Sage (of accounting software fame) have come to the rescue! We can all relax even with no-deal... Brexit no-deal features- To give you peace of mind, we've built in functionality which can be switched on if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

I imagine that the best way of using BJ as a weapon would involve a ballista or trebuchet.

The contractual issues seem to have been ignored. By which I mean, if one of these advisers is told to get lost by DC, they will have to disappear. But the financial and other aspects will be picked up by someone else. SPAD = Special Adviser SPAD = A signal is passed at danger (SPAD) when a...

Had just been wondering whether to make almost exactly that comment myself! :)

Independent says I agree. At the same time, BJ and Sadgit are not getting on. The tory conference could be a barrel of, umm, rotten fish guts. The rift between Boris Johnson’s team and Sajid Javid is widening, government sources have said, with growing concerns in Whitehall that disagreements...

Independent says: Dominic Cummings has been handed a new formal power to sack cabinet ministers' advisers, triggering a protest from the head of the civil service union...

If you were trying to persuade the supreme court judges not to involve themselves in politics, the last thing to do would be to attempt to impose political will on their functioning. It just provides a clear example of the legislative and executive estates attempting to influence, even coerce...

Consider "hulk". If you go back far enough, there are fragments that are positive, otherwise it is quite negative. hulk (n.) Old English hulc "light, fast ship" (glossing Latin liburna, but in Middle English a heavy, unwieldy one), probably from Old Dutch hulke and Medieval Latin hulcus...

Some years ago, Sainsbury opened a large store local to me. I found shopping there was a pain for many reasons. Ranging from a car park which seemed to let in more vehicles than there are parking places, how far you have to walk, a row of forty (or some other large number) of tills with only...

Wales has published its no-deal plans. Only just seen - not yet read. No-deal Brexit: Stacking lorries and food bank cash in Welsh plans https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-49716118 The plans are here: https://gov.wales/no-deal-action-plan

I was unaware that it had been imposed post hoc. Agree that tacho time must be properly handled. Non-tacho time time should (usually) be proper rest. (I'm interested in how that will be handled post-brexit with, potentially, very long queues in Kent.) I actually thought that is was a legal...

The BBC seems to be moving away from referenda... :) BBC swaps Eurovision Song Contest selection vote for record label deal

If the delivery contract Lidl have agreed includes unloading, so be it. At least it means that no matter when the truck arrives, the person to unload it is there and doesn't have to be redeployed from tills during a customer rush. I am consistently impressed by the local Aldi staff in...

I did write to my MP re prorogation: Dear <oyster> Thanks for your email. You make your point well and the Scottish courts seem to agree. We will see what the Supreme Court now says. My own views is that any indication that the Government wished to shut down Parliament in the days leading up...

Is that true? Have read that younger people (though undefined ages) have been shunning facebook because all their rellies can see what they are getting up to. Found this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/507417/number-of-facebook-users-in-the-united-kingdom-uk-by-age-and-gender/ Rather...

Too many words: Quite rightly the EU see him for what he is, an idiot that cannot be trusted.

I note: Opinion polls late on Saturday painted a conflicting picture of the Conservative Party's political fortunes under Johnson, who wants to hold an early election to regain a working majority in parliament. A poll conducted by Opinium for the Observer newspaper showed Conservative support...
