I hope Brexit isn't delayed

He must've been lying. It takes J-C J more than 3 weeks to fill out an EU requisition form for a shiny new gold pen. Which he keeps, natch...

A gold pen? Amateur.

Liam Fox gets (and forgets to declare) Rolexes.....

Russell Scott on Twitter: "Spot the difference....

Yesterday the @tradegovuk updated & revised Minister @LiamFox transparency data for 2017.

(Clue - it’s 2 Rolex’s worth GBP50,000 given to the minister by the Qatar Government that were missed off previous returns)

Easy to forget

Does this mean the UKIP bloke on the radio last week was lying when he said the EU-Japan trade deal was all done in 3 weeks?

According the the guys working at Honda, ships were on their way to the UK with the equipment to build electric cars but was turned back,sometime during one of May's delays...

Who cares - cars will be obsolete in 50 years anyway, we'll all use Unicorns!

That's Jacob's timeframe for the benefits of Brexit.

That is a load of bollocks. Honda never had a plan to develop electric cars in the UK, that was always going to be in Japan.

Have a read on WikiPedia.

Honda UK Manufacturing - Wikipedia

In October 2009, HUM began production of the Honda Jazz, which until then had been imported from Japan. Production of the Jazz at Swindon was halted in 2014, and once again it was imported from Japan only.[14]

In September 2012, Honda announced a £267 million investment programme at the Swindon site. This was to support the introduction of new models of the Civic and CR-V, and a new 1.6 litre diesel engine

All based around diesel being the future. Now which large block of countries were pushing diesel as the "future" due to low CO2 and then suddenly...

And that my friend was the end of investing in Europe for Honda.

Well thing is, Honda has been on a wind down for years, production was at less than 50% capacity and the only model being built there was the Civic, mostly diesel.

So with the EU trade deal signed with Japan (funny how the EU sat on this deal for years, and just suddenly agreed once Brexit became a reality), the impending EU ban on diesels, and the move to developing electric vehicles in Japan, it is no surprise.

Erm, perhaps UK was blocking it from happening? Now that UK is out a lot of other things will happen there - like transaction tax (also known as "stamp duty" in this country)

No dramas. They will be able to retool to produce comfort blankets and nappies for the 48%. Boomed!!

Cruising round the Honda plant entrance in your Allegro at knocking off time, shouting Fook Business at the workers.
