I'll look out the link later. A survey was done through Queens was published today
One of the questions was on the level of trust that the public had in each 'player'
Trust in the UK government is at 4%

Apologies. That was fake news from me. Trust in the UK government actually rose. From 5% to 6%

The point was to harness vaguely eurosceptic sentiment as a vehicle to become Prime Minister.rick_chasey said:1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

It's the new UKCA certification that I'm enjoying at the moment.0

I read some comments by one truck driver about the whole problem. Apparently, some companies employed drivers directly and are currently not having many problems. Other companies relied on agencies for drivers and this is where the problem is as the agencies no longer have the same supply of cheap labour. These companies are now considering hiring directly, but due to the shortage, they are struggling to hire especially as they only want to pay the same rates as before.kingstongraham said:censored getting real

He was a fan of refining some of existing rules.0 -
For anybody who ever worried about Chinese companies dodging VAT they will be pleased to know that the EU is implementing a new system that will stop this practise.
Of course this will be bad news for any company in a 3rd country that sells low value goods directly to EU customers0 -
April export figures similar to March's. 2% down on 2019, but still affected by the pandemic.

One assumes this is on the new basis that precludes like for like comparisons. It will be interesting to see what numbers the RoI and EU reportTheBigBean said:April export figures similar to March's. 2% down on 2019, but still affected by the pandemic.

I posted an article about the differences. ONS are very high up my list of people I trust.surrey_commuter said:

The reason they are comparing to 2019 figures is that they don't think 2021 are meaningful. They qualify everything in a way that I dream journalists would.
City AM could obviously be misrepresenting it, but I can't be bothered to make pretty graphs from ONS this time.0 -

Random fact: most 'red tape' (as used in Whitehall) was woven in Wirksworth. How British is that? https://gowirksworth.com/sample-pages/history/ - you can still see the mill where it was all made.1 -
Just had to return a parcel to Italy. Jesus. Three copies of a proforma invoice and a Washington convention declaration. Brexit bonus is that I'll let someone else have the hassle if I can.0

So I was talking to someone senior in the industry about this and they were praying that this sort of thing didn't happen as they cover both the UK and continental Europe, so all divergence does is create double the administrative work load.Stevo_666 said:

So it's not as simple as "fewer regs, better".
There is also of course the question of whether the rules that being changed or removed are sensible or not. The fact the FCA, who are generally better than their continental counterparts, have asked industry to spot the regulatory opportunities for them suggests that material changes aren't that likely.
After all, the FCA was very much the leader on EU FS regulation. No-one took BAFIN seriously even before Wirecard.0 -
Hmm, that's curious, business leaders don't like home-grown UK red tape any more than EU red tape. Maybe the EU wasn't the problem after all..."Whilst Brexit promised less red tape, these reforms go completely against that commitment,” says Jonathan Fisher QC of the firm Bright Line Law.
“Accountants and auditors will be faced with additional regulatory requirements that could stifle growth as much more time will be spent meeting these new measures, which will increase the cost to clients."
“Now that we have left the EU there is the opportunity for a UK domestic definition of PIEs [public interest entities] to include larger firms currently excluded and a far more proportionate approach for smaller, simpler organisations,” BSA’s Fieth adds.
Among the most controversial proposals in the White Paper is a plan to impose fines and bans on directors for inaccuracies in their companies’ accounts. Ministers hope that ensuring directors have “skin in the game” will improve financial reporting and controls.

I am a company director and I would vote against this. Why set up your business in a limited company model to then risk all the downsides of sole ownership.
