<i>British exporters sending goods to far-flung destinations in the coming days risk being locked out of harbours around the world as a no-deal Brexit looms, business leaders have warned.
The Confederation of British Industry, the EEF manufacturers’ lobby group and trade experts said exporters could be dispatching goods from UK ports imminently, which would not arrive until after the 29 March deadline – raising the prospect of goods being stuck in ports or facing hefty additional costs in the event of a disorderly Brexit. The maximum shipping time to anywhere in the world is about 50 days – with the furthest being Australia and New Zealand – meaning cargoes sent from this weekend could face disruption when they arrive around the 29 March deadline.
Ben Digby, international trade director at the CBI, said: “In the event of a ‘no-deal’ Brexit, there are ships that are setting sail from the UK today that will have to weather a thick extra fog of uncertainty on the high seas, as they could arrive in port effectively locked out of the very market they have travelled across the world to get to.”
He warned that a shipment of whiskey going to South Korea could risk having to wait in its destination harbour until the situation becomes clear. As much as £71m of bottles are shipped to Korea each year, with the potential for 20% tariffs to be slapped on bottles overnight should they not arrive in time for 29 March, costing the industry £14m a year.
The problems for seabound British exports – and imports – applies to several countries with EU trade deals where the UK benefits from preferential trading rights as a member of the bloc, which risk being lost straight away under a no-deal scenario.</i>

Anyway, I believe that Corbyn is playing for time in order to avoid being forced to oppose Brexit. If this does lead to no deal there's no chance of the Tories wanting another election - and I doubt the DUP would either.
https://politicalbetting.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/2194270#Comment_2194270I'm (always anyway) on the vanilla site - I prefer to read the latest above me rather than below me - and it is ugly as sin on here as well. Plus no editing of the comments still which means character limits are tricky to manage. As are spuriously editing the posts of Brexiters to make them seem less mad.
TOPPING - Weird, the latest on the Vanilla site is always at the bottom for me, but on the top on the main site (as I prefer it, too). Editing of comments was possible on both, the cog only appeared when you mouse over your comment
Wow, this is a completely risk-free bet whichever way the meaningful vote goes. Sadly I'm limited to a £5 stake but clean accounts should be able to make nearly £500:
[{"insert":"Rob D\n\nI can't quote anyone at all on this new system.\n\nI have to start an entirely new post.\n\nWith Netweather, yes, you can nest a quote.\n"}]

Anyone seen "Vice"? Christian Bale is an extraordinary Dick Cheney but unless you are tapestry or Michael Moore you won't believe a word of it! I know Cheney was a very naughty boy but is it likely he was personally responsible for manufacturing the evidence that Saddam was responsible for 9/11 so they could invade Iraq and nick their oil? Mind you Tony Blair makes an appearance so anything's possible.
(I should say it purports to be an accurate story of his life from Harvard onwards)
Not only is Chris Grayling behind the upgrade of Vanilla, news reaches me that the writers and producers of season two of Westworld were also involved.
Comments
Obviously!
https://politicalbetting.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/2194212#Comment_2194212At the moment I’d say it was pretty neutral. Anyway, the Brexit vote was more about the direction in which the EU is going.
What will be sorted first, Brexit or Vanilla's formatting...
And why do all avatars have to be circles these days? grumble grumble
Sunday's thread will be about AV.
Good news everybody.
One of Sunday's thread will be about AV.

It's impressive.
The interface gets worse every time I refresh the page
https://politicalbetting.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/2194239#Comment_2194239Vanilla as a metaphor for Brexit works brilliantly.
So cut us a break, and stop refreshing the page, Scott.
Grrr. Vanilla is really annoying me.
I really don't have time to change the site's commenting system. But I may have to :-(
There was an error rendering this rich post.
https://politicalbetting.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/2194243#Comment_2194243A great reset? :o
GRRR. GRRR. GRRR.
Is it just nesting comments causing messages not to post?
If so, just stopping that for a short time remedies the problem.
The comments seem to publish ok via the forums.
Morris_Dancer - I think it is comments from the main site (perhaps only the desktop version) that aren’t appearing normally.
Skimming throug the Vanilla website, the help page on the rich editor does say it is in beta, and sort of implies it can be disabled.

Mr. D, ah, I post comments via the Vanilla forum as standard anyway.
Morris Dancer: surprisingly futureproofed.
Hey ho.
Morris_Dancer - I had assumed your posts were dictated, transmitted via telegram, and input manually into PB’s servers.
Mr. D, nonsense. My posts are carved in stone, and a specially bred discus-throwing enormo-haddock hurls the message into Vanilla Towers.
https://politicalbetting.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/2194256#Comment_2194256A shame it only stores one level, although maybe that is a necessary evil to avoid blockquote disasters.
Ipsos MORI has Labour and Conservatives on 38% each (nc) while confidence in Theresa May to get a good #Brexit deal falls:

Annoyingly, I had to trim out your quote there.
https://politicalbetting.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/2194270#Comment_2194270Well, both, but only the latter works and I'm not used to seeing comments with most recent at the bottom.
@Topping I see what you mean about the character limits, and the madness natch.
How long until Robert calls for a complete and total shutdown of Vanilla until we know what the hell is going on?
https://politicalbetting.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/2194278#Comment_2194278I'm sorry Robert, I can't do that.

https://politicalbetting.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/2194282#Comment_2194282The second time, yes.
Coincidentally, I am going through a similar IT 'upgrade' in my professional life.
https://politicalbetting.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/2194247#Comment_2194247If you look at netweather's forums, the platform they use works really well.

Vanilla is a pile of rubbish in comparison, even the old version, which was an order of magnitude better than this 'upgrade'.
Ugh, vanillas new editor is totally incompatible with the iPhone spell checker. I’m certain no one tested this.
Wow, this is a completely risk-free bet whichever way the meaningful vote goes. Sadly I'm limited to a £5 stake but clean accounts should be able to make nearly £500:

This rich, creamy post is delicious.
Mr. Dancer makes exceedingly good posts.
As a Canadian operation they have to limit their exposure in a 'lawless' UK so have to change their deal with PB.
