common knowledge that being an EU member state prevents a country from signing bi-lateral trade deals with non-EU countries. 

What the UK can do (and has been doing) is seek continuity agreements with countries we had trade deals with via the EU. By December 2019 the UK had signed agreements with those countries covering 74.6% of the UK's trade from 2018. So we're doing pretty well actually!

You can sell yours for a % of GDP or a trade deal but you're a minority thankfully.

So exactly what extra freedoms do we get for £1.5 billion - other that the freedom to pay more taxes to pay for this ?

Can you tell us more too about how the Irish will have no residency rights in the UK post brexit? All your other posts are so factual and spot on so your thoughts on this would be most welcome 555!

Boris has already stated a hard border is going to happen,he wants it and it will happen ,no border checks mid Irish sea

  Also stated "no right of abode" to other eu citizens, at the mo freedom of movement,but Boris wants an end to that too, want to enter the UK?  visa needed

  Now as you see  Boris has been "spot on" with his predictions also and actions 55555555555555555555555  to Boris   Wot says u   LOL

Predicting the future, are we? First off, a trade deal with the USA is no sure thing. In fact, quite the opposite.

And not just that, now Johnson and Trump are on the outs because of Huawei. As for Australia, it's on the other side of the world from UK with lots of dynamic trading partners in Asia. What makes you think that a trade deal with Australia will contribute much to the UK economy apart from cheaper lamb?

If financial service companies don't have passporting  or equivalancy rights they can't offer services through the EU based financial system. Why do you think that UK financial service companies are pressing so hard to retain those rights?

Once again predicting the future. That's the great thing about the future. It can be whatever you want it to be. Except factual.

Not surprising that you resort to this since you get so much wrong about the present.

Baht appreciation didn't really take off until mid 2017. Can't really argue with your figures though.

 

How about 60% Brexit 40% baht? 555

As I told you already, companies do not need to move to the UK to use financial services. Investors can simply redirect their investments to UK markets and financial products. 

 

But if you need an example of a global company having confidence in the City, here you go:
