More pantomime fodder. The EU is bankrupt and collapsing. The UK is seen as the cash cow to dig the EU out of the hole, but the UK is bankrupt too!

With the signing ceremony of the Government’s Reset agreement fast
approaching, I was interested to see that the House of Lords European
Affairs Committee report, Dynamic Alignment: A fundamental change, has
finally been published. I gave evidence to the committee in May and was
eager to read its conclusions. Not that I believe the report will
influence the EU, our new masters.
Ironically, the report starts with a complaint about being ignored by the Government:
Our
ability to assess the full prospect of dynamic alignment for the UK was
hampered because the Government declined to provide a Minister to
appear before us until after the next UK-EU summit, now scheduled for 20
November 2026.
It also later complains that:
we
are making this report prior to the publication of the texts of any
dynamic alignment agreements with the EU, or of the European Partnership
Bill. Our report seeks to highlight issues to which the House should be
alert when it comes to consider such documents.
The members of
the House of Lords should probably get used to being ignored if the
Government agrees to dynamic alignment with the EU. They, the MPs and
even Government ministers will have no influence on UK food standards,
agricultural regulations or carbon pricing after this agreement is
signed. Regulations in these areas will simply be imposed on the country
by the EU under ‘Dynamic Alignment’.
Dynamic alignment
basically means our lazy Government will let the EU do its work for it,
making our rules and regulations and even ensuring our companies obey
them. His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs will see its carbon pricing
plans put in the bin as the EU imposes its more complex carbon tariffs
on UK imports....<<<Read More>>>....
