Brexit catch up

Dominic Cummings, the billionaire it is OK to back a side in the Brexit debate this week railed against those remainers who did not plan and fall back on "will of the people rhetoric", ruining his pure Brexit. Those comments aimed at May, Gove, Johnson, Fix et al, who still cannot agree among themselves, and Boris is still running his own campaign contrary to that of the Government, but still has not been sacked.

Gove stated, without irony, that since the referendum Britain is more unified and inclusive. That must have escaped the Windrush Generation, the 3 million EU citizens, and 6000 professionals who the Home Office denied visa for despite there being jobs for them.

Parts of the Cabinet are still pushing for the technological solution the the NI/Irish Border, despite it being estimated to cost UK businesses in relation to the UK side along to cost in the region of £20 Billion. Junior ministers said that HMRC's figures were too pessimistic, but it would involve costs for businesses, but without revealing her sources, if there were any.

The Government is pushing for something called "Customs regulatory alignment period", it's initials do not inspire confidence of course.....

It has emerged that the government is thinking of using prisoners to plug employment shortfalls post-Brexit, as that is what everyone voted for, clearly.

Ireland has said it has yet to receive anything in black and white as to what the solution to the border issue might be, until then there is nothing to negotiate.

Britain is still making threats that without commitment from the EU shared security might be at risk. As I always say, Its Britain that is leaving, therefore up to use to get solutions. Also UK is trying to get Australia to join in an independant GPS system now that the EU might force UK out, what with Brexit meaning Brexit, unless May can come up with anything other than soundbites.

And I suppose the best definition of the UK's present and future position has been: currently UK is in the EU with opt-outs, but wants to be out but with opt ins.

Of course, many of those opt ins are not available to those outside the EU, even the UK, as a third party has the same rights as all other third countries.

Lots has to be decided before the end of June, so expect things to get ever more fraught.
