By volume, by monetary value, by categories, and by how much of each? No tariffs on food entirely, whilst keeping as high a possible on pharmaceuticals for instance? Wouldn't suprise me though. Afterall the Conservatives are salivating at the chance to destroy British agricultural industries for the sake of poorly regulated American agricultural imports. 90% of total imported goods will have no tarrifs the 10% will be protected areas such as cars, food | ||

Well, I guess the cost of food will go up. Wouldn't hurt me much, but it'll hurt the poor. Article says" According to government sources the 10-20% of more sensitive items which will retain their protection includes cars, beef, lamb, dairy and some lines of textiles." | ||

I really don't see a no-deal situation being allowed to happen. | ||

I really don't see a no-deal situation being allowed to happen. It says: DUP sources: “The party cannot support the Prime Minister’s deal in tonight’s vote.” #Brexit I mean they were the main reason she still had support and stayed in power right? So if they don't support her new agreements, or whatever it was. She is powerless, no? Hasn't the EU stated they will only support extension if the terms are agreed upon, well that ship has sailed apparently. | ||

To force her to resign they would have to withdraw their confidence and supply agreement, and this falls way short of that. I don't think they would ever even do that considering the risk that Corbyn would end up in power. She might well end up having to resign. Its difficult to know where the chips will fall. I think much will depend on the numbers in the vote later. | ||

Andrea Leadsom and Chris Grayling are already talking about when to hold a third vote on the deal. This isn't over for May even if her deal is defeated tonight. | ||

Boris, Gove, Raab, Hunt, Javid, Truss, Rudd and many others would all jump at the chance to take over even now. This noone wants to take over is spin from May's team | ||
