    Brexit, for once some facts.

    they have to decide on one key question: in or out of the Single Market. It's hugely complicated.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's not May who delays the process. David Davis' department is the key. They need to recruit economists and there are not many who actually think that brexit is a good thing for the UK economy. Brexiters would say, sod the economy, we just stop paying and leave. Of course, our three brexiteers...

    Events: 15th NEC Cycle Show Birmingham: 23rd-25th September 2016

    the consequence of that policy is reduced participation due to high cost. Contrast this show with Redbridge where anyone could come and show their wares for free.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Boris? cheap talk. I don't think he is going to do anything for Turkey. If May kicks him out, now the press will really be interested.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    yes, I think she will last until she calls the big 50. Then the tories will knife her in the back at the first opportunity.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am pleased that the labour has taken position on this. Apparently, Johnson would now do 'anything he can' to help Turkey join the EU. Our three brexiteers have obviously nothing better to do.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can't see the question 'what does brexit mean?' be adequately answered without a general election. Basically, all major parties will have to update their manifestos and put them to a vote.

    yes, I watched the report om Labour conference this morning. They seem a lot more coherent now than same time last year. Emily Thornbury is dead right: The tories still have no brexit plan to speak of.

    May now blames the SNP 'partly responsible for brexit': http://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/snp-partly-responsible-for-brexit-claims-theresa-may-1-4239701 bizarre. May writes in an article for Holyrood magazine. I thought the Scots first kicked out the tories, then labour for the reason...

    the Pound sinks a little bit further this morning. Currently at $1.29. If this trend continues, we may have early general elections as the only way to decide on what brexit really means. “The obvious is always the least understood.” - Metternich
