If you want to go all Patrick Minford, then we should just shut down all car production immediately. After all, we would all be better off. Wouldn't we?
He isn't suggesting shutting anything down in anticipation. He is suggesting allowing free trade so every country ends up doing what it's best at, that way we do end up better off. As far as individual industries are concerned, the Swallows and Amazons principle should apply.Back in the seventies the UK motorcycle industry could have been protected by tariffs. Instead we had free trade, customers got better cheaper bikes, and when John Bloor decided to revive Triumph he didn't lobby for tariffs or government protection, instead hitting on the idea of building better bikes.

Gove has just announced that he is not backing Boris, but standing himself.
And at the same time he said Boris can't provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead...ouch!
tshow his mendacity delivered and he has to continue to "scratch" a living as a journalist, because now that they have refused to unite behind him he is not going to be PM, the self-obsessed buffoon. JagLover said:
He won't get the crown but he may well take some votes from May and help Boris. Chancellor if Boris wins? Osborne did well before being part of the Pinocchio Effect and has lost out by backing the wrong horse.Kermit power said:

We're being totally out played.
Totally outplayed...when exactly did their incessant cajoling to invoke A50 work? I missed the announcement from CMD that you must have seen somewhere.Being outplayed relates to Iceland and football not the EU and Remainian rhetoric, and Iceland were also sensible enough to withdraw their EU membership application recently.
Why have they stopped going on about article 50? Because the longer our idiot leaders dither and prevaricate and don't do anything at all, the longer banks and other businesses have to say "sod it, let's just move to Frankfurt for a bit of stability".

So do you think he is standing to purposely split the vote?Zod said:

You weren't exactly Mystic Meg with the referendum, we can now wait to see how wrong you are with the Tory leadership.

So do you think he is standing to purposely split the vote?I'm not convinced he wants to be PM, which was part of the pop-up.

what if boris and gove have worked this out between them after realising there is a big movement against boris within the senior conservatives ? they have decided gove has a better chance of winning. he is running late for the press conference to announce his candidacy ,what is the betting he announces he is no longer running for the leadership ?
I thought Sarah Vine's email made it clear that the problem with Boris is that Murdoch and Dacre don't like him?TTwiggy said:

He is most certainly not tag teaming with Boris. Greg66 said:

So, a flawed analysis and the playful edit was unnecessary.
