the market prices in no deal brexit but I guess Bojo needs only to deliver brexit, the no deal status won't last long. parliament will accept a deal or require fresh GE as soon as November.

if the Pound goes that way, I think brexit would be abandoned well before reaching parity with the Euro or the USD. People are willing to put up a bit to see how things pan out but they don't want their money losing its value to that extend or a hundred thousand job losses.

the main thing to avoid about commuting in all weather is rust. cheap bikes have poor quality parts (like suspension fork, stem, brake levers) whose chrome gets pitted in months if exposed to our wet weather. Brake cables and even chain get rusted too. Go for parts that can't rust or are...

you commute in all weather, that's a tough ask on a low cost bike. However, the faults you listed could have happened to any bike, not just the Carrera. A mid or front motor would have reduced the risk of broken spokes but broken spokes could have been avoided if you checked for loosened spokes...

it's cheaper to re-lace the rear wheel with a better rim and spokes.

the referendum is advisory, the real battle is who or which party governs this country. When TM called the GE in 2017, the dice was cast. Both Labour and Tory were pro brexit. 2 years later, a lot myths have been shown up, remain leads in polls. The only way to stop or soften brexit is to remove...

then you have to let them experience brexit.

you implied that the vote was not valid because electoral laws were broken by leave promoters.

then their vote is valid until the question is asked again.

the vast majority of those who voted for leave did not break any law nor associated with those who did in any way. People like Cummings think of themselves as warriors, normal laws don't apply.

without Corbyn, we may not even leave. or left on a soft brexit.

suspension is always a good feature on e-bikes unless you have a weight constraint. Typically, a Suntour NEX weighs 2.6kgs against 600g for a rigid fork. Adding front suspension will add about 2kgs to an e-bike. The Rio MTB has a lighter suspension (RST Omega) because the lower legs are made out...

that may be a bit too far, best gap is about 10mm. You mat need to add a spacer under the speed sensor to close the gap.

all the uncertainty is actually caused by about 40 ERG MPs led by Marc Francois and Steve Baker. We would have left the EU by now if it weren't for their atlanticism. Even after we've left, there is still prospect for utter chaos caused by the incompatibility between a deal that saves jobs...

we'd like to think so but I reckon the EU actually wants us to negotiate while we don't have access to their market and they have cheap access to ours.

there is no chance that the tory party renounces brexit, no matter how hard it hits the economy. Another by-election defeat is not going to endear them to the EU.

Portillo did a very good job last night on Channel 5: https://www.my5.tv/portillo-the-trouble-with-the-tories/season-1/episode-2-2-2-2-2 For once, the politicians say it like it is.

if we still have no deal with the EU over 5 years, our exports to the EU27 will be reduced to little more than seafood and Scotch whiskies while our imports change little.

simple division indeed, but the long term effect is very different. Their producers are not exposed, the EU administration will get more money from import duty levied on UK products bought by the EU27 than our current direct contribution, their income will not be exposed. They can sit back as...
