They are searching high and low for every snippet of negativity. Not sure if Gary and Lynne are also on their payroll.

You could try the Daily Mail, they'll tell you what you want to hear.

Just heard a very positive approach from Liam Fox.

Just for you Roberta.

This link should take you to last night's newsnight.

At about 18 minutes into the programme there is a very interesting interview about

immigration with a Boris supporting Tory MP.

At about 30 mins into the programme there is a report on predictions that growth in our economy has been downgraded for the rest of this year and will be smaller again by next year.

They have calculated that the economy will be something like £350million smaller each day or so.

Does the figure £350million ring any bells?

He at least sounded like he believed what he was saying and not just saying what people want to hear. Not sure he is going to get access to the free market as easily as he thinks though.

From what I am hearing it seems that access to the free market has a price -  which is the free movement of labour.

But... S he also said theres a big world of trade out there for us to access, and other countries have trade with Europe with out having to be in the single market.Everybody will read what they want into it all and put their own slant on it.

Lynne ,Boris was shocked when Leave won, I didnt believe all the hype from his camp or the remainers, we will prosper on own once the initial unstabilities are in place . We need as a country to all be positive and send the message out,not doom and gloom.

The four freedoms - movement of: capital; services; goods; people. You can't have one without the other.

 

Cherry picking? No deal.

 

Oh and then there's the price of club membership...

I don't understand this idea "there is a whole world to trade with" argument. If you are a business who trades entirely or mostly in Europe then this statement is meaningless!

 

The EU are not going to bend to our every whim. In fact, if we don't keep Farage away from the European Parliament for the next 2 years (he actually turned up this time) they are going dig in deeper and not give us anything. I know he won't be in any discussions but he has a way of annoying people.

And on the subject of Farage, I still can't believe people fall for his dishonesty. He says the EU doesn't work but when on the European Parliament Fisheries Committee he attended 1 meeting out of 42 in 3 years!

You don't  mean, shock horror probe, that he was taking tax payers' money but not doing his as an MEP?
