giddavid.bsky.social @giddavid.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Not sure at what point I was critical about Schengen? I was merely pointing out that were it to apply to UK, Ireland would need to agree also. 100
giddavid.bsky.social @giddavid.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Non Euro EU members can borrow cheaply if they manage their finaces well. Nordics etc. Regardless and for the avoidance of doubt I would have no problem joining the Euro, but my response to the OP was pondering whether the EU would want that given the bank liabilities they would be taking on 100
giddavid.bsky.social @giddavid.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Joining the Euro would not automatically mean cheaper rates. In fact cast your mind back to GFC and Italy was borrowing at sky high rates due the inability to devalue, while Sterling debominated debt was much cheaper. Rejoining the EU would drive down UK borrowing costs due to economic benefits 100
giddavid.bsky.social @giddavid.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Interesting whether they would insist on us adopting the Euro - that would mean ECB being lender of last resort to UK banks... Plus insisting on Shengen presumably means it would have to apply to Ireland as well? 320

giddavid.bsky.social @giddavid.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Unfortunately not only would it be ineffective, it would be counterproductive - Reform would love it to happen so they can whip up all the nanny state net zero BS and make a future Reform govt more likely. Labour are in a tricky spot... 000
