    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The referendum asked two questions, do we want to remain within the EU or do we want to leave the EU. Roughly 70% of the population did not vote to remain in the EU, and as you point out, about 68% didn't vote to leave. So where does analysing what was not voted for take us? Nowhere. Refers to...

    Not quite as bad as it appeared on the news app on my watch. Just had chance to look a bit closer at what has actually been said and it's not May saying it. It was Michael Howard...

    Just had a Telegraph news app alert on my phone. Theresa May states she is prepared to go to war to protect Sovereignty of Gibraltar. Is this a joke?

    But who is to say that any one person's post is completely wrong? Because an opinion expressed within the post fails to dovetail with your view of the world does not make it wrong. It makes it different. To make a self declaration of being correct and therefore the other person is a fool is...

    You say that the UK is holding back EU progress. Progress towards what? What is the ultimate aim and do we really want to be there? I think the EU has some very difficult and potentially catastrophic challenges ahead, in particular the basket case economies that they have hoovered up during...
