Brexit and its risks for the City of London

In this latest Federal Trust video, Graham Bishop describes the growing risks to the City of London from Brexit. He contrasts the methodical approach of the European Union to building its Capital and Banking Union with the confused rhetoric of the British government. He concludes by warning that a smaller City of London will be able to contribute less to the already stretched public finances of the UK. This video is based on a recent report by Graham: fedtrust.co.uk/has-the-city-o...

    Two senior people discussing the most important issue related to Brexit while the rest of the UK is sleeping. Brexit was all about fishing and kippers according to millions. The coming years we will find out where it was really all about but what is very clear from Graham is that huge amounts of capital are flowing out of the UK back into the mainland and this will go on for many years to come.

    If the EU are retrieving more tax receipts to fund their countries so it's hard for me to imagine and that the EU would want to change that. I mean why would the EU trust the UK with financial services ( left out of the TCA) when they're constantly going on about deregulation, it's basically a non-starter for the EU because it creates a risk to the stability of their banking system. Put it to you this way would you allow a bunch of football Hooligans that live next door to be signatures on your bank account? Because I've yet to see any brexit benefit but I suppose you have the innocuous sovereignty that you've always had in Parliament. Has it bore fruit that would benefit the standard of living? If Boris said you're holding all the cards did you stop to think that they may be Jokers?

    When Ireland was forced by the UK via the EU into bailing out the banks, about 40% of the debt was to British investors exposed to the Irish Financial crisis.

    The global financial crash in 2008 damaged Ireland severely. A task group was set up to analyse the causes and how to avert future exposure. In 2014, Civil servant Geraldine Byrne Nason produced a report on how Ireland should prepare for a possible UK exit from the EU. Ireland set to work preparing for that eventuality - 2 years before the actual Brexit referendum. For example. most shipping freight between Ireland and the continent went through Britain. There were just 2 sailings a week between Ireland and France. Now, there are 32 sailings a week to 12 ports in 6 European countries. Can you imagine Boris ever delivering a project like this? Because of all that work, instead of being severely damaged by Brexit, Ireland has thrived since 2016. Geraldine Byrne Nason is now Ireland's ambassador to the United States.

    UK is aiming at (more) deregulation, while the EU is heading for keeping its regulations. „... Well remember, we didn’t move anywhere. We are within the European Union, the United Kingdom have moved in quite a significant way with the vote in 2016. What we are doing in the EU 27 is ensuring that our financial system is fit for purpose for the future. We truly want and desire a relationship with the United Kingdom. The reality of being a third country has come home to roost, if you like. On financial services we are not moving; we will move in a way that strengthens our regulations. .... However, and it’s important to say this, there is no recreating the single market for financial services for the United Kingdom, when they have decided to leave the single market. So what I am saying here very clearly is, change is coming.“ (EU Comissioner on Financial Services, Mairead McGuinness in an interview on 22.01.21)

To this day I cannot fully grasp why England is inflicting it on itself. There seems to be a severe suffering from Empire Withdrawal Syndrome. That’s definite. But there is more than this. This more is affecting all our countries. We are at present as western democracies deciding about our existence in the future as such. We would be doing good working together and show our capacity.

    People underestimate the term "regulatory alignment for energy policies". It will basically mean that if you don't comply, the market will be closed for you. This can be very very nasty for any 3PP. I imagine it will work like this for example: if you produce electric cars in factories who are operational by burning coal, then those cars cannot enter the single market. Sovereignty has its price, it is not just freedom you will get in return for it, although most people who voted for Brexit thought they would.

    Would these issues be addressed by rejoining the SM etc? Or are we set to lose all the business unless and if we can rejoin the EU as a full member. Which seems unlikely for the several years. No one sensible seems to really believe the Singapore on Thames version of Brexit and it’s hard to see voters supporting an approach which would end public services as we have ever known them. So maybe if something can be salvaged, Labour needs to take the political risk and swing round behind the SM at least before a GE, and go for broke. Otherwise in power they stand to be blamed for inexorable decline while the tories peddle a myth of free-market nirvana on the global stage from the opposition side.

    There were always going to be complexities, costs, disruptions plus winners and losers from the UK leaving the EU and as a Leave voter, I put them into the equation when making up my mind which way to go. The greater question, however, was never economic, but rather social. Do we want the UK to be absorbed into a sovereign Europe? Or should we remain a fully sovereign nation? I decided on the latter. Make no mistake, there are attempts by globalists to phase out democracy as a model for government and to replace it with something else - a benign kind of oligarchy - but while maintaining a facade of democracy to lend the governance the impression of legitimacy and prevent public insurrection. To ensure we keep what bit of democracy we have, however imperfect it is, we need governance to be as close to the people as possible and the highly centralised, bureaucratic and authoritarian Brussels behemoth is the antithesis of democratic rule. We are thankfully out of the EU and we need to stay out of their grasp.

    Well done, you put your faith in a first past the post system in which the Tories have overseen the decline of social services and standard of living for the last 13 years. The decline will continue as no UK government can overcome the disadvantages of being outside the Single market. Bravo for your victory.

The Tories were elected by the people and so we have to live with their governance - for better or worse. That's democracy.

    Brexit was never allowed to be a success because of the number of remainers in parliament, the civil service and HOLs. The EU is a failing organisation with countries such as Hungary and Poland reviewing whether they still wish to remain. Also the flood of immigrants caused by open borders is one example of EU policy failure.

Parliament had Remainers, yes and Boris undemocratically got rid of them for only a 43% vote share in 2019, not very democratic that!! But what is the 'right' Brexit based on? Total isolation? Be a North Korea in the North Sea? No! Oh, you mean we needed more Brexiteer motivation to bang on the table and dictate terms to the EU, have all the benefits for zero costs or responsibility of EU membership, effectively subsidisation of the UK? Never going to happen we are not able to exert any such leverage on the infinitely more powerful EU! Hungary and Poland are not abiding by the terms by which they signed up to, so yes, they should leave!

Similar to the UK. The UK however has to deal with the more structural problem of no longer being part of a large bloc, both economical and political. So better ask "have you seen the state of the Uzk recently" and if you do, look past the "Germany is in a recession and we are not" superficial analysis.
