Brexit

[Gill W]

They were going to release the document giving details of their plans

Then they decided not to.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter now. Things are moving on as we speak.

What I'm reading now is that May is going to give up on Chequers, if EU reject it in Salzburg next week.

[Onelife]

If Theresa is going to give up on the Chequers plan l hope she makes it abundantly clear that this isn't a "bluff" decision as the time for playing games has to stop, she needs to leave the EU in no doubt that rejecting the Chequers plan will be an end game decision for them also.

liar liar tounges on fire......

We then wait a few weeks and see what they come back with once they start seeing the backlash from the many businesses that rely on UK trade deals.

We still have a couple of options open to us but the more l read about what would be involved the more l think Chequers is the best option for the UK.

[Gill W]

Now I read that the ERG is plotting to overthrow May.

It’s like they are all playing Game of Thrones, and like you say Keith, the time for game playing is over.

You do all realise that most of these news stories are the result of behind the scenes press briefings from the various brexit and remain groups, and of course highlight the worst case scenarios that might happen if a certain path was followed.
Much better to ignore the lot and just wait and see what really happens, all this second guessing leads us nowhere and just heightens the concerns of everyone; and a bit like Hammond's suggestion that fuel duty might need to be raised to pay for the extra NHS funding, they are designed to gauge public opinion and learn which option might be least onerous.

Tis what that nice Mr Trump would call " Fake News ", ignore it and wait for official notifications from No 10.

ps … Plan B is to select suitable bits that suit else make it up as you go along … and worry yourself to death

Hi John/mob,

There are 39 pages of opinion and speculation on this thread many of which have been contributed by your good selves.....pot calling the kettle black springs to mind

[Gill W]

What’s happening appears to change every 5 minutes.

So yes, let’s wait for something real to actually happen.

I am now getting ready for my holiday, so I intend to put this sorry mess out of my mind for a few weeks.

I get back to Southampton on 10th October, and fully expect no further Brexit progress will be made while I’m away.

However I expect this thread to have grown by several pages while everyone carries on speculating, and picking out the bits of news that they like !

I am not criticising anyone and fully accept my own contributions have not always been well received by the remain camp. But as we approach the end game I feel that maybe a little quiet reflection is the better way to go, and I will therefore try to remain neutral, whilst still a positive leaver.

The number of pages will depend how you are set up … some will have more and some will have less … just like the Brexit Topic itself your number is misleading

Hi Jack.....hope you had an enjoyable break?

Ok' it might entail a journey to find your nearest post office but once there you can purchase all the IDP's necessary for your European tour. If you intend touring eight countries it will cost less than a tank of petrol.....

hopefully it won't be a route we have to take?

The last section regarding EU licence holders says it all,....How welcoming we are to our friends, obviously cant be said of that lot.
And Jack, I spent 16 yrs driving around Europe and not in a car.

You should have bought a map.

[screwy]

That’s actually quite funny for you.

What a fuss about nothing. Having lived in the Fatherland for 15 years we were very accustomed to International Driving Licences, Green cards etc all obtained through our friendly ADAC, the German driving association. It's a non story but of course, our media will make a mountain out of a molehill.

I can't believe that as a nation we have become so incompetent that we feel we can't cope with something as simple as this, which the Germans managed all those years ago, or that we have become so reliant on being spoon fed by the EU that we can no longer manage and are expected to run around like headless chickens at the very thought. Isn't it time we got a grip!!!?

The good news is that if house prices take a hit at least it will not effect the poorest among us, who generally don't own their own home.

From the 'passport' thread

Guess what - it is to to with Brexit!!!!

Wash your mouth out with soap Chief Modplod!

'Tis true

EU will reject passports with more than ten years validity

The reports I've seen suggest that people renew older passports to make sure that the term left is not too short.

I've seen nothing, apart from John's comment, to indicate that the EU won't accept passports with a term that's too LONG.

The EU clearly accepts passports now with more than 10 years validity, so why should this change after Brexit.

This sounds like a Project Fear thing to me, so I'd be grateful if a link could be supplied to the source of this information.

Thanks

On another forum it says it's is to do with Schengen, non Schengen countries have this 10 year limit applied, we currently escape this because we are EU members, but that may be equally untrue although it seems too much of a coincidence that its happening now as no deal policy is being reviewed.

The flip side to that Ray is that it will allow first time buyers the chance to get onto the housing ladder instead of wasting their money on rented properties.
Mortgages may increase but most will l presume take on mortgages that take this into account....fixed etc.

Here is a link about what could happen in the event of no deal.

Yes Oneline that would be a definite advantage, albeit it will hit the kids inheritance a tad, but they cant blame me, being a Remoaner. Interestingly and regarding mortgages, a neihbour had a revaluation last week to remortgage, the result a valuation 20% below the current going resale price. the reason "uncertain financial market conditions"

Hi Ray....l think we are looking at worst case scenarios. Carney was probably saying what could happen not what will happen at the government meeting yesterday.
