Some things stick like chewing gum to a carpet... Boris Johnson trip on day of Heathrow vote cost taxpayer £20,000 The ex-foreign secretary failed constituents when he went to Afghanistan, says shadow chancellor

As was a) so obvious; b) utterly predictable; c) actually forecast... EU rebuffs idea of escalating Brexit talks to leaders' summit Officials dismiss hopes that May could break deadlock by negotiating with states directly

I daren't even start to think about the software cost of changing from VAT to, well, anything else.

Already a problem. Are we to be taxed on selling secondhand household and personal goods on ebay? Or newsagents' windows? Is the tax applied to P&P? Same rate for a Rolex as a box of end-of-life veg being picked up by the least well-off from Lidl? How do you handle services? How do you...

But what does "national" mean? With Scotland already have some income tax powers, it doesn't take much to anticipate the possibility of different rates in the four constituent countries. Can also foresee a rerun of the cake or biscuit re Jaffa cake...

The complexities and uncertainties of sales tax as implemented in the USA rather suggest to me that retaining VAT is preferable.

I don't think that has been the case for about six years: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15642336

I too was referring to online sales to consumers. The specific designs concerned being things like embroidery designs suitable for use on domestic machines, knitting patterns and the like. Where people sell them as one-off sales to people who want to make things using them.

Many, many years ago I had a deep questioning of the whole of retail. I came up with the idea that for many products, customers could order directly from a manufacturer and it would be sent from the literal end of the line to the end user. No customer - no product. It didn't happen then, but is...

A bit more complex in some cases. For example, a UK seller of designs supplied in digital format. There is NO turnover limit. Sell one design to someone in another EU country and you have to register for and charge VAT. Which makes it a non-starter for small sellers.

Guardian - again: British expats in EU launch Brexit legal challenge Group says leave campaign broke electoral law, making 2016 vote unconstitutional British expatriates have launched a fresh legal challenge against the 2016 referendum, arguing that the result has been invalidated by the...

Does that meaningfully differ from "speaks three languages"? I can't see them ever coming up with "three <the same> languages" (or something like that), can you?

Speaking for myself, Wickes, Screwfix, Penrallt garden centre, Merlwood Timber, Lidl, B&M Bargains, Toolstation, and numerous other local and online sources. :)

Isle of Man is not part of the UK. The Channel Islands are not part of the UK.

Cost of which was prohibitive for my first satnav - a TomTom - after the initial "free" update(s). That was initially why I switched to using my phone. It would have cost more for a couple of years or so of updates than a new device.

You can bet that they will leave huge loopholes in whatever they actually legislate. If any new law is required, it should cover causing death by any means such as roller skates, scooters, Segways, hoverboards, skis, prams and buggies, or any other form of transport or toy, powered or...

Have to say, because I am still relatively new to the area, my satnav is a real blessing. It has also been very helpful in at least identifying heavy traffic ahead and the likely impact on my journey. I usually set it for any longer journey. But the secret really is to be able to judge when, and...

My satnav (being a skinflint I use the "free" Here we go because I thought the built-in one expensive and not so well updated) regularly fails to navigate round Cardigan/Aberteifi. The route initially looks fine, but somewhere near the Teifi it suddenly decides to go to Aberystwyth or Northern...
