I could say.... on 18:51 - Sep 4 with 1592 views | wkj | A no-deal exit from the EU would probably see the economy shrink by less than previously estimated, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney has said. Probably because a big chunk of the economy shrink has happened already, more than he might have anticipated when first making the claim | |

I could say.... on 18:55 - Sep 4 with 1567 views | WeWereZombies | There are always error bars along the points of economic predictions so these new forecasts may be no more of a successful indicator of a, relatively, optimistic no-deal result than earlier ones were relatively pessimistic. And they assume that no other major World event nixes the forecasts, we are more vulnerable than we otherwise would be. I think the BBC live feed has moved on and left your second link defunct by the way. | |

No....I don't think so. I was at a major Japanese car manufacturer today. The senior managers and UK Board member I spoke to all feel No Deal will be a pain in the ass for a very short while but because they are so big, the EU and British Governments will make sure friction will be minimal. | |

I rather fear that this Totally Real Major Japanese Business Dude, like you, is overestimating the competence of the UK government and the ease in which a trading deal will be agreed. The spectres of free movement, customs unions and monies owed will be back in the wake of a Blue Passports and No Foreigners Brexit and we won't be in a strong enough position to say no but a Boris-led administration will still be stupid enough to posture about standing up to foreigner rather than doing what's best for the country.

they believe that both sides will sort it out darn quick. Having said that, they have made contingencies. | |

The EU have been planning for a lot longer and I suspect, far more competently, than we have. The Grayling ferries farce anyone? The recent revelations from Dr David Nicholl anyone? | |

'Since November'. Suggesting it's been done before the current incompetents decided that Blue Passports and No Foreigners was a better option than Let's Try Not To Shaft Ourselves Too Hard, EH? | |

We're apparently not just at the moment, but a lot happened between November and this summer. | |

I also suspect that a fair few of these arrangements would be likely null and void in teh event of a no-deal, as well. | |

Same as when none of the same experts predicted the biggest market crash in 80 years. And no good blaming the current decrease as that has been caused by the US / China tariff war you only have to look at the German economy to understand that impact, Germany will be in recession soon. | | | |
I could say.... on 19:52 - Sep 4 with 1377 views | Churchman | One of the problems in helping people understand is the amount of misinformation out there. Journalists on this subject up until 3 months ago generally took a nugget of information and made a story. Most of what was reported, including the BBC, until then was distorted rubbish. I can’t think it’s changed much in recent months. This was certainly the case with no deal preparation. I suspect Carney’s changing view is more to do with the hard work that’s been done than anything else. | | | |

If the UK and the EU agree to implement everything that has already been agreed would this constitute a deal, making today's debate a waste of time. | |

Sooner or later, there will have to be a deal. Whatt is still, just about in our hands, is if we're negotiating from a position of relative strength as things stand or one of weakness, in a hard recession. | |

He's only downgraded his prediction from 'utterly horrific clusterf*ck' to 'horrific clusterf*ck' though, when it comes down to it. It's not predicting fairies and unicorns, it's predicting a crash on similar scale to 2008. Only we'll be going it alone, having pissed off our biggest trading partners this time. | |

Most of what has been agreed will be implemented with or without a deal. This stuff was never a debating issue for the EU or the UK, so you make a very valid point. | | | |

Yes, it would, or at least some species of Withdrawal Agreement. But there are clearly many areas which have not yet been dealt with (e.g. the intra-Irish border) - which is why today's debate is happening. | |
