 Brexit is about managed decline & missed opportunities

Missed opportunities:

The first of Japan's big law firms moves to Frankfurt in anticipation of increased trade from 500 Japanese companies.

 Much of this work would have happened in the UK.
Now it will be performed in Frankfurt and the increase in business as the result of the EU-Japan EPA now performed outside of the UK, in the EU27

Hello @LiamFox

You have until the end of the week.

"We’re going to replicate the 40 EU FTAs that exist before we leave the European Union so we’ve got no disruption of trade. Believe me, we’ll have up to 40 ready for one second after midnight"

I see that you have successfully negotiated replacement trade agreements where the UK doesn't export anything @LiamFox 🤡

You have however failed to successfully negotiate replacement trade agreements where the UK does export goods. @LiamFox

This is unfortunate.
Personally, I would have done it the other way around.

With Labour politicians gaslighting the public like this I don't think the Labour party deserves to exist anymore.
You are all too politically tribal, including you.

Labour have deliberately given us a far right government and a very damaging Brexit.

@Andrew_Adonis 2/
The main issue was a Labour policy of a GE before a referendum.

Keir Starmer lost the referendum before GE argument in the shadow cabinet meeting.

The LibDems should not have gone for a GE either and didn't vote for it in the end.

You Gaslight us on the issue being the LibDems with a GNU.

The issues was the independent Tory MPs and support for Corbyn.

Greive thought that he had the numbers for Margaret Beckett or John Bercow.

This gaslighting by you and others is why Labour deserve to die now.

#brexit cannot now be stopped

however getting it done is a huge labour of at least a decade

I do not believe there is any serious chance that project #Brexit
Will Be completed

Sooner or later the attempt to divorce the EUwill be abandoned fit the following reasons
Those who sold #Brexit are largely fantasists their ignorance of the European Union is not only well documented but it is something so universal they feel no shame in admitting it

for every visionary that embarks upon a seemingly impossible task a 1000 fools do
Getting #Brexit means the energy and resources of the UKgov being largely consumed for 10yrs plus replacind ivery trade deal we now with the entire world & 100s of international treaties with worse ones than we have now

An project that is titanic and futile in equal measure

Are you a law firm lawyer or litigator looking to shift into an in-house role? It is a great idea.

#opportunities #counsel #jobs #lawyers #lawsikho
This is a line of work that has gained a lot of prominence and is an in-demand choice for young lawyers.
Law firms have not remained as attractive as they used to be, as the horror stories of long nights at work, cruel partners, boiler room situations on a daily basis and difficult work conditions have made it less attractive for millennial lawyers.

#Japan vows to axe #SouthKorea from smooth-trade list, as row deepens - Tokyo plans to remove Seoul from a white list of countries that face minimum trade restrictions @9b3OR2qdITMbDcd scmp.com/news/asia/east…
South Korea protested against Japan’s plan to remove it from a list of countries with minimum trade restrictions, saying it undermines their decades-old economic & security cooperation & free trade. Asked Japan to scrap the plan, on concerns of disruptions of global supply chains
Japan’s planned revision of a law to take S Korea off its so-called white list comes amid a deepening row over compensation for wartime forced labour & after Japan tightened curbs this month on exports to South Korea of hi-tech materials used to make memory chips & display panels

"Companies bidding for work with the British government are being asked to affirm that they support #Brexit as part of the tendering process"

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
"Shortly after A50 was enacted companies that tendered for govt contracts were made to sign declarations that they were pro Brexit or no contract These threats are part of the reason its taken so long for major firms to express their growing concerns re #brexit".

Today Theresa May is in Grimsby speaking yet again to a "captive audience" of workers who can hardly show dissent before their Tory supporting employers who have invited May there.

Both Sky & BBC will be broadcasting these silent employees watching our PM address them live.

Japanese Business Represenation have today released a statement on #Brexit that is quite remarkable.

Very direct calls to UK and EU-27 on transition, future relationship and third party agreements

jbce.org/brexit/jbce-ke…
On transition, they echo EU call for full single market and customs union participation of the UK.

Even more, they call for a long transition and clear extension mechanism.

Otherwise, Japanese companies would need to trigger 'do deal' contigency planning.
Equally blunt are their positions on the future relationship, incl calls for
- no tarriffs
- the UK to remain within a customs regime with the EU
- regulatory coherence
- UK participation in EU programmes

In short, please don't change anything that might rock the boat.
