- Britain continues on with delivering #Brexit self sanctioning measures which impoverishes more people every day.
Brexit is working to destroy our #foodsecurity leaving Britain weak and poor and reliant on world markets for food.
Adam Posen, former Bank of England policy maker, has been proved absolutely right as have all the people who warned against doing Brexit.

I'm from Ireland. I was sad to see the UK leave the EU at the time. However I have completely reversed my feelings about it now. I feel the UK needs to go through a period of reflection about what direction it wants to take as a country. Continue with divisive toxic politics, individual greed at all costs and antipathy towards it's citizens welfare and rule by class system. Or, reform from the roots up. Until these issues are put to bed then the UK should not be allowed back in or any wield influence in EU affairs. They are not a role model society.
As an outsider you have utterly nailed it!!
Thank you ☺️
We are an inward looking, backward looking, stubborn, pig headed and deferential society and our own worst enemy
Greed has destroyed this once great nation and greed will bring us to our knees
I agree. However the population cannot reflect on their actions as long as they consider the Mail, Express or Telegraph as new and not the propaganda rags that they are.
Frankly its got sweet FA to do with you. Maybe focus on your own problems, Ive just been to Dublin, its gone right downhill, stunk of piss everywhere.
@@Jj-ff9vq Actually, Brexit profoundly affects Ireland, quite the oposite to 'sweet FA' as you put it. Secondly, the points made in the original comment are well made, and show insight into the roots of the problem and what needs to change. That's constructive. Defensive Brexiteers pointing out different problems in other countries doesn't help the UK and is the response of someone who has no counter argument. It's childish. Equating the problem of drunks pissing in a Dublin backstreet to the national act of self-harm that is Brexit is risible.
@@bcgraham3512 Nailed it, well done.
If brexit was good we would be hearing about it every minite of the day ,the fact that no one wants to talk about it says all you need to know about it

Unfortunately, the description exactly nails it. This is what they did to themselves. Well, the ability to sovereignly act was part of the goal, wasn't it?
For British read English
@@imck357 you have a point there!
@@imck357 Yes. Scotland voted against Brexit.
@@countfosco8535 yes but Scotland decided not to be a proper country. So we can't really complain.
the only thing I hear the English complain about is how much money Brexit will cost. I never hear anyone talk about the European unity on which the European Union is based. The UK is only concerned with the money they are missing now that they are out of the European Union. The UK has always been concerned only with the financial benefits, never with the unity of the European Union.
the UK has always been the thorn in the side of the European Union. Only what was proposed and benefited the UK was adopted and everything that did not benefit the UK was vetoed, so no thanks, save your own ass
People tend to be self centered. Most of the EU is still very conscious of the 20th Century wars and does see the peace that economic interdependence brings. The UK was not invaded and many still see "The Glory of Empire". Not all, some of us have always seen the benefits of EU, culturally as well as economically. Politicians in all member states have used the EU to blame for their failings and unpopular policies and claimed credit for the benefits. The hard right in England did this in spades and they gained power. They still try to blame the EU for "Punishing" the UK.
a very uk thing we know the price of everything and the value of nothing we are backwards in so many ways ,
Unity puts no bread on the table
@@williamorchard16 and many brits have NO bread on the table.
@@williamorchard16 unity might not put bread on the table but it might inspire others to help you when you are in need. No one helps the selfish bully but sometimes the nice people get helped and the closer you are the higher the chance that someone helps you.
Don't think the EU want to help to clean up the mess you created yourself.
I'm afraid we will have no choice but to help some time in the future. It won't be for the first couple of decades though. I do hope they'll be able to clean up their mess because if they fail, we'll have to decide what to do with an unstable, unreliable country off our shores.
@@AlexGys9 If Little England does not clean up its tax laws and reinstate the human rights they are trying to get rid off now then Little England will not even be able to rejoin in 50 years. The English will have to learn that they get no special deal and they have to behave or they are not taken serious and sidelined.
@@AlexGys9 so you're not a British person today then. It changes daily.
We did help them rescue their frail economy when they first whined and wiggled into the EU only to see how they "all on their own" made their economy world beating and had to pay incredible amounts to be allowed to participate in the unwanted EU. Remember Mrs "I WANT MY MONEY BACK" Thatcher ? The english never change - let them enjoy their *** on their own this time
Poor man of Europe 2.0 and we in EU should not rescue you again until 95% of the Brit’s are on the train to rejoin. We don’t need any more hostile crybabies like Hungary!
Liz, you know that the big money was behind Brexit was not concerned about Eastern European fruit pickers, but was intended to free the financial sector from EU regulation, and everyone else's disadvantage, including farmers, was considered acceptable collateral damage.
That has backfired too, the city isn’t happy with Brexit either.
@@lizwebstersbf It will be even less happy very soon. ;)
@@chiccabay9911 seems Brexit has achieved its aims of forcing the EU to remove the Bankers’ bonus cap.

Absolutely right.
Ask EU farmers how it's going.
Well the english needed a lesson on the consequences of their xenophobic folly.
And the longer the UK waits with its reversal, the less reversible the damage will be. The rest of Europe (and the world) have reconfigured their supply-chains, and will benefit very little from re-engaging with the UK.
You still seem to have the illusion that UK can decide anything. We EU citizens make the rules and we do not want the xenophobic UK back.
"All the king's horses and all the king's men" ...
The UK economy grew by 0.6 percent in the first quarter of 2024, emerging from recession in the process. By contrast, growth in the eurozone - made up of the 19 countries which have adopted the euro as their currency - is just 0.3 percent.
Robert Oulds, director of the Bruges Group think tank and a long-term advocate of the benefits of Brexit, was in little doubt the UK is now beginning to reap tangible benefits from voting to leave in 2016 - while urging Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to seize the moment.
A fact that is totally ignored by the UK but is also quite unknown in Europe itself is that the center of power in Europe is shifting eastwards in a rapid pace. Some facts: The GDP per capita of Poland will overtake the UK around 2031. The 120 million people living in Eastern Europe were in the top of the fastest growing economies worldwide the last decade. The economies of Eastern Europe show a big success of the EU. While the UK is still moaning about sovereignty and fishing rights, the EU is moving ahead in a rapid pace. Ukraine with its 45 million people will join as well and accelerate this process with the build up of the military complex. It automatically means that the UK is literally drifting away from the center of power it once had..
@@garyb455 Dream on. Stil believing in "think tanks". How moronic.
I don't even know why all this angst is still there, there is no solution, no hope and no future, the game is finally up and there is no return. A lost cause cannot be magically redeemed no matter how much churning and believing is endured. 40 odd years flushed down the pan overnight.
Sadly, the most negative comment here is the most rational and accurate. 100% my view also.
Come on guys and girls, you can do it. The French got rid of their parasitical ruling class in the 1790's, albeit in a non-recommendable French style. Most other European counties followed, at their own pace, using more genteel methods. Look at the silver lining of this Brexit mess. Give it some more time and it will allow you to finally catch up.
@@AlexGys9 I have abandoned all hope, but upon your words I will practise my carpentry and sharpening skills 'pour la Madame' 😏
@@chrisreed3929 Good, that's the spirit. However, since I'm pretty sure the Britons won't do it the French way, I'd recommend practicing other skills. 😀

I live in Wisconsin. My daughter lives in a council house near Leeds. She is 53 and never worked. She shared her benefits with her other non-working pals to get a taxi and go vote Brexit. They are amazed that the Pakistanis (Even English born ), in Bradford have not been deported. She is typical of the Brexit ignorance. She has never heard of 1066ad and cannot name the Prime Minister.
Trump and Farage have managed to convince a lot of very stupid and ignorant people to shoot themselves in both feet in their respective nations...

You cannot replace the EU Cap system with ideology and expect a result.
You can't reverse Brexit while a slim majority still blame the EU for austerity and would NEVER accept the Euro or FoM.
The EU Single Payment system under the CAP has an ideological underpinning. In rebuilding Europe post WW2 one of the foundations was acceptance that keeping farmers on the land was a common social good even if it meant subsidies ultimately funded by tax.
It ensures ‘in house’ food security, it also ensures employment and therefore stability, of rural areas and of the small towns that service them.
The Chicago style ultra free market alternative ideology that drove Brexiters like Rees-Mogg, and right wing think tanks like the IEA and the Tufton Street lobbyists for billionaires like Ratcliffe and Dyson is that food can be imported cheaply from parts of the world with better climate and cheap labour and large farms suitable for large scale mechanisation and to them it’s not ‘wasteful’ subsidies of ‘uneconomic farmers’ in the UK.
As the late social historian Tony Judt observed in his very prescient book “Ill Fares the Land” (2010) the British elites no longer care about the social compact underpinning western liberal democracies and instead have moved back to a neo-Georgian model that is based on their admiration for the ‘Chinese Economic Miracle’ which is built on a society ruthlessly controlled by a now again hereditary elite who are above all law and question and with a mass of cheap workers who cannot leave their own area of China let alone the country and are thus a captive cheap workforce who know that to dissent means disappearing for re-education. Yes the model is China on the Channel and not Singapore on the Channel.
Which ideology do you want? Which ideology builds a society where fairness fir many is weighted higher than individual freedom for a few owners to become obscenely rich.
@@epincion
Not so much in the 2016 referendum but in the 2019 GE the UK or to be precise the english clearly choose one of those ideologies.
Good luck with what they wished for.
@@Ooze-cl5tx yes the choice was most clear in the GE of Dec 2019 which was that rare thing a GE that was really fought on one issue - Get Brexit Done.
However in the 2016 referendum one of the issues was the claim that Brexit would mean food prices 20% lower
@@epincion Well yes, the reason Australia can supply the same agricultural products (insert required standard here*) cheaper from 1/2 a world away (and cheaper than US producers as well) is scale. Australia does Industrial farming (more so than the US). The UK is not getting back into the Single Market and Customs Union - not for a generation at least. UK farms need to be industrialised, many farmers need to leave the land and be replaced by automation, otherwise the food security of the UK will be negatively impacted.
* Forget all this BS about 'hormone-fed beef'. Australia exports to many markets, for Japan the marbling of the beef is 'just so', the EU requires hormone-free beef and Australia supplies it etc. The customer defines their requirements and Australian farms supply to those requirements - at an attractive price.
If ever there were persons who have been overpromoted they are Grant Shapps, Sebastian Fox, Corrine Stockheath and Michael Green.
Why would an honest man need four names?
I agree. The current crop of Tory politicians are hopeless in every way. Labour has lost its direction over Brexit too. I see little hope for us at the moment.
" Labour has lost its direction .." Because Starmer is a coward.
we here in the EU still wait for the UK to move their silly island to the Pacific Ocean!
Brexit, self imposed sanctions or as my dear old mum always used to say "Cutting off your nose to spite your face".
The only nose which has been cut off is the nose of the EU, which was sucking the UK dry
I have given up on this now as it’s exhausting me! Let it be and let them suffer! There should be a vote on how many people want to live abroad without restrictions…..it’s that simple! Why sink with a sinking ship
Come on, don't give up. You can do it. The French got rid of their parasitical ruling class in the 1790's, albeit in a non-recommendable French style. Most other European counties followed, at their own pace, using more genteel methods. Look at the silver lining of this Brexit mess. Give it some more time and it will allow you to finally catch up.

@@Iain1962 Brexit supporters are renowned to be patriotic, yet here you are laughing at the damage you voted for?
Adam Posen was so right about what was going to happen to the UK, after it had left the EU. However, no matter how outspoken Adam was against the very idea of leaving the EU; no one on the right or the left, would listen to him!! Adam Posen is a very astute and objective national-economist, who is more than well versed in European economic-affairs. 7:20 "non--financial regulation in certain areas" Here Adam Posen is referring to the EU's new offshore baking legislation. And it was these new regulative laws that, was the real reason for brexit!! And all the brexit lies, that were told, were told to cover-up the Tory's real reason real for their brexit; namely to protecting the UK's wealthy against the prying eye of the EU's tax-man.
Brexit in 2 quotes: - Adam Posen - " Brexit will be an economic disaster for the UK" Michael Gove "I think we're all a bit fed up with experts" FYI. I think you might be referring to the EU anti Money Laundering legislation ....not the baking legislation...... :)
Posen is another arrogant globalist - unelected and unaccountable.
NO LIES on Brexit....only glorious TRUTH.....Maastricht scam was the game changer
when free trade became ''ever closer union'' and political and federal union with Europe....ie the corrupt EU.
All his predictions have turned out to be incorrect though.
This is where we are with the Rejoining campaign, still trying to refight the debate from 2016.
We now have facts and results and they are nothing like this doom filled scenario. This Posen guy is just a bloke from a Think Tank, all Think Tanks have an agenda, he was just campaigning for Remain at the time.
@@Iain1962 All. Difficult to debate with someone who denies facts.
@@8563robbie Ah, straight in with the pointless personal attack, what a ridiculous statement to make, what fact do you think I deny?
Posen and others said all of this from the start, so EVERY ONE knew, but to many ignored or denied.

I've been a fan of Mr. Posen for some time now, so it was great to see you feature him on your channel. I've also become a fan of you and your campaigning. I appreciate all you do-thank you! Please keep up the excellent work.
I’m afraid it was always the case with so many (not all) British people (and I am one of them) that we don’t seem to be able to look beyond what is of interest to ourselves. Perhaps the biggest illustration of that is our willingness to learn other languages. The arrogant attitude of so many is “why do we need to, most foreigners speak English?” We always seem to think we’re a ‘special case’. You only have to look at the number of opt-outs we had to EU legislation. Brexiters (and sadly the rest of us) are now learning the lesson that we’re nothing special- our, so-called ‘Glory Days’ are long gone. The EU has adapted and ‘coped’ very well without us; why on Earth would they want us back in unless we’re prepared to comply with the conditions of re-entry, such as adopting the Euro? Much as I, an ardent Remainer, would love us to re-apply for membership, can you imagine the outcry from the right-wing media about changing our currency. Thanks to the Brexit voters and, I should add, the 30% + of voters who couldn’t even be bothered to vote, we are where we are and, to be frank, I don’t see a way out of the misadventure in my lifetime.
well said Liz- It is not just farmers but other ‘invisible’ sectors especially for our designers and creative people Musicians and artists that suffer from this disastrous Brexit trick
The UK would be in a much better position if it had stayed in the EU.
Even if I thought Brexit was a good idea, I just couldn't side with those advocating for it
That's all anyone needed to know about Brexit...... Make a character judgement on the people advocating for it. They blamed a decade of self imposed austerity on the EU and desperate people bought the snake oil..... they'll be more desperate now. Fascinating and sad in equal measure....
Pariah state brexitannia.

From hero to zero. One of the most powerful nations in the EU spits it's dummy to become like North Korea.

I believe Brexit will be good for you. You and your ilk need to finally dump the notion that the UK is something special. Can't you see that this "one of the most powerful nations" nonsense is the very idea on which Brexit was built?
@@AlexGys9 you have nothing of worth to say. Just endless repetition of bland dross.
Thank you Liz spot on.

Uk is not united anymore
Good, England needs it's parliament and borders back 🏴
It never was
Liz,you are great!
Join the Labour party and start putting some pressure on the leadership. Change comes from within.
Solid stuff.
When UK left EU it lost all the trade deals it had as a member, But not only that. All the quotas for different goods, that UK had as a member, were suddenly gone and split up among the remaining members in EU. Uk very soon found that out when Liz truss ytried to get a cheese quota from Japan. The Japanese said no they do not want to expand their qimport quota. Ask EU for some leftover if they have some.
That happened again in Canada. No new quota for UK. It is a brexit benefit for EU exporters.
Thanks Liz a good video.
Thank you🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
All correct. The problem is the disfranchised voted emotionally and remain so after Brexit. Hopefully, some have come to their senses.
For the EU to allow us to rejoin we need a big majority to vote yes. Education and real levelling up must implemented to create the desire to change from Brexiteer to voting for the EU.
Excellent presentation.
Nor even Margaret thacher wanted brexit
Posen was one of the very few people who told the harsh truth directly after the Brexit vote. It resonated with me immediately but unfortunately many Brits were very busy with the revival of the British Empire that would reconquer the world again. The stupid crap we had to listen to about the Common Wealth was just laughable. You still see these people around even in this chat below like @hughbasham4389 is a perfect example of it. People who create their own parallel world with a complete different reality because the real world, in which the UK is dropping down the list of most influential countries rapidly, is just unbearable for them. All very nice and convenient. You just go back in time and live in the past so that you do not have to think about a new role in the future of a changing world organized in blocs.
100% right. And Empire was responsible for many crimes like slave trade and the famines in India and yet they never acknowlede those crimes because the outcome was always beneficial for the UK but not the colonies.
Too bad for @hughbasham4389 and people thinking like him that EU is one of the 3 biggest trade partners for allmost all the Commonwealth countries. don´t take my word for this information. Head over to the EU commission site by google " EU trade countries and regions" and see for yourself. EU has trade agreements with almots all countries that are worth trading with either by individual trade agreements or by having agreements with regions or blocs like ASEAN for example.
Well let me take you back in time. Back into the real world. We have not lost one single job in the car industry since we voted for Brexit that is Brexit related. However in the parallel universe of our being in the eu back in the 1970's 80's 90's 00's we lost literally millions of jobs at Peugeot Coventry to Peugeot St Denis, Massey Fergusons Banner Lane to Beauvais, Dagenham to Ghent, Leyland trucks to Eindhoven Land Rover to Munich. Our steel industry decimated by the eu enforced take over of British Steel by the Dutch Corus group. We lost millions of job in the fishing industry and support trades, Findus Grimsby now Findus Bremehaven, Terrys of York now Terrys of Bratislava. Every single British town had business that was off-shored into the eu. Food, ship building automotive train manufacturing, tool making the list goes on. Posen is an eu loving dickhead, and indeed is actually employed by them, a truth he forgot to mention and remoaners like you don't even know.
Smug remoaning w⚓'s like you can insult people like me all you like. You see we will never rejoin because there are enough people who will never accept the eu's terms and will do every single thing available to us to stop that from happening. There is also a section of our society that will never forget that the reason we are still British is down to a huge number of people with backbone that defended this country, stood along side some Poles, Czechs commonwealth citizens, Americans and many others who helped. Thanks be to God for that too. Where others run we walk, we will do just fine on our own.
Nailed it, thanks Liz.
Adam Posen explained the situation in clear terms. The problem is, that all of this had been clear up front to everybody, who had just a little interest in economics. This is, why your decision to leave was shocking to all other EU members, as we easily knew what would be the consequences. The fact that you - despite of honest counsel from the EU - walked out, led to that today, we feel no pity for your self-inflicted condition.
Yes but we now have years of evidence, including a Pandemic, lockdowns, and a couple of wars disrupting everything, and none of his predictions were anywhere near correct, in fact he was completely wrong about pretty much everything.
Pardon the expression but this analysis is bang on the money!
Well said Liz
Keep up the good work Liz.
Brexit is not good for UK but great for the rest of the Europe. 😂
No , vice versa
Morning. Remainers were right. It's an absolute mess. 100 billion lost in trade.
You people really need to get over yourselves, how bitter and twisted you remainers still are, completely brainwashed by years of EU biased media!
Great piece. I've not seen any of your other content, but I sense your passion for the topic. Your profitability and viability as part of the farming industry has been fatally compromised by Brexit. I catch Farming Today on R4 during the week and the impact of Brexit on a vast swathe of British business is right at the top of the agenda. Brexit has been a resounding win win for the ruling Party and their wealthy, fund manager chums and other monied camp followers. The rest of us have been sold a pup, for which we can't even afford the dog license. Unfortunately, Brexit is now such a political hot potato, no mainstream political party want to go anywhere near it. Labour flunked their chance under Corbin to nail their colours to the mast on Brexit and now we're stuck with political incapacitation on the sunject for at least a generation.
Well done again, Liz.
Very well said and a great video especially the excerpts with Adam Posen and your remarks after 08:00.
Got it wrong about that £350 million per week to the NHS.

Dear Liz, hello here is Germany.
You are the first to tell the truth about Brexit.
I am someone that draws aquarell pictures and I cant buy at CassArt Shop because they dont send Internationaly. I can buy at Jacksons but I have to pay customs. So I dont buy if I can get things here. I have a friend in England and I sent her a Christmas package. Oh it was so complicated to fill out the declare for the customs. And the postage was more expensive.
The Brexit was for a few to make good money but not for the normal people.
They said that there will be no foreigners after the Brexit.
But has anyone thougt of the Babyboomers when they go on pension who will follow most people did not have have enough children.
But back to the money problem the whole world is loosing Industrie and they move to other countrys.
But I heard that many British citizins move to france.
I love living in the European Union.
I have been in Great Britain and Wales very beatiful. But now I need a Visa isn't that crazy.
So I hope that England will come back into the European Union.
Every econonomic is suffering at the moment. If there were no migrants I would have no fruit, tomatoes etc. Because they work as harvest helpers. So they dont rely on the goverment.
In most countries they used to have harvest helpers working in the low income jobs.
So dear Liz I will cross my fingers.
Many greetings Christiane Berlin Germany 😊😊

Another group of individuals and companies that also benefited from Brexit were the wealthy individuals and corporations that off shored their assets to tax havens.

Rejoin? Only without the rebate, no opt-outs, no cherry picking exceptionalism and the major political parties must agree with a large majority. Maybe then however each of the EU member states have veto power.
Of course. However English exceptionalism won’t respond to reason. The people who led Brexit are winning at the bank even though they never understood the EU to start with- and so many people blindly followed them.
Brexit benefit!
The National Farmers’ Union lobbied to increase the amount of pesticides allowed in the UK’s drinking water and to allow farmers to spread manure more frequently as part of a post-Brexit loosening of environmental regulations.
"Single market?! .. Who said that?!"
Brexit was the worst act of self-harm that the UK inflicted on itself.
Said the paid EU troll bot
@@voice.of.reason Oh dear, not quite the voice of reason that you purport to be. As soon as a comment is made that you do not agree with, you resort to insults. How grown-up of you.
A satellite cannot escape from gravity…
Brilliant video.
Nice to hear a bit of common sense from someone that knows what he's on about
I think the success of Dutch company 'Polestar' is a classic example of how Brexit works against UK companies. With EU funding to help development, when their electric car went to market they had open unrestricted access to the biggest trade market in the world. Imagine if this was a UK startup. With the huge EU market effectively closed off by Brexit bureaucracy, they would have to look to selling half way round the world. No way to compete! And this tilted playing field was created by this government!
LOL have you seen their share price, that company is nearly bankrupt
On the 20th of June 2016 the EU introduces the 'The Anti Tax Avoidance Directive', on the 23rd of June 2016 the UK votes to leave the EU. Already wealthy owners of private companies stand to make millions through UK tax avoidance schemes, so it was in there direct interest to make sure the UK left the EU, indeed companies like Dyson and JCB openly backed Brexit. One cannot help wondering what financial dealings went on behind closed doors between the Brexit backing politicians and these company bosses.
The EU hates competition in business, the EU chokes small businesses, and favours huge corporations. Any businessman of small to medium companies knows this and supported brexit of course
Hmm I think Liz had better comply with Democracy, she lost.
No. Everybody lost. And democracy? 57% of the popular vote was against brexit in the 2019 election, yet the tories became the largest party and dragged everyone out. That is democracy in your books. Not in mine.
Given the fact that Labour is AGAINST rejoining the EU but would be in favour of a "realignment" (which doesnt mean much, the UK would still be outside of the single market) wouldnt it make sense to advocate for the "rejoin EU" party ?
Labour is saying it’s against rejoining just same as Cameron was for being liberal. It’s politics. Labour only retains power by getting growth back!
Still, joining the customs union is totally dead in the water. It can not be done. I reccomend all of you to take a course in " how do EU work". Any admission to any country to join the customs union and/or the single market without being a member of EU or EEA would break up EU. They don't want that. They definitely don't want that. No chanse.
It is essential to get the Tories out. Decide on your own constituency how to elect a non Tory MP.
Only SNP and Greens are for rejoining - Libdems have adopted omerta of the 2 major parties since getting a panning in 2019 election.
@@peterholden3672 it still does not change the fact that so many rejoiners think EU is some kind of a breakfast buffet with a revolving door where you can pick and choose parts of it that you like. Start by going to ther homesite of the EU commission google "How to join EU" and click the link EU enlargement-European Union and read all links too on the pages you go to.
This is how the EU commission describes the accession process for a country that wants to join EU. And that is the only way to get into the single market and customs union.
A credible enlargement policy is a geostrategic investment in peace, stability, security and prosperity in Europe. It is based on fair and rigorous conditionality and the principle of own merits. It requires candidate countries to implement complex reforms in many areas such as the rule of law and the economy and to align their legislation with the EU acquis. At the same time, candidate countries are expected to develop their administrative structures. Reconciliation, good neighbourly relations and regional cooperation are of utmost importance.
Every year, the Commission provides an Enlargement Communication, which outlines its recommendations regarding the Enlargement process, and dedicated reports, which provide a detailed assessment of the state of play and the progress made by the candidates and potential candidates on their respective paths towards the European Union. This assessment focuses on the implementation of fundamental reforms, and also contains clear guidance on the reform priorities ahead. The Communication and the reports together constitute the “Enlargement Package”.
1 Country submits an application to the Council (EU Member States)
2 The Commission submits an Opinion on the application.
3 EU Member States decide unanimously to grant the country candidate status.
4 After conditions are met, Member States (unanimously) agree to open the accession negotiations.
5 The Commission proposes a draft negotiating framework as a basis for the talks at the request from Member States. Accession negotiations formally
start once Member States agree on the negotiating framework.
6 During negotiations, which are structured according to clusters and chapters, the country prepares to implement EU laws and standards.
7 Once negotiations on all areas are finalised, the Commission gives its Opinion on the readiness of the country to become a Member State.
8 Based on this Opinion, EU Member States decide unanimously to close the accession negotiations. The European Parliament must also give its consent.
9 All EU Member States and the candidate country sign and ratify an Accession Treaty which enables the country to become an EU Member State.
You forgot to add ‘incorporated’ and you’re a fool.
#Brexit is great, if you are very rich, or very stupid.
For the rest of us, it's broken everything that makes life easier.
Thanks for the video , I've seen lots of videos alluding to how much damage brexit has had on the British economy .
Yet none of our politicians are even talking about this , government coffers are very much down compared with pre brexit levels so the government is trying to grow the economy to make up the shortfall .
What rubbish. Brexit was, and still is,a great move which should not have been needed if Britain had not been stupid enough to
join the crooked club in the first place. As a trading partner, again,the trading was one way. We bought much more from the EU
than what they bought from us. The EU need us a great deal more than we need them. The trade gap was many billions in the
EUs favour. I am proud to say, " I voted leave"
Marching on to Tory Glory and Brexit Britain. Cheerio sad, miserable Lizzie.
Sounds like a hitler speech, yuk, you can keep your propaganda.
These people are really sad aren't they, Completely bitter and twisted about their beloved EU waste of space unelected government that they don't have to fund anymore
@@voice.of.reason Just to use the words, "beloved EU" shows that you yourself are the bitter and twisted one. How can you call yourself "the voice of reason" when you don't even understand how the EU is run, "waste of space unelected government" Firstly they aren't a government, its not a country and those that need to be elected are.
I moved back home in part because of the possibility of increased academic collaborations with Europeans. Brexit was the death knell of that. I remember this economist,he was the voice of reason.
Brexit 👍👍👍👍👍👍. British food for British shops. 👍👍
I know a few for which Brexit is great 😂
We have enough of experts, more unicorns please 🙏
U heeded d unicorns d last time 😂😂
It was obvious that there was always going to be some negative economic outcome due to Brexit, ‘but’ if you didn’t understand for most Brexiteers that wasn’t the primary issue. The primary issue was that the EU is in no way democratic. The members of the EU Commission are not elected and during their tenure they cannot be unseated. It is essentially the Commission that generates EU law. The EU ‘Parliament’ is not allowed to produce law, it can only suggest changes to proposed law, which must then return to the Commission for them to approve. In the UK we can unseat any government that doesn’t do what they told us they were going to do, unlike in the EU. If we ever rejoin the EU we will have to accept the failed Euro, will not have a rebate, probably will have to pay more and will have open borders. You need to read the book written by the former EU chief of economics to see how corrupt the EU is, also the book ‘Adults in the Room’ by former Greece Finance Minister Yannis Veruoufakis to appreciate the terrible organisation that has zero respect for its citizens.
Let Mr Neil Kinnock inform you!
th-cam.com/video/0X_QtS6R-pU/w-d-xo.html
the usual brexiter babble.
The EU is not a nationstate, so has a different organizational structure. I do not hear you complain about the "democracy" in Nato, UN etc.
"In the UK we can unseat any government" really, how? As far as I can see you are all waiting to hear when the PM decides is the best time to have a general election. Something that in proper democracies is regulated by rules and laws, not the opportunistic mood of a PM. Any brit commenting on "democracy" makes a fool of himself anyways, given the nature and structure of the UK "democracy".
"will have to accept the failed Euro," please clarify how the € is failed when it has reached world reserve currency status within a decade and has been a stable currency since its inception, compared to the pound that has been in decline for about a century now, and according to specialists is behaving like a "developing nation" currency.
"how corrupt the EU is" is a laughable claim form the UK, and anyone referring to Yanis Varoufakis as a credible source cannot be taken seriously at all.
Having followed Adam Posen's comments on Brexit since early 2016, I find it tragic that the British farmers, at the time when it mattered most, collectively rejected all of them, until recently, in favour of all the blatantly nonsensical lies from the Leave campaign.
By it's own actions, the UK is now Shutter Island.
i calling it Silly island!
@@Arltratlo Have you seen the film "Shutter Island" ..?
You have to remember that UK population voted for to keep UK as a tax avoiding country for Russian oligarcs and other suspicyes people! And that EU even forced Schweiz to revel any person that have a banc acount.. if asked for!
Its this that London was tax dodgers paradise, frome the whole world.. and the referendum was all about that.. lets brittain be as great as it was, when it have concured a quarter of the whole world!
Complete rubbish you talk
You people really need to get over yourselves, how bitter and twisted your remainers are, completely brainwashed by years of EU biased media!
I hate Brexit but it was primarily not a decision made about economics but national sovereignty, so economic arguments will not work to end the madness
It was lots of things, that remainers would never understand, because if they did, they would see why leaving was such a great thing
Great video. So many thoughts.
Adam Posen completely articulated my jumbled thoughts. A clear suggestion of why Brexit could never work.
I’m intrigued by two of three people who voted leave that I knew who worked in Europe at a high corporate/ board member level. Was it EU regulations that stymied their own abilities?
Even so- Brexit could work hypothetically if ALL Euro nations left the EU and a redrawn Euro market place was set up with our biggest trading partners- never going to happen.
And well done Adam for drawing a line on “sovereignty”. He didn’t comment. The poor saps of the UK electorate really haven’t got a clue re their version of democracy and the red wall “voting for Boris”
Finally- great finish to the video. Clearly stating who benefits from Brexit. And when Labour arrives in govt, how can we start the process of rejoining. Would the EU have us? What barrel would they have us over to rejoin? Lose the £? Etc…
Oh yes- you get a subscribe! 🇪🇺
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! The brexiteers hoped to cause the EU to disintegrate but in fact it made them unite more! For our food we certainly need to get rid of these trade barriers urgently.
@@lizwebstersbf food is one thing. I’m a GP in the NHS. An NHS, thats looked on by vultures in the US who want to gobble it with their companies and sell their services at an exorbitant tariff to govt- then shift work on to us. Who have had a contract imposed on them which is in effect another pay cut
Check Katie Bramall Steiner and the BMA videos on what’s around the corner.
Food and Health have/ are being destroyed 😡
Brexit has proven Adam Posen's analysis to be right. And it also put Starmer's "I'm going to make brexit work stance" to shame!! And the next useless-fool tobe elected as leader of the the House of Donkeys; will be Starmer the copper. In-spite of their political orientation's, are there really on men/women of political vision in the UK, that prioritize the nation well-being first and themselves second?
Other countries had to be devastated by invasion what the UK now needs to know by self harm: that it’s better to cooperate with the people in the neighbourhood than pissing them off.
I honestly wasn't aware of the fact we have more trade with Ireland than India and China. And I'm a Remoaner...
Shows how ignorant you are
Utter rubbish.
Hopefully starmer will forge closer ties with the EU re joining the customs union would be a start ,I firmly believe the uks future depends on some sort of alliance with the EU .
People in d eu will be very wary after all d abuse from d British media and general public a bit of respect goes a long way
You cannot join the customs union nor the single market. Those are for EU members only. The single market alone is also for 3 EFTA countries in the EEA agreement. Nor will any "alliance open the doors to the single market and customs union". you have to be under the jurisdiction of the ECJ = a member of EU to have single market access and be in the customs union.
The brexit deal with the EU is up for review this year and re joining the customs union should be on the table so we could possibly re join .
@@pip1723 the deal with the EU is up for review , so how about giving up NI and Gibraltar - that is about the level of your delusion regarding membership in our SM/CU
NO.
That ship has sailed.

Higher than USA,Japan, and the biggest EU countries Germany, France and Italy
All the UK needs is a competent goverment who is there for the ordinary citizens 🙏
Never heard of Posen but I remember when the uk done ok but in those days people worked they didn’t have to sit at home scrounging for handouts from their own govt or any foreign govt
Posen is an ex Bank of England MPC member who can't forecast anything hasn't the first idea about successful economies
I hope Labour look to gain entry to the single market. Membership of the EU is a long way away.
The London Stock Market is hemorrhaging businesses at an alarming rate.
There is no hope of regaining what we have lost but it might calm things down.
No single market without EU membership for UK. It is a membership perk.
@@trident6547 Norway and Switzerland are not EU members but are part of the EEA. I hope over time we might be allowed the same privileges as these two. I am 58 and a remainer, those much younger should not have had to make this sacrifice. Thanks.
The majority of working age are in employment. This was not the case in the 70’s. Investment is still coming in from countries in the EU. Germany is investigating in a super magnet factory in Oxfordshire and a primary reason is the quality of British workers. The sad thing for me is that BREXIT was supposed to create factories to get Briton making again. The government needs to support this initiative as a priority.
According to Rodger Bootle (economist): "nation-states export stuff in order to pay for imports" - ergo: stop importing German motorcars, French wine and indulging in Spanish holidays. The result is lower GDP but not necessarily lower standard of living. Just the ongoing propaganda of totalitarian ideologues who "must" of necessity prove Brexit a disaster or face the possibility of contagion throughout Europe and doom for the geopolical strategies (mostly) of successive French administrations.
Roger Bootle writes for the telegraph and seems to be a Tory with right wing views, he is rich and frankly as a working class person I doubt very much that he has any interest in the common man. Brexit has cost prices to rise and choice to diminish, Brexit has lost us our freedom of Europe, Brexit is destroying small business who are unable to cope with the customs controls, do I really care what he thinks! Are you really serious when you say, not necessarily lower stand of living, that is a political issue that the Tory government have little interest in, look around you we have rising poverty and unequally. Our NHS is on it's knees, quality of life in the UK is dropping below most European Countries.
@@teddyboysdontknit810 Why would it matter that (1) Bootle writes a column for the Telegraph, (2) "seems" to be a Tory, (3) presumably has "right wing views" and that you, being fully paid-up "working class", though may not be able to challenge his economic credentials, judge him to be totally disinterested in the "common man" - why is any of the above relevant?
@@teddyboysdontknit810 As for the rest of your bigoted diatribe: when are you people going to wake to the "fact" that Brexit is a reality! It happened. You might not like it. You might be like a 5 years old kicking and screaming all the way to the dentist - but you just gotta go. It's called reality. Wake up and smell the (more expensive) coffee. If you'd put as much effort into making it work, as our grandfathers put into winning the War, even if they didnt like the idea of war, they just knuckled down and got on with it. But not you lot! Like a child crying over a broken toy tractor. Poor thing! Really - you should too ashamed to show your face in public.
@@andrewfisherman3811 He has a biased view like all writers for the far right media. There are many other economists that would disagree with him, so there is no point in you quoting one mans view as though it is automatically the correct view. If you believe that these city types care a toss about working people you are very naive.
Incidentally since becoming members of the EU and purchasing not only European food stuff but also European culture our lives have profited. Not importing from Europe would have left the UK a very sad poor country. Ideology is ok on paper but frankly it doesn't work.
@@teddyboysdontknit810 Please explain why the majority of British people, even after experiencing the unquestionable delights of membership of the EUropean totalitarian dictoriship of faceless Franco-Teutonic bureaucrats, for 45 years - still voted to leave? And, before you tell me "they were lied to", when did anyone believe politicians? Furthermore, should that remote possibility ever arise, given their own opportunity for a straight "in-out", the native populations of a whole string of European countries would vote to leave - including France, Italy, Greece, Netherlands, Ireland - but, of course, we know they won't get the chance.
Catastrophic
