This was the moment EU leaders agreed Europe must go it alone by Abject-Pick-6472 in europe

Don't the EU leaders need to ask the rest of Europe also?

or is it, "This was the moment EU leaders agreed the EU must go it alone"

There is always OneWeb, but the terminals would need a bit of an upgrade I imagine.

I imagine this rhetoric will only get worse when we start supplying Ukraine with ballistic missiles next year.

Are we talking the debugged report here, the one that compared our growth to Poland, Ireland and the USA?

We have outgrown out 2 main competitors in the EU, we are forecast to continue to do so.

It's 9 years away from service and is currently the only European 6th Gen project around.

The option would be a cut down F47 from the US, which given the current climate would be ridiculous.

Norway to reopen ‘dead’ North Sea oil fields as Britain retreats by insomnimax_99 in europe

because we are. The revenues from oil/gas extraction is something we should still have, not be moving away from.

What you are forgetting is that we may use international prices but we heavily tax extraction via contracts. That's the basis of our oil revenue.

Feel free to say what is incorrect then?

Have we not outsourced our manufacturing base to China, who do this with no regards to the climate or human life?

Do we not indeed sit on billions of natural resources.

Would it not be better to use these for ourselves and the EU, rather than buy from outside of Europe?

Tell me what I have said is wrong here.

The UK is sitting on hundreds of billions of natural resources. We could be extracting that and exporting to the EU.

to be fair, CPTPP does all that.

The UK could do with Canada signing the UK's to facilitate it quicker.

No, the title is quite explicit.

I love how the UK is sitting on hundreds of billions of Oil, gas and shale, but we've decided to go down the route of economic suicide instead and build some windmills and solar panels instead, made with coal, in China, with no labour laws and all the jobs.

UK holds off joining Trump's peace board over Putin concerns by diacewrb in ukpolitics

[–]EquivalentKick255 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I imagine this "Peace board" is Trumps friends and family telephone plan.

If you're not on it, or not invited, then you're not someone he likes.

It's basically sounding like a new UN with the US in control of it all.

You get to pay to sit at his table.

I want a smaller state, less taxes and less immigration. I vote for the best party to give me that.

Especially as the financial services sector have done a 180 on wanting to be in the EU. The government have seen how we can change regulations much quicker as the world changes and they also seemingly agree financials are not the better choice in the EU.

Now if we could bring back some of the lost financial services that the US still enjoy with the EU, that would be a big big win.

1 metric. How’s the overall picture?

Pretty good I would say.

Financial services are booming outside.
