He should refrain from using his family as part as his image and politics then. That's the problem with these 'Flag, Faith and Family' scutter MPs, they're happy to use their kids politically but they're off limits to everyone else. They're fair game as far as I'm concerned.

Brexit: Tory MPs say technology key to avoiding hard Irish border
2 hours ago

The future management of the Irish border is one of three main priorities in UK-EU Brexit talks
A hard border on the island of Ireland can be avoided by using "established" technology and "modifying" existing arrangements, Brexiteer Tory MPs say.

The European Research Group said the issue had been allowed to "frame" the talks but need not block a trade deal.

They call for "effective co-operation" between Belfast and Dublin to address smuggling concerns and extra customs forms to be included in VAT returns.

The EU has insisted on a "backstop" to ensure the single market is protected.

Both the UK and the EU want to avoid a return to physical checks at the Northern Ireland border, but have yet to agree how this can be achieved.

The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said the ERG's answer to the problem of the Irish border seemed to be that "there isn't really a problem".


He said the group was citing the example of the "invisible border" between Norway and Sweden as a precedent for how post-Brexit arrangements might work.

Speaking at the launch of the ERG's report in London, former Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Patterson said he and other MPs were trying to "help the European Union and the UK government" by "giving an answer" to a problem which has risked derailing the Brexit process.



He insisted there was "absolutely nothing new" in what the group was proposing because the solutions already exist to deliver "an ordered border".

He said there was already a tax, VAT, excise and currency border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland which was maintained by "administrative and technical tools".

This should continue after Brexit, he said, supplemented by a range of mechanisms to ensure customs checks are conducted away from the border, such as trusted trader schemes.

"We absolutely believe there is no need for new physical infrastructure at the border and it can be handled by current means," he said.

The report acknowledges a range of new checks will be needed on goods passing across the 310 mile border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland after Brexit, including extra customs declarations and declarations of origin as well as sanitary, phytosanitary and product compliance procedures.

Among the proposals put forward in the document to deal with these are:

Extra customs declarations should be incorporated into existing system of VAT returns
Simplified customs procedures for the majority of cross-border trade
Trusted trader-type schemes for large companies
Equivalence of UK and EU regulations for agricultural produce
Declaring the island of Ireland a Common Biosecurity Zone
The report concluded: "The proposals can be realised within the existing legal and operational frameworks of the UK and EU, based on the mutual trust on which regular trade depends.

"They do nothing to alter the constitutional position of Northern Ireland and do not violate the principle of consent of the enshrined in the Belfast Agreement."


John Campbell, the BBC's Northern Ireland business and economics editor, said the document offered more detail than before and put forward a number of "plausible technocratic solutions".

But he said they placed a lot of store on the EU agreeing to mutual recognition of standards and the UK having access to its VAT system - which was far from clear.

The Democratic Unionist Party, whose support Theresa May relies on for her majority in Westminster, said the proposals were "positive and timely" and the issue should not be an impediment to a wider Brexit deal.


Speaking before the proposals were published, European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said the UK could not "walk away" from its responsibilities to uphold the Good Friday Agreement.

"It is not the European Union, it is Brexit that risks making the border more visible in Northern Ireland," he said.

And Labour MP Alison McGovern, who backs the People's Vote campaign for a referendum on the final Brexit deal, said any additional border checks would have "no democratic legitimacy".

"Their proposals on Northern Ireland are profoundly dangerous to the stability and security of Northern Ireland and the whole of the United Kingdom," she said.

"The reality is neither Theresa May nor Jacob Rees-Mogg have any answers to the Irish border question.

Tory MPs opposed to Theresa May's Chequers blueprint have denied plotting against her, after it emerged the issue of her future was discussed openly by Tory MPs at a meeting on Tuesday night.

"We've got a very good prime minister," former Brexit Secretary David Davis said.

"I disagree with her on one issue, it's this issue. She should stay in place because we need stability, and we need decent government as the backdrop for what we're doing in the coming next six months."

Oh you can't blame Corbyn for it, although if he has attended a wedding with that sort of regalia on show he should be ashamed given how many died under it. 

 

It is absolutely hilarious though lol I honesty think now you could find any holocaust denier, anti-semite or far left nutter in Britain and with the help of Google find a connection to the absolute boy or his sidekick.

Take it as a bit of fun @Buce - it's not like any of this is going to stop anyone voting for Corbyn who intends to.

 

I've given up trying to convince people now, I just laugh at it instead.

DUP backing the ERG point of view on the Northern Irish border.

 

https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2018/09/erg-and-dup-just-created-new-brexit-nightmare-theresa-may

 

That's a huge problem for May now, she might need their support and now there are no Northern Irish MP's in the house that are prepared to back her viewpoint on the border. 

 

Those others are the leaders of the DUP, who have helpfully endorsed the ERG’s plan. They have also demanded that there is no regulatory border in the Irish Sea, as well as no customs border. It holes Downing Street’s plans for meeting its red lines on avoiding a hard border, and maintaining the constitutional integrity of the UK, below the waterline. Months after it was thought to have been put to bed, Northern Ireland is back to add to May’s nightmare.

Full document out tomorrow.....

 

Brexiteers in the ERG have published their eagerly awaited alternative solution to the vexed issue of the Irish border, after the full house of Boris Johnson, David Davis and Steve Baker turned out to the World Trade Deal launch by Economists For Free Trade yesterday. This is starting to look like a coordinated push…

Brexiteers are emphasising that this proposal is based on existing EU procedures and precedents and claim that it directly addresses the EU’s concerns over the border, rather than simply reheating old ideas.

The proposals include a Common Biosecurity Zone on the island of Ireland with the UK and EU agreeing to maintain equivalence on agricultural regulations to obviate the need for food and animal health (SPS) checks on the border, which account for a major proportion of the physical inspections currently required on non-EU imports. Regulatory compliance on non-agricultural goods would be enforced by pro-active trading standards inspections at the point of sale, assisted by data-sharing and co-operation between authorities on both sides of the border.

Larger companies would use existing technologies including trusted trader schemes to declare goods crossing the border, while for small companies, goods declarations would be incorporated into existing systems for VAT returns, which all companies trading across the border already have to complete. Origin declarations would be simplified through the existing Registered Exporter (REX) scheme.

The most perverse,incompetent,deranged,questionalably-corrupt , cock-up in the history of British politics,and still people are attempting  to have

an intellectual debate,and platform of the whole bumbling mess......

2 years of saying to Europe and to the British public,we want to cancel everything with our EU contract,And

but keep every juicy bit and all advantages it gives us,then take back our sovereignty,which our own British politicians,gleefully giving it up

and giving it all away Over the generations....then blaming conveniently Mr Johnny Foreigner...

I am totally bored....

I just find stuff like this weird.

 

Even if you did it because you personally thought it was OK, surely you'd be aware that rather than it furthering your objectives, it's just going to create an outcry, folk will think you're a knob and any message you were trying to communicate is lost in the ether

If you are a grown adult who thinks bullying children is acceptable, you are probably mentally incapable of judging anything else you have mention there with any logic or reason.

The way human beings process empathy is weird. When we see kids getting shouted at we instinctively know it's wrong (and to be clear it is, I'm not in any way condoning it) but take one abstract step back and consider the negative effects on the children of, say, those 40 thousand people working for Jaguar Land Rover who face losing their jobs? Nah too big to think about. Or how about Mogg's nothing to fear from a no deal report out the other day singing the praises of the removal of currently existing non tariff barriers... like the safety standards on kids toys that we all take for granted for example.

Probably the most extreme case of whataboutism we've had on here tbh.
