More Brexit woe...

Nissan's £13.2bn move and burning of EU red tape boosts UK by billions.

Nissan chief operating officer Ashwani Gupta highlighted the importance of the Sunderland plant for the firm's wide-ranging plans over the coming years.

He told PA Media: "Europe will take the lead on electrification around the world for Nissan.

"In Europe, Sunderland is the one which will take the lead towards electrification."

This is the second major boost for the huge Sunderland factory following the announcement earlier this year Nissan would be investing £1billion in a battery plant, as well as updates to the North East hub, to to produce new electric models.

Bloody Brexit.

Inflation in eurozone soars to highest on record.

High gas prices and the cost of imported goods were blamed for the inflationary surge. Energy prices, including oil and gas, jumped 27% from November 2020, Eurostat said, to increase the headline rate from 4.1% in October.

France suffered a 3.4% inflation increase, its highest in a decade, but it was in Germany among the bloc’s largest economies where prices rocketed, taking the inflation rate to 6%. In Estonia the inflation rate jumped 8.4%, while in Lithuania it reached 9.3%.

Other developed economies have also been buffeted by similar inflationary pressures since the summer. The US recorded an inflation rate of 6.2% in October, the biggest 12-month jump since 1990.

Just another of those things that people will later deny ever happened.

EU shamed into U-turn after trying to ban word CHRISTMAS for being 'offensive'.

Commissioner for Equality Ms Dalli launched an internal guide to inclusive communication. It prohibited a number of expressions deemed stigmatising according to gender, sexual identity, ethnic origin or culture, the Italian daily revealed.

These recommendations aimed to "reflect diversity" and fight against "stereotypes deeply rooted in individual and collective behaviour".

According to the report, the use of the masculine "by default" should be prohibited and "Ladies and Gentlemen" should be replaced by "Dear colleagues."

Terms with a gendered connotation such as "workmen" should also be banned.

It should be noted that the document was written in English, so some recommendations were not applicable to other languages.

How the **** would they actually ban names like Mary and John? Also, neither are originally Christian names. They’re Aramaic and Jews were using them long before Christ was born.

These stories are always absolute nonsense aimed at riling morons. Nobody is banning Christmas any more than “you’ll be arrested just for being proud to be English nowadays” etc.

Inevitably the old nonce will claim a win either way.

They're not sending their best.

The NHS should at least harvest the organs .

Labour can't even help themselves <laugh>

A minority party for minority groups and that's all they are.

Even your wonderful warmongering ex PM Toeknee Thatcher (well known hypocritical champagne socialist) has told Labour to drop the "Woke Ideology" or you will be continually ****ed ragged by a ****ing awful Tory Government and Party <laugh>

David Bammy as Shadow Foreign Secretary ffs. Surprised Dame Stormer didn't make the innumerate Diane Abacus as Shadow Chancellor. What a ****ing mess the Lefty Loony Woke Labour Party are in. Unelectable <ok>
