Your link nicely (albeit, briefly) covered the US military spending with Boeing and associated issues.

OK - so just another headline... UK firms plan mass exodus if May allows no-deal Brexit Business group warns that companies are getting ready to shift operations abroad https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jan/26/brexit-british-firms-mass-exodus-no-deal

Your questioning is a good thing. I have often thought, even suggested, that we perhaps could have an annual referendum EU membership. Quite possibly, some years the result will suggest leaving whilst other years it will be remain. The critical bit is that we don't suddenly jump out. We...

Strange how the UK can demand far off Venezuela agree to an election within eight days. When the same government has refused a second referendum, it is insisted there is not enough time, and the whole HoC wandered off for How Long? over Christmas. When it comes to the f-word, in this case -...

Just what sort of person thinks it is OK to make great claims without even understanding it himself? He obviously holds his audience, both of the program and now of that article, in utter contempt.

Agreed - I just wanted to keep my initial post of lament nice and simple.

What do you mean, "dodgy"? Haven't you heard they are now actually hiring: Seaborne Freight: The No-Deal Brexit Ferry Firm Is Finally Hiring Staff Two roles are being advertised – just two months before Brexit day...

Shouldn't you hand out vomit bags with that? I rather liked the Tintin image further down the twitter page.

We have known this would happen for a long time, nonetheless the actual event is sad and is one very obvious loss caused by brexit - before it has even happened. Key EU medicines regulator closes London office with loss of 900 jobs European Medicines Agency heads for Amsterdam 63 days before...

The USA's IRS has not even been able to get its own staff to turn up (unpaid) for their own needs due to their shutdown (now, I hear, at least suspended). They asked for 26,000 workers to turn up and 14,000 couldn't even be contacted!

Of course, it is all being invented by remainers - everything will be fine... Cabinet Office compares no-deal Brexit to Iceland ash cloud chaos Eyjafjallajökull seen as nearest recent example of what civil service could have to cope with...

But Holyhead is near Wyfla which will have copious amounts of power. Great for the Irish link. Oh dear... Hitachi pulled out. (Please ignore the many years we'd have had to wait for it to be built and then produce any electricity.)

Hammond: He said a promise had been made to voters in 2016 that they were choosing a more prosperous future: “Not leaving would be a betrayal, but leaving without a deal would also be a betrayal.” My head is spinning trying to reconcile what looks to me like a reduction in prosperity from...

Wait until they hear the details...

But it is taking back control. To them that hath, more. Business (at least, some business) has been trying to ramp up its control forever. Every time the people make a gain, business works to take back their control. This seems just another step.

Are there any drones capable of flying 24/7? Which implies in all weathers? Admittedly the actual article doesn't say the drones will be flying 24/7 but typically of headlines, the word "drones" is given prominence when they might only be used a fraction of the time. Possibly only when the...

I do wish people would not automatically include me in their statements! So here we are. A deadline we cannot meet, an argument neither side can win, and an entire nation that can't admit this was all a lot more complicated than we realised. It is not more complicated than I - and surely...

Give cats the vote then run second referendum: The boss of Pets at Home, the nation’s biggest pet supplier, said his company had started stockpiling essentials – including cat food – as “we don’t want families to run out of food for their pets” after Brexit day on 29 March.

Beautifully timed for Easter.

Is there a government assessment somewhere that leavers are more likely to indulge in civil unrest than remainers? If there is not, this appears to be perverse and fire stoking. If there is, it rather shows that the government would rather pacify them than consider the current opinions.
