    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I see that they are spending wasting yet more money on money: A new commemorative Brexit 50p coin has been ordered by the government, after the first batch had to be melted down by the Royal Mint because they featured the wrong date. The chancellor, Sajid Javid, originally ordered production...

    Our unbeloved PM now wants to take control of language: According to the Huffington Post, the prime minister has ordered officials to drop the term “Brexit” once the Wab passes and the UK leaves the EU on 31 January as planned. Looks like the very word is toxic rather than an achievement...

    You want a three year view, well here you are: GBP wasn't too bad in 2016, though not as good as 2015. Brexit has cost an almighty fortune in terms of price of imports.

    It is not within his, or even the government's, gift: Michael Gove has categorically promised the UK will have a trade deal with the EU by the end of next year, despite deep reservations in Brussels about whether this is possible. Totally dependent on agreement with another party (or many...

    Wait for the details. Also, how would the USA companies make enough money out of the NHS (in their view) if the NHS weren't getting enough pumped into it?

    I see your argument. Maybe they should reconsider everything? Whilst universal broadband and removal of the bad aspects of railway franchising are positive, wading in with nationalisation was not the most voter-appealing approach. However much need there is for reasonable universal access...

    I meant review A50 itself, not how it was invoked for the UK - having seen the issues with its existing wording and application.

    Except EFTA states! If the UK would apply to join EFTA, how would the EFTA States respond? The UK government has clearly indicated that it does not intend to apply for membership of EFTA. However, if the UK would seek to re-join EFTA, EFTA Member States would carefully examine the application...

    Not that many years ago it was £12 in the UK. And then the sole manufacturer raised the price repeatedly. About three years ago, two other companies started to supply but the price is still very high. The original company claimed it is difficult to make (rubbish). The MHRA were unhappy with...
