Brexit is a cover up by UK Government for failures to tackle other issues, warns business chief
The British Chambers of Commerce says the government must focus on 'getting the basics right'
Brexit is being used as an excuse not to tackle major domestic issues that would help fuel growth, business leaders will warn.
Britain's exit from the European Union has been allowed to "cloud over the rudderlessness" of recent years, Adam Marshall, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, will say.
The Government must focus on fixing the basics, including improving roads, railways and airports, boosting housing supply and simplifying the immigration system, he will tell the BCC annual conference."
Would it be too unkind to remind him of a couple of things

- The Government has never done anything useful to help industry in the past
- It is more likely to sell it and infrastructure off than try to improve things.
And you haven't realised that May will drop you proverbially "in it" when you have served her purpose?

The man who signed the DUP-Conservative agreement has said that the £1 billion which it secured for Northern Ireland should begin flowing by the end of this year. Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, the party’s chief whip at Westminster, dismissed suggestions that the funding could be on hold, saying that he expects formal Parliamentary authorisation for the spending to come next month. Sir Jeffrey said that the exact timetable was not yet known “because the House of Commons operates week to week and we get one week’s notice [of business]” but that he had no concerns about the money being paid as promised. However, if some or all of the money does not come to Northern Ireland, the Lagan Valley MP said that it would end the DUP’s agreement to support the government in confidence and supply votes, which effectively sustains Theresa May in power.
It seems he isn't confident of getting the money, and let's be honest who can blame him?
Blackmail needs a credible threat and by the and of the year there could easily be another GE with Corbyn in power, and then you can as Boris would say

‘Egregious act of aggression’: Jacob Rees-Mogg attacks Ireland and the EU over Brexit
Jacob Rees-Mogg has launched a stinging attack on Ireland and the European Union, accusing them of risking a “no deal” Brexit. The leading Brexiteer claims their suggestion that Northern Ireland should be in a common regulatory area with Brussels to avoid a hard border on the island is “absurd”.
I am getting confused, didn't Jackass previously demand a "No deal Brexit"?
Or was that just my imagination?

it seems that JRM plays both side. Officially, he wants a good deal and unofficially, he is pleased that the EU sticks to their guns, he expects no deal. Either way, he will be ready to challenge her, 'Prime Minister, why is it that you could not deliver the brexit you promised?'
The EU is right to challenge TM on the Irish border issue. It's not just the Irish border, Gibraltar is in a similar situation, would be much better off remaining part of the SM, so are the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Scotland, Wales and all the English cities.
Only the shires of England should be under WTO terms.
Only 14% of the English population live in the shires, it wouldn't be worth having customs posts on the county borders.

I'm not sure how significant this piece of news is at this time but I suspect it may trigger further migration from the London-based finance houses which many have speculated on for some considerable time.
The money men are becoming increasingly nervous the longer these negotiations continue with no sign of any mutually acceptable agreement in sight, indeed it seems as though odds on the worst-case scenario of hard 'Brexit' are shortening, week by week.

Brexsterity is upon us after Brexit. It will make austerity look like a boom.
A lot of companies have to get ready for a no deal brexit on the 1st of April because they sell annual contracts (loans, insurance, mortgage etc) which risk to be invalid if the UK has no transitional deal by end of March next year. Lots of them are based in Gibraltar.
The EU has to state clearly what they can accept for the transition deal.
If China can have one country, two systems for HK, why can't the UK?
I drove past Tolpuddle today and a bit later in the day saw the above cartoon.

it's bound to happen unless we stay in the SM.
There is still a chance that may happen.
Personally, I think staying in the SM (aka BRINO) is the sanest thing to do.
What he is really saying is " you bogtrotters have no right to oppose us and it shows extremely bad for on your part to think you can ape your betters"..
more succinctly put as "Taigs lie down "
Your point about deadlines is very relevent its not only insurances but flight schedules wgich are set up a year in advance...
the brexit negotiation could have been so much better conducted if the UK starts from the position where it wishes to remain in the SM and tries to win back more control on immigration, smaller budget contribution etc. Over time, the EU will have to distance itself from its federalists because a BRINO would make leaving much more palatable to other members.
Or perhaps three or four, or more?
Why does the EU Have to state what they can accept beyond the position they have already outlined, surely we are the ones who are in need of compromising, not them.
Our mess, not theirs.
Tories lambasted for rejecting 'latte levy' on takeaway coffee cups
Government accused of frothy talk on reducing throwaway packaging waste
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/mar/09/tories-lambasted-for-rejecting-latte-levy-on-takeaway-coffee-cups-waste
Oh well - won't be long before none of us can afford a latte (or a doppio expresso, my choice).

Correct me if I'm wrong but I can't seem to recall reading anything of this in the tory propaganda sheets:
This business seems to me very close to a conspiracy to commit war crimes but you can read a fuller piece about the matter here:

Which is just what the EU is scared of so doesn't want to allow.
