That’s a shame as the UK joined the former in the early hours of this morning, and the latter will become nothing more than a distant memory in the future.

Did you sign the petition?

I love the brexit brethren. Leave the SM to take back control of standards at a cost of 3% of GDP and join CPTPP and give up control on many standards to get 0.08% GDP growth.

The gift that just keeps giving. Sunny uplands just over the next hill.

Briefly popped in for a quick LoL. Nope, nothing's changed, not even the combatants. Makes Rejoining a bit less likely though.

I’m glad you like the Brexiteers so much, & I fully understand why you are so bereft this morning.

The well worn tropes are just that, but do crack on.

PS: I thought it was 4%, so it’s good to see it’s going down already. hehe

Anyone celebrating joining the CPTPP, is tacitly and silently acknowledging the absurdity of leaving the European Single Market. Nicked that from James O'Brien this morning, there's a name that will trigger some of the Brexiteers in here. But he's right.

Not bereft at all, little effect on me now. Fortunately for the UK the brexit party will all but disappear in 2 years and its not hard to withdraw from a treaty. While I am not sure we will rejoin the EU there is a much better case to be made to join EEA/EFTA than CPTPP.

No point in concerning oneself with the tiny percentage of anti brexit people, they will always be anti brexit no matter what the future brings to the U.K. If only they would put their po.itical energy into positive actions,

His stuck in the past shouting at the clouds in his echo chamber. Listen to GBNews for a more positive and balanced view. smile

Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

I would have thought you would be front and centre leading the charge to re-join the EU, or at least be part of a campaign.

JIT is much more difficult when the supplier is 10,000 miles away. That’s not opinion, it’s reality.
No, it's not...

Please let's not get into this nonsense again. Logistics lead times are irrelevant to JIT, logistics lead time variability is.

And is more variable when materials are coming from further afield. Hardly nonsense. Even the most basic of example - ship stuck in Suez canal delaying delivery is more likely when importing from the far east than from France

Nope. Shipping lead times are incredibly stable - calling out a single previously unprecedented event as an example - when Calais and the French ports are regularly disrupted is quite amusing.
