Welsh rural minister in bid to strengthen New Zealand links

Wales' Rural Affairs Secretary Lesley Griffiths is in New Zealand to "strengthen links between the two countries" ahead of Brexit.

She said there is a lot Wales and New Zealand can learn from each other.

The trip comes despite her previous warnings that a UK-New Zealand free trade deal could "destroy" the Welsh lamb industry.

Meat Promotion Wales chief Gwyn Howells said the nations could co-operate as they produce lamb in different seasons.

Keep 'em coming, coffee. These are hilarious with just the expected mix of bravado, hyperbole, ignorance and downright stupidity. They make for great reading - and lots of banging heads against desks.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

don't headbang too much, Alan - I need you as a beacon of sanity. BTW, just come back from my first local U3A Brexit group meeting. Most of the attendees (all oldies of course) are not happy about the B word, but I hope to stiffen their opposition

May signals Government target to cut immigration to remain in place post-Brexit

Theresa May has signalled that the Government’s goal of cutting net annual immigration below 100,000 will remain in place after Brexit.

The Prime Minister said she wanted to “continue to work to ensure that we address that particular target” after she was asked whether it will still be in place after Britain leaves the European Union (EU).

Goodness. Glad you bit. I've read all sorts of stuff (a lot of it from the Government) saying how much worse off we're going to be and how the regulatory and other barriers will be, erm, barriers to trade once the Tories take us outside the SM and CU and our regulations diverge. Perhaps you believe trade with the EU will somehow increase or remain at the same level because of or despite those barriers? Or that we will be a net importer of unicorns and rainbows and everything will be fluffy and warm?

It's you who bit, Alan. It is the EU which is erecting unnecessary barriers, and its their citizens who will suffer too. But then, they don't give a stuff about the millions of their citizens they have sacrificed for their Project, do they?

no, the barriers were there already but are one way only (as in an automated car park). Britain has decided to cross them on the way out, as is its democratic right, but cannot then expect them to disappear now is it on the other side.

A trade deal with Australia will not only be inadequate to make up for losing the SIngle Market, it may not be that simple: http://www.cer.eu/in-the-press/why-brit ... y-illusion

But Theresa May has made it quite clear that she wants deep and special partnership with the car park owners and that includes the freedom to enter and use the car park whenever we like without paying the parking fee. There will be no barriers for us and certainly no barrier infrastructure at the Irish entrance to the car park.
