Here comes another one! Liz Truss eyes huge Brexit deal with New Zealand - key talks TODAY
Dan Falvey, Political Correspondent 12 hrs ago

Elizabeth Truss wearing a blue shirt: Trade Secretary Liz Truss will hold the in person talks today© PA Trade Secretary Liz Truss will hold the in person talks today
Damien O'Connor flew to Britain on Wednesday and held dinner with Ms Truss ahead of the talks. The fifth round of negotiations is expected by some to be the last, with the UK and New Zealand largely in agreement on most issues.

A deal could boost UK exports by as much as £100million a year.

Mr O'Connor's trip to London is the first undertaken by a Kiwi minister since the outbreak of the pandemic last spring.

It is hoped the outline of a trade deal will be announced following the latest set of negotiations.

Ahead of the talks, Ms Truss said both sides were eager to "turn momentum into results".

She said: "We've made great progress so far, but I want to intensify negotiations and move closer to a deal that works for both nations.

"Both sides are keen to turn momentum into results.

"I want an advanced agreement that shows what Britain can do as a sovereign trading nation - delivering better access for our services companies, slashing tariffs for our exporters, and benefitting consumers here at home.

"A deal will pave the way for us to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a £9trillion free trade area, which will help our farmers and businesses reach some of the biggest and fastest-growing markets in the world.

"Asia-Pacific is where the richest opportunities lie for Global Britain."

Britain is looking to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership that made up of 11 countries including Australia, Canada, Japan and New Zealand and is worth almost £10trillion a year.

Trade between the UK and New Zealand is already worth an estimated £3.2billion a year with an agreement likely to see the figure grow.

The talks come on the same week a trade deal with Australia was signed off by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

A breakthrough in negotiations with Canberra came in after the country's trade minister similarly flew to Britain for in-person talks.

Ms Truss and the Australian trade minister agreed the broad outline of a deal in April with officials finalising elements of the pact ahead of being singed off when Boris Johnson hosted the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison at Downing Street earlier this week.

The Department for International Trade had been hoping to have both deals ready to sign off by Easter, but the timeline slipped as frictions in negotiations slowed the pace of discussions.

Britain's deal with New Zealand is expected to largely mirror the one signed with Australia.

It will help remove tariffs to make it cheaper for UK companies to export to New Zealand.

Brits are also set to benefit from being able to buy cheaper goods from Wellington under the deal.

The terms of the UK's deal with Australia angered many British farmers, with fears lower quality cuts of meat imported from Canberra could be sold in the UK for cheaper prices under the agreement.

But with the New Zealand deal likely to include similar terms, on Wednesday Ms Truss told farmers to stop being "defensive".

"We can see the evidence, that sales of British beef international are growing to places like Asia-Pacific and the United States because people want to buy high quality British products produced in a high animal welfare way," she said.

"We need to be positive about what we've got to sell rather than being defensive."

Brexit breakthrough: EU states sign off on massive deal for UK - huge boost for business
Joe Barnes, Brussels Correspondent 6 hrs ago

Member state envoys endorsed the UK's data protection standards as sufficiently high enough that such information will be allowed to flow between Britain and the EU. The decision will allow the European Commission to adopt two adequacy decisions before the end of June to allow a seamless transition at the end of a six-month grace period for data flows. It relates to the EU's overarching General Data Protection Regulation and a directive on processing data connected with criminal offences, including victims, witnesses and suspects.

The move is seen as a big boost for cross-Channel business and crime-fighting efforts after Brexit.

Global software giant BSA welcomed the decision by EU member states, saying that adequacy frameworks were vice for personal data transfers of thousands of firms operating in Europe.

The EU has previously granted similar adequacy decisions for Argentina, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand and Switzerland.

Georgina Kon, a technology specialist at law firm Linklaters, said businesses could breathe a sigh of relief.

Confirmation of Nissan’s £1bn investment creating thousands of jobs. Nissan was part of Project Fear, weren’t they going to leave the UK on a leave result.

Project Fear did a great job in frightening Capper and his mates, thankfully they didn’t prevail

I can have reasoned conversations with thee lad but Alf only knows dirty tactics.

Anyway, it is good news but the details of the reservations were that industries will need significant support or they will fail.

It is interesting to note that whilst good old Bozzer was as happy as a hippy in an electric car yesterday, he does seem reluctant to release details of any public funding going towards the Nissan projects. Strange really, as I've said before, now we're out of the EU the priority for the British government is to shout about British industry from the rooftops and that should include pride in the level of support provided by the taxpayer.

Government support for industry, a true Socialist ideal... ;)

What Brexit exodus? Frankfurt's struggles exposed in new report as City set to thrive
Ciaran McGrath 1 hour ago

Vice Chairman of The City United Project said there is no threat to London's "unrivalled" status as Europe's financial capital - nor to its position as one of the world's most important financial centres. The report, published by Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen (Helaba), predicts headcount at the city's financial institutions by the end of 2023 will be roughly 62,200, a fall of 3,300 compared with last autumn, or five percent, as a result of cost-cutting measures.

Mr Evans told: "For the CityUnited Project it's not a surprise to see a German lending report saying banking jobs in the financial capital of Frankfurt are on the decline and are expected to drop by five percent.

"People will remember that one of the major stories from 2016 - and consistently ever since - was the predicted exodus on an almost biblical scale of banking and financial services jobs from the UK if the people voted to Leave.

"London was forecast to lose hundreds of thousands of jobs to Frankfurt and other EU27 cities."

In reality, the numbers lost represented a "trickle", said Mr Evans.

He added: "In April a report by New Financial could only identify 7,400 staff moves or local hires following the referendum.

"In fact, the news for the City and for other UK financial centres has been consistently good.

"Even this month alone, Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs announced it is launching a new UK transaction bank to provide companies with day-to-day treasury operations such as payment processing and payroll."

Meanwhile, EU companies continued to seek to launch their public listings in London, Mr Evans pointed out.

He cited as an example Swedish company Klarna, which is the most valuable start-up in Europe, having raised £1billon so far.

CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski recently remarked: "Brexit will be great for the UK.

"People expected all the banks will move away. I think it's the opposite."

Mr Evans added: "On top of this, just last week the 2021 Global Fintech Rankings report was issued, showing that London is by far the most active city in the whole of Europe and is expanding rapidly, with its 'challenger bank' sector thriving.

"The City United Project remains confident that with a new and even more attractive regulatory environment in the UK, London's unrivalled position as Europe's banking and financial services colossus will remain just that - unrivalled.

"And the new opportunities which have been emerging will make the City an even more exhilarating place to work."

In her report, Ulrike Bischoff, Helaba's financial centres expert said: "The regulation of financial services between the EU and the UK is a tough process as is Brexit itself.

"Comprehensive equivalence regulation by the EU for Great Britain is unlikely in the near future, and individual equivalence decisions are also uncertain.

"This would mean British Directives with which the EU would be recognised as equivalent.

"Looking ahead, there is a risk of regulatory arbitrage.

"After all, Brexit offers the opportunity to regulate regulations that have long been considered inappropriate now to change for their own market."

I'm not sure I ever saw a claim of hundreds of thousands of banking jobs leaving London but I do recall HSBC saying they were looking to move and/or did open a new 'headquarters' within the EU.

How's SME's doing and is the Northern Ireland peace process still under threat. I see the latter has been kicked in the long grass again because both sides know the trade agreement for NI will be divisive.

The world was never going to end when we left but ALL the experts still say there will be a negative impact on GDP so the British government is going to have to spend billions to support industries in this country, just as they are doing with Nissan.

It remains a wait and see exercise but none of us want it to fail as that would be the worst case scenario for everyone.

Capper, it was never going to be easy leaving the EU and short term there will be accrued losses, however the long term will hopefully be Rosey and say, in 5 years, we will start to see the benefits of leaving the EU in being in charge of our own destiny and be free of stupid EU rules but I take on board that there will be short term pain to achieve the long term gain !!

'EU trying to land-grab UK soil by back door!' Furious backlash to Brussels plot

Amid the heightened tensions post-Brexit, Express.co.uk readers have expressed their fury over how the EU has treated Northern Ireland and its place within the UK. Amid the support for remaining part of the UK, readers expressed their fury over the Northern Ireland protocol and its damage to businesses in the country. One person said: "Remainers are claiming nobody cares about NI.

"Well, this proves yet again they are liars.

"The EU is trying to land-grab parts of the UK via the back-door.

"EU nearly caused a war with Russia trying to recruit Ukraine into the EU."

A second said: "Funny how so many people just ignore and turn a blind eye to the poison within the EU.

"The Remainers never mention the debts of Greece, Italy, Portugal, Southern Ireland."

A third said: "Just walk away Boris trade on WTO and the EU will soon come running to us."

Another also criticised the EU and its alleged hatred towards the UK due to Brexit.

They said: "The EU fears how successful the UK can be, and they are literally quaking in their boots.

"However, what they choose to present to the world is the fiction of solidarity, the show of the EU being a successful merging of states and capable of wielding great power, but none of it adds up.

"The EU is in real trouble with massive debt, unity created by the threat of punishment, and a bureaucracy, that doesn't know its R's from its elbow."

The fury from readers was sparked following polling in Northern Ireland which found 53 percent of those asked want to remain part of the UK.

The Savanta ComRes poll also found just seven percent claimed remaining part of the UK was "not important at all".

In contrast, 29 percent claimed it was "very" important to them in a major boost to the integrity of the UK.

Of the 2,000 people asked, close to 65 percent of Leavers said it was important for Northern Ireland to remain in the UK.

A further 49 percent of those who voted to Remain, said it was important to remain part of the UK.

The polling, commissioned by the Centre for Brexit Policy (CBP), uncovers concerns the tensions could jeopardise the peace process and may contravene the Good Friday agreement which was instrumental in ending the Troubles.

Amid the issues caused by the Northern Ireland protocol, close to 60 percent of those asked said it was a threat to the peace and stability to Northern Ireland.

Former Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson, who chairs the CBP, said the findings should be a wake-up call to Conservative ministers and MPs.

He said: "The polling shows that the British people understand that the NIP radically changes the status of Northern Ireland and is threatening its stability.

"Nobel peace prize winner and architect of the Belfast Agreement Lord Trimble has said consistently that the NIP breaches the principle of consent that the status of Northern Ireland cannot change without the consent of the people.

"Lord Trimble is an advocate of mutual enforcement as a solution which would guarantee the sovereignty of the UK and the integrity of the EU single market."

I'm not entirely sure what the confused readers of the Express actually understand about this situation.

Northern Ireland voted in a greater majority than the overall UK vote, to stay in the EU. They knew it was vital to both trade and the peace process.

However, I fully expected the majority to also want to stay in the UK. I want NI to remain part of the UK.

The NIP is a fudge developed by both the UK (Tory) govt. and the EU, largely the UK govt., to rush through the Brexit agreement. I have already voice my concerns on here about it's impact on NI and the peace process.

As for the EU trying to wage war with Russia over the Ukraine, I'm sure the EU remains a possibility for many nations and each and every one should have the democratic choice to join. I'm sure Russia's annexing of the Crimea has done far more harm to the region than anything the EU have or have not done.

For Christ's sake, the Express is one of the biggest comics you can read.

THERE MAY BE "EU" TROUBLE AHEAD !! - another nail in the EU coffin or what !!!!!! note another Express news release based on actual Video of statements in Brussels !


Guy Verhofstadt sparks calls for Poland to leave EU: 'We don't need them!'

The former Belgium Prime Minister, current MEP and frequent Brexit critic was commenting on the escalating row between the bloc and Warsaw over controversial legal reforms. The Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) has claimed a new disciplinary chamber set up at Poland's Supreme Court as part of an overhaul of its judiciary "does not provide all the guarantees of impartiality and independence".

However, the Polish Constitutional Tribunal hit back, saying the interim orders issued by the CJEU were not compatible with the country's constitution.

Mr Verhofstadt posted: "Against the wishes of the vast majority of Polish people who want a future, the populist governing PiS party is determined to take out of the EU.

"Will anyone act to stop them before it is too late?"

However, rather than being alarmed by his warnings, plenty claimed the situation simply highlighted the EU's shortcomings.

William Black replied: "More cracks forming in the EU Guy?

"I thought you lot were totally united?"

Another quipped: "It's fine Guy... they just need a good old fashioned dose of 'More Europe'. That's the remedy for situations like this.

"Remember how you brought the UK population to heel with 'More Europe'?

"Those pesky Brits soon learned which side their bread was buttered."

Simon Rees said: "Another joining the UK and leaving the sinking ship that is the EU."

Another added: "Guy, it's called democracy! - the lack of it in the EU will lead to its downfall."

Others suggested Mr Verhofstadt was correct to suggest Poland's departure was only a matter of time.

One said: "I am looking forward to seeing a Polexit!"

A second added: "This is great news. Poland takes the highest donations from the EU. We don't need Poland."

Another Twitter user sought to contrast Mr Verhofstadt's remarks with the EU's attitude towards the UK throughout the Brexit negotiations.

They said: "Rule of Law, a bit rich coming from you? Who tried to thwart the British people's democratic decision to leave the EU?

"An act of parliament passed by our elected representatives? The Rule of Law?"

Meanwhile, another poster suggested Poland would not be the only other country to leave, saying: "Looks like the EU is falling apart.

"Ireland will be leaving soon too now that they are net contributor."

However, by no means did everyone disagree with Mr Verhofstadt.

Paul Mayock said: "Hear hear well said and well pointed out......much the same duplicity used in taking the UK out of the EU."

And James Boag said: "Coming from Scotland, Do something, Do Anything to stop this madness, At least you can't point to Boris and say, that went well didn't it!"

Separately, the European Union executive will announce a fresh legal case against Hungary - led by Viktor Orban - on Thursday over LGBT discrimination and also take steps over regions in Poland - led by Mateusz Morawiecki - which have declared themselves "LGBT-free zones", Express.co.uk understands.

Capper, here's yet another story on the EU and why we were best to leave rather than stay as you and your lot advocated !!

'Hard Brexiteers CORRECT!' Vindication as EU threatens to plunge Switzerland into darkness
HARD BREXITEERS have been told Brexit has been thoroughly vindicated after European Union threatened to plunge Switzerland into darkness as tensions continue to escalate following the collapse of trade talks.

Switzerland is at risk of being kicked out of the European electricity market as Brussels takes a firm stance after Bern refused to sign an all-encompassing agreement to manage trade. Earlier this year, France used similar threats against the UK in a bid to secure access for its furious fishermen off the coast of Jersey. Without a deal in place, the Swiss cannot participate in the EU's power-market coupling, while certificates of origin, which shows whether electricity bought or sold is from a renewable source, are now not being accepted throughout the area.

There have been warnings of national blackouts, although such an event is considered unlikely.

But consumers and businesses fear energy prices could surge as a result of the row with the EU.

Now Britons have once again reacted furiously towards the tactics from the EU, claiming it is yet more proof Brexit has been vindicated with one stating:-.

"Now I see the hardline Brexiteers are correct because the EU don’t want fair trade they want to dominate the UK and force us into either rejoin as a subservient country or bankrupt the UK.

"These are not a nice trade block to do business with, they are poison and I would now opt for a clean break and to hell with softening the blow to the EU. Boris must now be tough with them."

A second person fumed: "If the EU cuts off electricity to any country, people are going to die. This is how low they are.

I am fully aware BJ is under pressure from all sides of the argument but it has been clear for many months now that half-hearted and short lockdowns are not working and are only serving to prolong the economic downturn. Cruel to be kind springs to mind.

As for the EU, looks like their sorted with the vaccines, unlike our import/export delays...
Rapid Changing Situation is what it is ! - you can't tell me that the argument is wearing very thin when at least 3 variants of Covid have materiallized in the past 2 months and the rapid rise in numbers on deaths and spread have been mainly attributed to this fact !! Keep Up Capper !!!

BJ has been treading both sides of the divide on lockdown and opening up business - The question is, what decision should really be made - Full Lockdown costing thousands of jobs and massive business bust leading to years of oblivion and social disintegration or Fully opening and costing thousands more lives !! Which decision are you (or anyone) for that matter are for as clearly you have to come down to one of those 2 decisions or remain with what BJ has been doing to appease both sides of the argument - You can now See it is very difficult for anyone to be in that "decision making role" as all ways are doomed to criticism - The fact of the matter is whichever way we go, there is going to be a human life cost !

The realisation of all of this is that we are in very severe bad times and this pandemic along with the much bigger issue of "end of world as we know it" climate change is where we (I believe) now need to prepare for the worst and the forming of local action groups will need to be formed sooner rather than later to protect, help, assist local areas of people in food produce and security etc - Let's face it, the government has done a lot to keep us afloat with furlough payments etc but that just can't go on and we will eventually have to take matters into our own hands and try to come together to stop social unrest and breakdown. Some may say this is an over-reaction but I say, it's pointless holding our head in our hands and think its all going to go away... it ain't !! - the end of this year will see masses with no job, furlough finished and nothing to feed their families ! That's when its all going to kick off !!
Thats the tory dream innit?????

Yes there are a few good Brexit positive vibes going on and this one is a biggy !!!

Not so good regarding the train projects for the North but having said that, there's a humongous amount of Covid debt to be serviced so hopefully all the positive Brexit business will eventually release the finance to complete at some point in the future.

Now all this could be superfluous small potatoes as there are so many threats emerging where Russia/Belarus is looking very worrying along with China/Taiwan which may have the whole world on meltdown (and that's if Climate Change doesn't eventually and finally finish us all off anyway) !!!!
