    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It seems like an eternity since we got news that the pound had risen on the news that agreement had been reached on a deal but it was only yesterday! Much has happened since then and the news is…….that the pound has sunk again. No surprise there, I suppose! May is now looking very much like a...

    This is what Raab had to say: Today, I have resigned as Brexit Secretary. I cannot in good conscience support the terms proposed for our deal with the EU. Here is my letter to the PM explaining my reasons, and my enduring respect for her. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I reckon if Claudio Ranieri can save Fulham FC from relegation from the Premier League, he should be appointed as our next PM. After all, he has previous for getting clubs out of the hist and if he can achieve that at Craven Cottage, he should easily manage to get the country out of...

    I'm afraid that 'Woosh' has produced so many alternative scenarios ever since he joined this thread that in the end, one of them will turn out to be close to the reality of 'Brexit'. Talk about hedging one's bets! Tom

    LEAVERS ARE NOT HAPPY!

    You're just making this up as you go along, aren't you? 'If you ask people'…….? Any of us could invent specific questions designed to produce a particular response. Over the next days and weeks, a clearer picture will emerge and it would be a brave government that continues to refuse the...
