Here he is again at Conference, saying footballers ‘taking the knee" is not Neo-Marxist ideology, it’s about showing solidarity…

Taking the knee is woke nonsense.

Not necessarily, but taking the knee is woke nonsense. Btw, the rest of Europe are in no way united about taking the knee.

On topic, however, I can't see a problem with Sefcovic's offer to keep lorry inspections at NI down to "1 or 2 per week". Unless the headline masks some awkward small print.

OK, they may have messed up the economy but credit where it's due, prospects in Northern Ireland are looking up.

Exclusive Post-Brexit deal in sight for Northern Ireland Protocol after major shift in ‘mood music’

Ministers believe that a “landing zone” for a deal on the Northern Ireland protocol is in sight with a potential agreement being struck within weeks, i understands.

The Government has been working furiously behind the scenes on finding a solution on post-Brexit trading arrangements in Northern Ireland with optimism increasing that a deal is close to being signed.

i has been told that US investors are poised to start making major investments in the province as soon as the issues with the Protocol are ironed out and political stability returns.

According to senior government sources, the “mood music” between the UK, European Union and the Republic of Ireland shifted significantly at a British Irish Alliance meeting in Oxford last month.

Officials are now drawing up solutions to the protocol with the hope that they will be signed off at a political level.

Downing Street is eager to secure a deal before the 28 October deadline for when the UK Government must call another Stormont election.

Indian trade deal in peril after Suella Braverman migrant comments

Liz Truss’s flagship trade deal with India is on the “verge of collapse” after Indian ministers reacted furiously to comments by Suella Braverman criticising migrants from their country.

Last week the home secretary said she had “concerns” about the trade deal because it would increase migration to the UK and Indians represented the largest group of visa overstayers.

She told The Spectator magazine: “I do have some reservations. Look at migration in this country — the largest group of people who overstay are Indian migrants.”

The comments sparked a furious reaction from Indian government ministers and officials, sources from both governments have told The Times.

A source in Delhi said they were “shocked and disappointed” by the “disrespectful” remarks.

Delhi is demanding more work and study visas for its citizens, including a new visa that would emulate agreements struck with Australia and New Zealand that allow under-35s to live in the UK for up to three years. The enhanced terms for Indian migrants are referred to as “mobility” in talks.

A senior UK government source said: “Mobility has been the key Indian ask and everything else — financial services, banking, education, rules of origin on whisky, etc, hinges on the mobility ask. And Suella has gone and pulled the rug from under that mobility ask.”

A UK government source who has spoken to Indian officials involved in the trade negotiations said: “They were apoplectic. Mad doesn’t even come close to describing how angry they are.”

I'd wager that is totally made up.

I doubt The Times will share its sources with us so your money's safe.

At the heart of the matter, there does seem to be a tension between Truss's desire for supply-side reforms ie to increase immigration and Braverman's desire to reduce it.

Braverman's inexperience is likely coming through in her undiplomatic comments in naming a specific country.

Wonder what they're doing differently?

Eurozone industrial output jumps in contrast to UK

Industrial output in the eurozone rose sharply in August as manufacturers boosted investment despite fears of a recession, official figures have shown.

Industrial production in the 19 countries sharing the euro rose 1.5% in August from July, according to Eurostat, and was much better than the 0.6% gain forecast by economists.

This is in sharp contrast with UK manufacturing, which fell 1.6% in August, contributing to an overall economic decline of 0.3%

Re: Britain outside the EU

Following an entirely different investment model than the UK is what they’re doing. Sadly for years the UK has been saddled with long hours, low productivity and an excessively cautious attitude to investment.

Bear in mind however that there are differing industrial policies within EU-27 countries and industrial policy isn’t an area of EU competence so these statistics really only serve to obfuscate rather than illuminate. Within the Eurozone you will find some countries doing wildly better than others (I’ll take a stab in the dark and say Germany is probably doing very well here).
