Funny how people, like you, seem to believe that. Yet not some of the very clear evidence of harm from brexit. "Well placed" sources - but unidentified. Unless and until there is evidence as to who leaked, I'll reserve my judgement.

From Edinburgh Fringe top 10: "What's driving Brexit? From here it looks like it's probably the Duke of Edinburgh" - Milton Jones

Yes, of course, we'd all like to know. The crap that is pouring out of government mouths - all the issues have been sorted in just four weeks of BJ. And Gove saying this is the worst scenario - but just what prevents it being reality? And if it is that bad, will BJ and his mates volunteer to...

Interesting. Again, I find myself agreeing with Cummings' view of Davis.

So who is the former minister? Does BJ actually know or is he blustering and hoping the person gets revealed? No 10 furious at leak of paper predicting shortages after no-deal Brexit Government figures seek to play down predictions of food, medicines and fuel shortages in leaked document...

Thought it was a latterday teletype...

Intent or accident - both seem ridiculous.

I hate quoting the DM, but... Cripes! Boris’s Brexit script is left in a pub by a ‘drunk’ official revealing the PM is primed to tackle ‘tricky’ topics of Northern Ireland, citizens’ rights and no deal Eight-page document entitled ‘Core Brexit Brief’ was found in Westminster pub The script is...

Just to add to halloween concerns: Thousands of homes could lose their energy supplier in the coming months as a result of a financial shock looming over the industry’s smaller companies. Suppliers are due to pass on millions of pounds’ worth of renewable energy subsidies, collected via energy...

In order for people to continue working, many will require health support, which just isn't there. All too many end up with something that maybe treatable, but have to wait an inordinate time before getting that treatment, during which time work might be difficult to impossible. Simple examples...

OK - raise the prices so that the agreed price is £320k or £321k. No real change by placing the onus on the seller rather than the buyer except that the price agreed will end up £1k higher than otherwise. (Obviously, all agreements are subject to haggling, etc.)

Let us take your figure of £320k. Tax at 5% over £300k. What real difference does it make if the buyer has to pay £300k for the house and then another £1k stamp duty or the seller has to sell at £301k and then pay £1k stamp duty? Of course, the agreed price will take into account this stamp...

I heard a sentence or two on the television news. 'Struth I almost had sympathy for the audience. One of those utterly unconvincing speeches - words tumbling out of mouth without any meaning and even less emotion. Larry maiows with real emotion.

Deck chairs and Titanic time: The chancellor has refused to rule out reversing stamp duty so it is paid by the seller, rather than the buyer. In an interview with the Times, Sajid Javid indicated he was willing to consider the policy, which was said to have been favoured by Boris Johnson...

I posted about that the other day. Today adds: The Guardian this week reported that Oyak was accused of corruption by a parliamentary commission, and jointly owns a car plant where striking workers were allegedly mistreated. Oyak declined to comment when the report was put to it.

Is it only me seeing an irony in the NI connection? Seems NI could have become the iceberg. As for the meaning of titanic, how about this: Another myth concerning the Titans revolves around Dionysus. At some point in his reign, Zeus decides to give up the throne in favor of his infant son...

But if DT has already built a beautiful, beautiful wall (that we are going to pay for), the UK won't actually be able to discharge its subjects into Florida. We'd end up more like Puerto Rico - offshore, not quite a state, and utterly ignorable.

Even if it has, the original chicken should have been produced to EU standards.

So long as it is properly marked and people can afford not to eat it... I am not aware that we have any plans for compulsory marking. Especially not in restaurant and takeaway outlets.

If, for example, the UK imports chlorinated chicken (as just one example), I can see the EU being very wary over anything they might want to import from the UK which contains chicken. The obvious thing would be for the EU to try to stop any chicken-containing imports from the UK. Even if that...
