Vote for who ? None of the political parties are supporting a new referendum. Badenoch gleefully announced the removal of 400 EU regulations .

Point to the top five ways the tories have improved the lives of ordinary citizens in the last 14 years. Even the BBC radio is falling apart with endless repeats because of cuts in funding.
When Cameron and co. arrived in 2010, there was an unwritten rule to put Tories into top jobs across government and all parts of the civil service, and also the BBC and anywhere else they could. Another expression of this was the rise of GB News, achieved alongside changing things at Ofcom so it would not shut them down.
All basically true. There's only a few vocal fanatics still trying refight the lost Battle of Brexit. Most have accepted we never belonged and moved on.
@@paullarne agin you understand nothing the CAP is a good thing it made sure that farmers where paid , and food was of a good standerd and it also protected frammers, it was a food policy for all farmers where is our food policy ?????? please where ????? go and do some reading about it and why it has worked for 50 years
Very good as usual BUT unfortunately European farmers (and Australian and Ukrainian) have all had their own crises (heat,drought, war etc) so there literally isnt any spare food readily available (of the varieties usually bought)and this year has hardly got started in the west (Europe) so sorry UK you are a long way down the list of deserving causes.
Selling food into the UK is about making profit. If checks and red tape erode profitability the huge companies that export food into the UK might not do it, if they can't make a worthwhile profit.
that is disgusting they cut you off , BBC that we pay for not being fair to the public by showing everything and cut any criticism of the Tory government is shameful , they have screwed up us farmers with their lies over Brexit and devastation of farm income , and the BBC having non of it , keep going Liz , I wish C4 would do something on this we may get a balanced view
Anything but address the issue of Brexit. Shame on this government, who are stil unwilling to admit there's a Brexit elephant in the room. Yes, of course bad weather is a problem, but that is something we have to deal with. But Brexit was self-inflicted. Time for the Tories to admit it's been a disaster, and set out a programme to change that - or, better still, call a GE.
Taking some marginal land out of food production makes sense. In Scotland, where I am, sheep farming on the uplands has caused damage to the landscape and ecology whilst producing very little food and only a tiny number of jobs.
Britain couldn't feed itself in the 1940's when the population was only 40 million. Bring back rationing, this would keep the people who live in the past happy.
It's interesting that Tom Bradshaw from the NFU was happy to mention the Ukraine effect on farming but not the Brexit effect, despite talking about supply problems to food security. He actually stated we live on an island - an implication the the EU market has no relevance....
They did the same when interviewing the head of a haulage company who was critical of brexit because it was costing her company as much as £5,000 extra per lorry due to border problems, regulation etc. They cut all her criticism of Brexit out.
I recall when the Brexit vote result was announced during the small hours, David (I'm asking a further 20 questions and not giving you a chance to answer the first one) Dimblebore looked and sounded disappointed.
Brexit Backing Corporation Anyone would think the Tories are trying to get the rural/farmer vote, asking them to just forget the damage of the last 5 years Also - what a ridiculous government we have - to not consider what happens with terrible weather/crops to feed the nation, whilst putting up trade barriers. They go on about ‘common sense’ - by which they mean the opposite- ideology.
Does Helen seriously imagine there will be a Tory govt?! Surely the question should be what's the Labour plan and possibly why have the Toey govt done nothing post 2016, it's not like the risk wasnt predictable... Oh yes, BBC, not the sort of question you ask.
They are a couple of questions that have been asked many times. Answers are there none. It really doesn't matter for which colour rosette you vote, the end result will be the same. The government and establishment will continue to obey the requirements of their Lords and masters, whose aims are not in line with the benefit demanded by the UK Population.
And people cant afford to buy food. Utterly bonkers! We can't grow enough food. We import, we export, only now we cant even do that. There are no plans. We never ever seem to hace a plan.😮
I have a question about a local supply. Near Farnborough + Aldershot there seems to be a big problem getting Parsnips. Has UK supply been hit by the wet conditions, or have UK farmers stopped growing this crop?
all i heard in this video was - The Weather - Tax Paid Funding - Not Eating enough vegetables & fruit - Food Security - And supermarkets to be less market lead but take the weather away from the notes above, nothing else was explained in full, the rest was sound bites.
As an island in WW2 we realised how vital it was to feed our population with the “Dig for Victory” campaign but the era of cheap oil has lulled us into dependency on imported food. Brexit has revealed that dependency makes us very vulnerable as a country but it’s extremely profitable for the big food corporations, fossil fuel & transport companies (though miserable for the lorry drivers). If only we had government support for British farmers (farmers not just landowners).
I support Brexit but this incompetent government has no plan for the UK. If we only grow 1/3 of our food the opportunity for British farmers is tremendous .Don’t worry about exporting feed the British people first. But we need a goverment that’s understands and is willing to support farmers. Food security and Energy security should be priority for any goverment.
It is a good idea if all those cut by the BBC or Sky or others put their original comments back in. I note with Liz & others critical of Government policies such as Phil of "A Different Bias' that when I restart those videos they go back to the beginning. This does not happen with videos that take a Government line. This over some years & consistently. I find it impossible to believe that this is coincidence.

Great post, in fact as Minister for business and trade Kemi Badenoch backed off and very few ‘EU regulations’ embedded into UK regulations have been removed. Why? Well once she actually took office as a minister she discovered that EU regulations are based on international regulations set sector by sector by expert technical bodies, indeed often these international regulations were set by expert bodies called and paid for by the EU because of the three ‘big gorillas’ of the world trade jungle , the EU, the USA and China - the EU and it’s ecosystem of 19 (soon to be 20) comprehensive FTA’s with other developed nations is the only one that is still committed to the GATT/WTO concept of global trade being a level playing field where all nations big and small follow the same rules and disputes are arbitrated by neutral referees.

Hence common rules do exist and Badenoch found out that scrapping scores of ‘EU rules’ was in fact scrapping international rules - the very rules that the UK rolled over into the new bilateral trade deals it has with a number of nations.
@@ab-ym3bf during the transition period when Truss was Minister in charge of making new trading deals the model that was adopted was to take the trade deal the EU already had with that nation (and the deal the UK had been using) and then roll it over as a template for a new bilateral deal between the UK and that nation. This involved rolling over the scores of sectoral agreements of mutual equivalence of standards (MEA’s) which get around all the myriads of non tariff barriers (NTB’s) in modern trade between developed economies. NTB’s are essentially sets of standards and they are much deeper than you think. For example in a Sanitary Phytosanitary Agreement (SPS) which is an MEA covering all the NTB’s in trade in food, fish, agriculture etc, there are not only standards about quality of the food but also about the certification systems and the qualifications of those employees of those certification bodies. So right down to things like standards for the training of the veterinary surgeons who inspect the produce. Hence MEA’s and NTB’s are complex and detailed and international in reach. So Liz Truss was happy to roll these over into the new bilateral UK free trade agreements (FTA’s) with nations like Japan. However it’s curious that the EU-UK Trade & Cooperation Agreement (TCA) has next to no MEA’s so in no way is it a comprehensive fit-for-purpose FTA. Why no MEA’s in the TCA? It’s here that the Brexiter’s EU derangement syndrome kicks in. As Michel Barnier noted in his now published diary, during the transition period he asked Lord Frost when the UKG would be sitting down and negotiating all the needed MEA’s and in particular an SPS deal (this was specifically promised as part of the implementation of the Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP) and Frost told him that the UKG had no intention of signing any MEA’s with the EU and that instead the EU must just accept the UK as a ‘sovereign equal’ and with no binding agreements! It’s the Brexiter ‘we can have our cake and eat it’ delusion. In the case of the NIP we also now know Johnson and Frost had told the DUP they would not implement the NIP which is why Johnson openly told the DUP they could bin any paperwork about a NI-GB customs border. Frost himself later wrote a self congratulatory article in the Telegraph saying that ‘we signed just to get Brexit done but had no intention of every honouring the NIP’. The EU and USA both warned that failure to honour the NIP would end trade and diplomatic relations not just between the UK and EU but between the US as well. Johnson dug his heels in and for over a year talks in all fronts froze and eventually Sunak realised the damage and negotiated the Windsor Framework which implements the NIP via bespoke MEA’s only applicable to NI. Rees-Mogg later said that the EU should just accept the UK as equal and that there should be no customs borders at all - in effect asking for all the privileges of the single market but not being in it. The disconnect is that the UKG did roll over and sign all the MEAs with other nations like Japan because they knew full well that no other nation would buy the nonsense that no legally binding agreements were needed. So right now absent the needed MEA’s in the TCA the EU has taken a pragmatic approach. UK rules still mirror EU rules since the UK only left the EU recently and because the UK bound itself to keeping international standards in its other new trade deals so the EU unilaterally accepts UK certification on imports from the UK for now but requires the paperwork be seen with every consignment arriving at a port of entry to the EU. This hugely adds cost and delay for UK exporters to the EU. If there was trust due to a signed MEA then the paperwork and inspections would be minimalised. Brexiter Badenoch soon learned that if she did scrap what she called ‘EU rules’ embedded in UK law then that would end trade with not just the EU but also with many other nations.
@@epincion the roll-over deals the UK got are, afaik, only temporary deals so that the UK would get some time to get it's ducks in a row. Hence why the other partners accepted all the existing MEA etc stipulations in the copy-pasted deals. Once those deadlines pass, and proper negotiations will start to replace those roll-over deals the UK will be confronted with the lacking rules, standards, institutions and other requirements to function as a stand alone WTO member.I'm not sure the UK has even filed all the necessary tables with WTO yet. For sure the 2025 review of the TCA will be where the EU once again will have top open the eyes of the UK, since so far they still do not comply. Setting the TCA on shaker grounds unless Starmer has shown to be making some progress in that direction.
@@ab-ym3bf I agree and the big stumbling block for the Tory UKG has been its ideological exceptionalism (a hangover of the attitude from days of Empire and it’s Imperial Preferences), when the reality is that the UK now a middling size power with a declining economy is going to have to accept dynamic equivalence whereby it has to automatically update changes in EU/EEC rules in order to trade in goods as efficiently as is possible as a third party with the EU and it’s wider system ecosystem of FTA’s. The incoming Labour Government might be more willing to grasp the nettle although they also are fundamentally an English and Nationalist party just like the Tories (and by Nationalism I don’t mean racial but the ‘we are exceptional’ attitude).
@@epincion Then imagine that Johnson used the total killer no deal BREXIT as a means of pressure to get sectoral agreements with the EU. Before that it was already May! Johnson was apparently extreme, so much so that he received a tough message from Barnier! After that, Johnson also knew that BREXIT was going wrong. Barnier wrote a book about the BREXIT process and excerpts on the internet are really bad. His negotiating strategy has become a compenium. If you look at how Barnier proceeded, you'll know what the EU will do with GB in the future.
The BBC were always unashamedly advocates for brexit and anti- EU. Their content barely covers mainland Europe nor acknowledges it’s very existence. Little that happens in the EU concerns the BBC. Anything in the Middle East or England or the Tory party is their principle focus
Time after time after time after time, the basic facts of life have to be explained, even to people who are old enough to know better. Everything on TV has an allotted time slot. Of necessity whatever goes on in whatever programme it is must fit in to that time slot. Discussions nearly always take longer than the time slot allowed and this means that cuts must take place. It goes without saying that everyone who speaks thinks that everything they say is wise and precious and should not under any circumstances be cut. Ms. Webster is no exception, and like everyone else, she is wrong. P.S. It's also true that whatever cuts are made will be blamed on bias of one sort or another.
Our local fields are ploughed up to the edge now and no stubble left in winter . No space for wildlife which was previously funded by the EU . Without our biodiversity we are nothing .
It serves you right for speaking to the BBC, everyone knows they’re bent and twisted, did you really think they wouldn’t distort what you said to suit their woke agenda?
The thing is , how do we know which problems today are due to Brexit itself and which are due to the Tories incompetence. Personally, I think the economic state of the UK wouldn't be too different ,in the long term, if we are in or out of the EU. The problems are more due to this government of idiots.
The requirements for making Brexit work has been totally ignored. Incompetence and mismanagement has ruled particularly amongst those who will happily undermine the countries fortunes to ensure that Brexit doesn’t work.

@@msmango6354 why particularly? They voted not that differently from the average English public.
Except Patrick Minford, who got to be on TV a lot proclaiming the destruction of manufacturing in the UK, which he didn't seem too bothered about for reasons best known to himself.
You can't blame everything on Boris and Co.
There has Always been a strong anti EEC/EU sentiment in the UK from all sides in the UK.
The Ulster Unionists have always been against the EU. The left (and not just hard left) of the Labour Party have been anti EU.
I could go on but you would point blank state that I'm wrong.
Unfortunately for you, WE in the EU decide who joins OUR union.
There needs to be unanimous support amongst the EU 27.
That will happen when shrimps whistle in the Ural mountains.
The EU has enough problems to deal with without inviting back the disUnited Kingdom. You lot are always fighting amongst yourselves if you're not fighting with us.
One wonders what else the BBC have decided that we "DIDN'T NEED" to hear ? Or didnt need to know about.
Pro tip, record it yourself also next time. They do this a lot and theyll do it again
Or demand an unedited copy of the interview, if nothing else it will make the editor think twice about making drastic cuts.
Vote rejoin EU
There won't be a vote for many years.
@@johnwright9372 I think it's a reference to the political party with that name
Vote for who ? None of the political parties are supporting a new referendum. Badenoch gleefully announced the removal of 400 EU regulations . All these thousands of EU regulations would have to be reintroduced along with all the regulations that have been introduced since leaving the EU. It’s a monumental task for any pro rejion party
@@dantownsend4246in fact Badenoch backed off and very few ‘EU regulations’ embedded into UK regulations have been removed. Why?
Well once she actually took office as a minister she discovered that EU regulations are based on international regulations set sector by sector by expert technical bodies, indeed often these international regulations were set by expert bodies called and paid for by the EU because of the three ‘big gorillas’ of the world trade jungle , the EU, the USA and China - the EU and it’s ecosystem of 19 (soon to be 20) comprehensive FTA’s with other developed nations is the only one that is still committed to the GATT/WTO concept of global trade being a level playing field where all nations big and small follow the same rules and disputes are arbitrated by neutral referees.
The US and China are retreating back to the big power mercantilism of the former imperial powers where trade with them is entirely on their own rules that suit them and disadvantage others.
Hence common rules do exist and Badenoch found out that scrapping scores of ‘EU rules’ was in fact scrapping international rules - the very rules that the UK rolled over into the new bilateral trade deals it has with a number of nations.
@@dantownsend4246and yet there are 10 countries in the queue to become member that come from base zero and manage to do it.
Lets face it, the problem of EU membership isn't so much on aligning with legislation as it is meeting the Copenhagen criteria and gaining some trustworthy eas with the sitting members.
No surprise that the BBC censored your remarks - after all they are good little doggies who sit up and listen to ‘His Masters Voice’
Thank you for that report Liz. I will submit this information into my future projections. It seems like the perfect storm is brewing over the UK right now, and, I for one am very concerned and have been so since approximately 2010/11 during the Cameron Administration. Once again, Thanks!
Your most welcome! You and your family be safe on travels!
Don't wish to be pedantic but it was Camers and his sidekick Cleggers who were ruling the roost. Never trust a Tory BUT never EVER trust a Lib Dem.
It's a bloody outrage.
They want't tell the truth
well said. Am amazed anyone is still watching the BBC.
Thank you Liz. Keep calling out the BBC who used be an unbiased corporation. Now it is a Tory party PR spokesperson.
We hear this every year ... since we left the EU!!! But surprisingly there are no shortages of fresh food in Continental Europe!!!
Also expiry dates are getting shorter. I have never had to throw things out like this before. Things go off so fast now.
@@thecheesefactor You have noticed this as well. Even M&S produce is looking world weary. Just what the hell have we done to ourselves?
Couldn't say it enough could they, when the vote was taking place. Now it's all gone wrong they have to keep it all quiet!
More money for fruit producers? That will upset Jacob Reet Smugg, he hates fruit and says we shouldn't bother to produce it, when we can get cheaper fruit from around the world? He didn't do Arithmetic/Mathematics while in his formative years, did he?.
We'll only known once his formative years are behind him.
@@ab-ym3bf Yes. That will be a shock for him. To realise he is dying, and he hasn't done anything worthwhile his whole life.

He hates fruit? Poor bastard is he constipated then? Oh wait..........
Point to the top five ways the tories have improved the lives of ordinary citizens in the last 14 years. Even the BBC radio is falling apart with endless repeats because of cuts in funding.
Despicable that our broadcast network is so badly run , horrible people in charge
When Cameron and co. arrived in 2010, there was an unwritten rule to put Tories into top jobs across government and all parts of the civil service, and also the BBC and anywhere else they could. Another expression of this was the rise of GB News, achieved alongside changing things at Ofcom so it would not shut them down.
Putin loves Brexit.
I wish Putin was our PM.
'We have to move on' / 'We mustn't reopen old wounds' / 'We must not be divisive' / 'People are bored of Brexit'.
All basically true. There's only a few vocal fanatics still trying refight the lost Battle of Brexit. Most have accepted we never belonged and moved on.

They have also ramped up their use of Solar radiation management , geoengineering and so wrecking our weather to ensure crops don't grow.
it's total madness what happening, they have killed farming and food production
Really? By giving our own farmers a captive market unconstrained by the CAP??
@@paullarne agin you understand nothing the CAP is a good thing it made sure that farmers where paid , and food was of a good standerd and it also protected frammers, it was a food policy for all farmers where is our food policy ?????? please where ????? go and do some reading about it and why it has worked for 50 years
Very good as usual BUT unfortunately European farmers (and Australian and Ukrainian) have all had their own crises (heat,drought, war etc) so there literally isnt any spare food readily available (of the varieties usually bought)and this year has hardly got started in the west (Europe) so sorry UK you are a long way down the list of deserving causes.
Selling food into the UK is about making profit. If checks and red tape erode profitability the huge companies that export food into the UK might not do it, if they can't make a worthwhile profit.
that is disgusting they cut you off , BBC that we pay for not being fair to the public by showing everything and cut any criticism of the Tory government is shameful , they have screwed up us farmers with their lies over Brexit and devastation of farm income , and the BBC having non of it , keep going Liz , I wish C4 would do something on this we may get a balanced view
Channel 4 is just as bad as the BBC if not worse.
@@helen677 well lets be honest they are not very good are they really
People can't see what's happening and it's extremely worrying.
He who controls the weather controls the world.
Tory ankers, ohh my tourets getting bad
"I've cut them back in" 😂, the power of social media. Lots of things I disagree on with you, but to this I say well done ms Webster.
You have yo save farming and all UK
Anything but address the issue of Brexit. Shame on this government, who are stil unwilling to admit there's a Brexit elephant in the room.
Yes, of course bad weather is a problem, but that is something we have to deal with. But Brexit was self-inflicted. Time for the Tories to admit it's been a disaster, and set out a programme to change that - or, better still, call a GE.
Taking some marginal land out of food production makes sense. In Scotland, where I am, sheep farming on the uplands has caused damage to the landscape and ecology whilst producing very little food and only a tiny number of jobs.
Britain couldn't feed itself in the 1940's when the population was only 40 million. Bring back rationing, this would keep the people who live in the past happy.
Was that during WW2?
LOL The IndyRef campaign from 2014 says haud ma pint. 😂😂😂
The country needs to be a republic period.
It's interesting that Tom Bradshaw from the NFU was happy to mention the Ukraine effect on farming but not the Brexit effect, despite talking about supply problems to food security.
He actually stated we live on an island - an implication the the EU market has no relevance....
The EU has become a basket case . Even though I voted Remain I now think we are better off out of it.
Respect! Well done, Liz! Keep the message going. We're listening.
His wife is invested in EU and other nations food industry would be a good guess.
They did the same when interviewing the head of a haulage company who was critical of brexit because it was costing her company as much as £5,000 extra per lorry due to border problems, regulation etc. They cut all her criticism of Brexit out.
They know Brexit is terrible and an utter disaster. The powers that be are trying to manage public outrage. It's fear.
I recall when the Brexit vote result was announced during the small hours, David (I'm asking a further 20 questions and not giving you a chance to answer the first one) Dimblebore looked and sounded disappointed.
Good for you not taking censorship. Ridiculous i thought bbc breakfast was live!
Brexit Backing Corporation
Anyone would think the Tories are trying to get the rural/farmer vote, asking them to just forget the damage of the last 5 years
Also - what a ridiculous government we have - to not consider what happens with terrible weather/crops to feed the nation, whilst putting up trade barriers.
They go on about ‘common sense’ - by which they mean the opposite- ideology.
When it came to Brexit, the farmers won, we lost, they should get over it and enjoy their winnings.
Deliberate cloud seeding to destroy farmers crops.
Love hearing the truth from our farmers
He is doing as he is told by the WEF
Censorship. Simple.
The BBC needs closing down, I don't get the point of it.
For me BBC radio is still fab. I mainly listen to the World Service, R4 and R6. I agree the telly is rubbish but a lot of people still watch it.
They still produce some good programmes but their political and news coverage is so biased now.
Does Helen seriously imagine there will be a Tory govt?! Surely the question should be what's the Labour plan and possibly why have the Toey govt done nothing post 2016, it's not like the risk wasnt predictable... Oh yes, BBC, not the sort of question you ask.
They are a couple of questions that have been asked many times. Answers are there none. It really doesn't matter for which colour rosette you vote, the end result will be the same. The government and establishment will continue to obey the requirements of their Lords and masters, whose aims are not in line with the benefit demanded by the UK Population.
@@keithhutchins8966 I hope you're wrong but I fear you may be right.
Dig for Britain again !why do the uniparty want to import all the basic needs of the U.K. when we can grow and manufacture most of our needs!!
😂😂😂 Vote for any independent candidate to get Britain 🇬🇧 back on track, not these Trators.
And people cant afford to buy food. Utterly bonkers! We can't grow enough food. We import, we export, only now we cant even do that. There are no plans. We never ever seem to hace a plan.😮
I have a question about a local supply. Near Farnborough + Aldershot there seems to be a big problem getting Parsnips. Has UK supply been hit by the wet conditions, or have UK farmers stopped growing this crop?
Simple way to get your 5 fruit or veg a day: have 5 redcurrants, blackcurrants or raspberries/strawberries.
all i heard in this video was
- The Weather
- Tax Paid Funding
- Not Eating enough vegetables & fruit
- Food Security
- And supermarkets to be less market lead
but take the weather away from the notes above, nothing else was explained in full, the rest was sound bites.
As an island in WW2 we realised how vital it was to feed our population with the “Dig for Victory” campaign but the era of cheap oil has lulled us into dependency on imported food. Brexit has revealed that dependency makes us very vulnerable as a country but it’s extremely profitable for the big food corporations, fossil fuel & transport companies (though miserable for the lorry drivers). If only we had government support for British farmers (farmers not just landowners).

Thanks for the video!
Effects of Brexit on Farming
You’re going to pay more ,across the board, you just screwed yourselves! 😢
It’s an insulting charade. Don’t believe a word that this government mimes.
Oh dear, you said too much!
I support Brexit but this incompetent government has no plan for the UK.
If we only grow 1/3 of our food the opportunity for British farmers is tremendous .Don’t worry about exporting feed the British people first. But we need a goverment that’s understands and is willing to support farmers.
Food security and Energy security should be priority for any goverment.
It is a good idea if all those cut by the BBC or Sky or others put their original comments back in. I note with Liz & others critical of Government policies such as Phil of "A Different Bias' that when I restart those videos they go back to the beginning. This does not happen with videos that take a Government line. This over some years & consistently. I find it impossible to believe that this is coincidence.
Big Brother Censor strikes again... Luckily they are impartial with absolutely no spin 🤪
Fork you summit for farmers. At least they are still allowed to block roads and stop traffic as a means of protest.
Many farmers voted for Brexit...!!
Sadly ,the BBC has been nobbled by the Tories.
Political education takes time. You're learning how the system works.
"The National Farmers’ Union lobbied to increase the amount of pesticides allowed in the UK’s drinking water and to allow farmers to spread manure more frequently as part of a post-Brexit loosening of environmental regulations" The Guardian , May 10th 2024
Why didn't the farmer's union chief mention Brexit and trade barriers? Or was that also edited out accordingly?
Don't worry; the EU, Australia and New Zealand will provide. At a price of course!!
why do farmers keep voting the tories in, even in the local elections the farming area I live in voted them in again...
Great post, in fact as Minister for business and trade Kemi Badenoch backed off and very few ‘EU regulations’ embedded into UK regulations have been removed.
Why?
Well once she actually took office as a minister she discovered that EU regulations are based on international regulations set sector by sector by expert technical bodies, indeed often these international regulations were set by expert bodies called and paid for by the EU because of the three ‘big gorillas’ of the world trade jungle , the EU, the USA and China - the EU and it’s ecosystem of 19 (soon to be 20) comprehensive FTA’s with other developed nations is the only one that is still committed to the GATT/WTO concept of global trade being a level playing field where all nations big and small follow the same rules and disputes are arbitrated by neutral referees.
The US and China are retreating back to the big power mercantilism of the former imperial powers where trade with them is entirely on their own rules that suit them and disadvantage others.
Hence common rules do exist and Badenoch found out that scrapping scores of ‘EU rules’ was in fact scrapping international rules - the very rules that the UK rolled over into the new bilateral trade deals it has with a number of nations.
True, but on the other hand, the UK sees no problem in violating international rules when they see fit. Maybe it was a leap too far for now..
@@ab-ym3bf during the transition period when Truss was Minister in charge of making new trading deals the model that was adopted was to take the trade deal the EU already had with that nation (and the deal the UK had been using) and then roll it over as a template for a new bilateral deal between the UK and that nation.
This involved rolling over the scores of sectoral agreements of mutual equivalence of standards (MEA’s) which get around all the myriads of non tariff barriers (NTB’s) in modern trade between developed economies.
NTB’s are essentially sets of standards and they are much deeper than you think.
For example in a Sanitary Phytosanitary Agreement (SPS) which is an MEA covering all the NTB’s in trade in food, fish, agriculture etc, there are not only standards about quality of the food but also about the certification systems and the qualifications of those employees of those certification bodies. So right down to things like standards for the training of the veterinary surgeons who inspect the produce.
Hence MEA’s and NTB’s are complex and detailed and international in reach.
So Liz Truss was happy to roll these over into the new bilateral UK free trade agreements (FTA’s) with nations like Japan.
However it’s curious that the EU-UK Trade & Cooperation Agreement (TCA) has next to no MEA’s so in no way is it a comprehensive fit-for-purpose FTA.
Why no MEA’s in the TCA?
It’s here that the Brexiter’s EU derangement syndrome kicks in. As Michel Barnier noted in his now published diary, during the transition period he asked Lord Frost when the UKG would be sitting down and negotiating all the needed MEA’s and in particular an SPS deal (this was specifically promised as part of the implementation of the Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP) and Frost told him that the UKG had no intention of signing any MEA’s with the EU and that instead the EU must just accept the UK as a ‘sovereign equal’ and with no binding agreements!
It’s the Brexiter ‘we can have our cake and eat it’ delusion.
In the case of the NIP we also now know Johnson and Frost had told the DUP they would not implement the NIP which is why Johnson openly told the DUP they could bin any paperwork about a NI-GB customs border. Frost himself later wrote a self congratulatory article in the Telegraph saying that ‘we signed just to get Brexit done but had no intention of every honouring the NIP’. The EU and USA both warned that failure to honour the NIP would end trade and diplomatic relations not just between the UK and EU but between the US as well.
Johnson dug his heels in and for over a year talks in all fronts froze and eventually Sunak realised the damage and negotiated the Windsor Framework which implements the NIP via bespoke MEA’s only applicable to NI.
Rees-Mogg later said that the EU should just accept the UK as equal and that there should be no customs borders at all - in effect asking for all the privileges of the single market but not being in it.
The disconnect is that the UKG did roll over and sign all the MEAs with other nations like Japan because they knew full well that no other nation would buy the nonsense that no legally binding agreements were needed.
So right now absent the needed MEA’s in the TCA the EU has taken a pragmatic approach.
UK rules still mirror EU rules since the UK only left the EU recently and because the UK bound itself to keeping international standards in its other new trade deals so the EU unilaterally accepts UK certification on imports from the UK for now but requires the paperwork be seen with every consignment arriving at a port of entry to the EU. This hugely adds cost and delay for UK exporters to the EU. If there was trust due to a signed MEA then the paperwork and inspections would be minimalised.
Brexiter Badenoch soon learned that if she did scrap what she called ‘EU rules’ embedded in UK law then that would end trade with not just the EU but also with many other nations.
@@epincion the roll-over deals the UK got are, afaik, only temporary deals so that the UK would get some time to get it's ducks in a row.
Hence why the other partners accepted all the existing MEA etc stipulations in the copy-pasted deals.
Once those deadlines pass, and proper negotiations will start to replace those roll-over deals the UK will be confronted with the lacking rules, standards, institutions and other requirements to function as a stand alone WTO member.I'm not sure the UK has even filed all the necessary tables with WTO yet.
For sure the 2025 review of the TCA will be where the EU once again will have top open the eyes of the UK, since so far they still do not comply. Setting the TCA on shaker grounds unless Starmer has shown to be making some progress in that direction.
@@ab-ym3bf I agree and the big stumbling block for the Tory UKG has been its ideological exceptionalism (a hangover of the attitude from days of Empire and it’s Imperial Preferences), when the reality is that the UK now a middling size power with a declining economy is going to have to accept dynamic equivalence whereby it has to automatically update changes in EU/EEC rules in order to trade in goods as efficiently as is possible as a third party with the EU and it’s wider system ecosystem of FTA’s.
The incoming Labour Government might be more willing to grasp the nettle although they also are fundamentally an English and Nationalist party just like the Tories (and by Nationalism I don’t mean racial but the ‘we are exceptional’ attitude).
@@epincion Then imagine that Johnson used the total killer no deal BREXIT as a means of pressure to get sectoral agreements with the EU. Before that it was already May!
Johnson was apparently extreme, so much so that he received a tough message from Barnier!
After that, Johnson also knew that BREXIT was going wrong. Barnier wrote a book about the BREXIT process and excerpts on the internet are really bad. His negotiating strategy has become a compenium.
If you look at how Barnier proceeded, you'll know what the EU will do with GB in the future.
The BBC were always unashamedly advocates for brexit and anti- EU. Their content barely covers mainland Europe nor acknowledges it’s very existence. Little that happens in the EU concerns the BBC. Anything in the Middle East or England or the Tory party is their principle focus
Farming is finished in England. Time to accept that fact. I haven’t yet heard a ‘sorry’ from farmers yet. Stupidity does not guarantee sympathy.
The BBC ..........What do you expect when you have Tory Girl laura Iceberg as a so called political "reporter"
Presumably farmers will now strongly support serious action on anthropogenic global warming. Won't they?
Time after time after time after time, the basic facts of life have to be explained, even to people who are old enough to know better.
Everything on TV has an allotted time slot. Of necessity whatever goes on in whatever programme it is must fit in to that time slot. Discussions nearly always take longer than the time slot allowed and this means that cuts must take place. It goes without saying that everyone who speaks thinks that everything they say is wise and precious and should not under any circumstances be cut.
Ms. Webster is no exception, and like everyone else, she is wrong.
P.S. It's also true that whatever cuts are made will be blamed on bias of one sort or another.
Our local fields are ploughed up to the edge now and no stubble left in winter . No space for wildlife which was previously funded by the EU . Without our biodiversity we are nothing .
The BBC again!
So much for the "British Free Press" ...🙄😒
It serves you right for speaking to the BBC, everyone knows they’re bent and twisted, did you really think they wouldn’t distort what you said to suit their woke agenda?
The thing is , how do we know which problems today are due to Brexit itself and which are due to the Tories incompetence. Personally, I think the economic state of the UK wouldn't be too different ,in the long term, if we are in or out of the EU. The problems are more due to this government of idiots.
The requirements for making Brexit work has been totally ignored. Incompetence and mismanagement has ruled particularly amongst those who will happily undermine the countries fortunes to ensure that Brexit doesn’t work.
Didn’t the farmers and their union support Brexit?
Sunak.....not voted....emplaced. OUT
