Why Brino is the new Brexit

If Johnson�s trade deal proves elusive, Brexit in Name Only will be the result

If Boris Johnson wins a majority in the election, as most bookmakers expect, Britain should finally leave the EU this winter. We now know that there are no benefits to Brexit, but enough Remainer MPs have been convinced by their consciences (or by abuse and death threats) that they need to deliver on the referendum.

On October 22, the Commons narrowly voted for the second reading of Johnson�s withdrawal agreement. That small majority should hold if he gets another shot at pushing the bill through.

Actual Brexit is meant to be the beginning of the UK�s heroic solo journey. But, in fact, it will probably prove the end. That�s because Johnson will then struggle to negotiate a trade deal with the EU that can pass the Commons.

Next year, when Brexiter trade fantasies crash into reality, expect a new scenario to emerge: Brino (Brexit in name only) for now. Brino entails the UK leaving the EU but staying in the single market and customs union, and paying into the European budget, until it can devise a beneficial Brexit. Since there isn�t one, Brino could stick for years.

The UK�s plan for the trade talks is to peel countries off the EU�s common negotiating position. That�s why it�s adding staff to embassies around Europe. In certain capitals, British diplomats are taking local officials to lunch and suggesting ad hoc fallback arrangements for bilateral trade in case the UK-EU trade talks fail.

�Is that allowed?� the local might ask. And the Brit will answer, perhaps not entirely accurately: �Don�t worry, member state X is discussing the same arrangement with us.�

Bilateral arrangements aren�t allowed. The EU�s rules are clear: Brussels, not individual member states, handles trade. If there�s one thing the EU27 agree on, it�s the need to preserve the single market. So they won�t let the UK access bits of it without following European rules.

Johnson wants to diverge from these rules to turn Britain into a low-tax, low-cost, low-regulation global exporter. However, this is a doomed fantasy. First, if he tries it, he can forget selling into the single market. And where is Britain going to export all that stuff to, if not to the EU? The US won�t offer a trade deal unless the Commons agrees to open up the National Health Service and food markets to American companies.

Second, the UK will never be cheap enough to compete on price with (say) China or Vietnam. Third, manufacturing is somewhere around 10 per cent of British GDP, not enough to sustain an economic model.

In short, leaving the single market will cause pain. However, most voters won�t accept pain. It�s not what they were promised. Johnson is currently assuring them that passing his withdrawal agreement will �get Brexit done�. They will be aghast when the whole boring drama segues straight into trade.

Moreover, once Brexit happens, almost all opposition MPs, many Tories, plus business will push for something softer, more Brinoesque.

When his whizzo trade deal proves elusive, Johnson might try crashing out of the EU, but parliament has shown it will stop kamikaze Brexits. Anyway, no-deal would be just a phase. Within weeks, the UK would need to ask Brussels for a relationship again. So no-deal could lead to Brino.

The withdrawal agreement foresees a transition until December 2020, during which time the UK stays in the single market and customs union. The agreement allows the transition to be extended just once, for up to two years. But when that period ends, the UK still won�t want to jump off the cliff.

The easiest way out for the EU would then be to reword the withdrawal agreement and extend the transition again and, if necessary, again. After all, Brino suits Brussels: the UK keeps paying into its budget, and nobody�s trade suffers.

For Britain, Brino is a pointless act of self-harm. It would mean following the EU�s rules but without a seat at the table. That�s acceptable for a small country such as Norway, which is used to rule-taking, but the UK has always had a seat at every table. Brino therefore probably wouldn�t last for ever. Yet for now, it�s the most workable scenario.

Brino would allow Johnson to boast that he had �got Brexit done� painlessly. Most voters could live with it too: they switched off the detail years ago. Google searches in the UK for Manchester United Football Club have exceeded searches for �Brexit� almost continuously since the referendum. And when voters were polled about their opinions of Johnson�s withdrawal agreement, about a third admitted they didn�t know.

After Brino, hardcore Leavers could get on with designing their fantasy departure. Occasionally they would put their proposals to parliament, but these would always be rejected because of all the problems that we now know about. Only a few Brexit bores would pay attention.

Meanwhile, Remainers could fight on as Rejoiners. Since Brino would scarcely change the UK�s relationship with the EU, Britain could return relatively easily in a few years, admittedly without its current opt-outs.

Britons in 2016 were promised a Brexit with no hard choices. Brino is the closest thing to it.

Jeremy Corbyn to set campaign tone by targeting rich individuals

Labour leader to �go after� Duke of Westminster, Ashley, Odey, Ratcliffe and Murdoch

Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader, will set the tone of his election campaign on Thursday with a direct attack on �the privileged few� who benefit from a �corrupt system�, naming individual millionaires whom the UK opposition party wants to target.

Mr Corbyn will promise to �go after� the�Duke of Westminster, the landowner,�Mike Ashley, the retail billionaire,�Jim Ratcliffe, chair of the Ineos chemicals group,�Rupert Murdoch, the media baron, and�Crispin Odey, the hedge fund boss.

In his first speech of the election campaign, Mr Corbyn will put himself firmly on the side of �the many not the few�, promising to shake up capitalism to help ordinary working families.

�This election is a once-in-a-generation chance to transform our country, take on the vested interests holding people back and ensure that no community is left behind,� he will say.

Mr Corbyn will claim that �the elite� in society does not want to pay taxes. �So they�ll fight harder and dirtier than ever before,� he will say. �They�ll throw everything at us because they know we�re not afraid to take them on.�

The Labour leader will then directly criticise �landlords like the Duke of Westminster�, whom he claims tried to evict families to make way for luxury apartments.

How Labour was wrongfooted by Johnson�s election call
He will attack �bad bosses like Mike Ashley, the billionaire who won�t pay his staff properly and is running Newcastle United into the ground�, and Mr Ratcliffe, whom he claims is �Britain�s richest man who makes his money by polluting the environment�.

Also in Mr Corbyn�s sights is Mr Odey, �who makes millions betting against our country and on other people�s misery and donated huge sums to Boris Johnson and the Conservative party�, and Mr Murdoch, whose �empire pumps out propaganda to support a rigged system�.

The Financial Times could not immediately obtain comment from most of the business people Mr Corbyn refers to in his speech. Spokespeople for the duke and Mr Ashley declined to comment.

What Labour would mean for business � Corbyn insiders talk to the FT

The Labour leader will ask voters to choose between siding with the supposed beneficiaries of Britain�s �rigged� capitalist system, or ordinary tenants, shop floor workers and children suffering from pollution.

�When Labour wins, the nurse wins, the pensioner wins, the student wins, the office worker wins, the engineer wins, we all win,� he will say.

Mr Corbyn�s economic prospectus has hardened considerably since the 2017 general election, when Labour claimed its policies of targeted nationalisations and tax rises on the rich were firmly in the European �social democratic tradition�.

The Labour leader�s speech will confirm that the party now intends to take a much tougher approach.

Labour has already set out plans for the state to seize 10 per cent of shares in big companies, which would be given to workers.

The party is also proposing a big nationalisation programme and has floated the idea of allowing tenants to buy their homes from private landlords, possibly at a discount to the market rate.

Meanwhile, the Jewish Labour Movement has announced it will not campaign for the party in the upcoming election, due to the rise in anti-Semitism under Mr Corbyn�s leadership.

The JLM said it will not support Labour � the first time in its 100-year history � and will only offer support in �exceptional circumstances� and for �exceptional candidates�. The organisation has over 2,500 members and helped win seats�in the 2015 and 2017 elections with significant Jewish votes.

�We will not be giving endorsements to candidates in non-Labour held seats. This does not mean that we no longer support the Labour party�s policies and its historic values, nor do we wish to see Boris Johnson or Jo Swinson in Downing Street,� the group said in a statement
