Remote work, stay strong and the clients will learn [happy to refer]
I find most clients these days are offering either totally remote or hybrid roles. Looks like it's the minority that are insisting on fully onsite. A lot of firms have also downsized their office footprint. -

stock market crash
The massive drop in oil is much more to do with the price way launched by the Saudi's. If that persists it'll actually act as a form of short term stimulus to the Chinese and western economies. The US shale producers will take a hit as they need oil around $50 to make money -

Theresa survives - badly wounded though
You say "and do the best they can for the UK population". How does this square with a No deal Brexit which so many leavers are praying for? How does putting up tariff and Non tariff barriers to trade with our largest export market, a situation likely to lead to massive economic contraction... -

Dominic Raab Resigns!
Interesting how Brexit secretaries resign, AFTER deals they helped negotiate are announced:rollin: -

Blue passports
I suggest you read the EU-Canada trade agreement (The preferred option for Brexiters) All public procurement in Canada must now be open to EU firms. Sorry little England mob but this really really is 2018 not 1818 -

10 days...
The degree of broder 'hardness' is directly proportional to how far the UK intends to diverge from the EU regulatory framework. Please understand this is the key issue here. Just imagine that the UK decides to no longer abide by the EU regulations on poultry production for example, in order to... -

10 days...
I think the big problem has been (and to a degree still is ) the arrogance and ignorance of most of the ministers in the govt. To think that Davies actually said the EU agencies did not have to leave the UK and that was open for negotiation just shows how deluded they are. We can only hope that... -

Brexit - The Vision
There is no single vision of what Brexit UK will really look like because none was really offered. It was all slogans and soundbites. Right now the most important question the govt needs to answer is 'Europe or World?' Does the UK stay within the EU regulatory regime and thus maintain a high... -

How long will bremoaners here whine on about Brexit?
...and of course by all those new trade deals we are going to strike, although it seems the Bobs are indicating that may take quite a while.... Britain must accept higher levels of immigration from India if it hopes to sign a free trade agreement after Brexit, a senior Indian diplomat has... -

Theresa May's speech On Friday has been leaked
The best 'Brexit' we can get from a Tory govt is the kind of fudge May is offering. There is simply no way to reconcile the positions of the Hammond/Rudd wing with the Borris/Gove wing. May has kicked the ball down the road and in 2021 it will be kicked again till after the election The election... -

Theresa May's speech On Friday has been leaked
It's amazing that even now, so many still don't see the hopelessness of the UK's position and still cling to the illusion that we can somehow eat our cake and have it (cue the calls for 'Imaginative new thinking' ) The Brexit Mob will eventually find our that there is no 'New thinking ' on the... -

Sorry to hear. Hope you find them and get medieval on their posteriors. -

Brexit bill passed into law, House of Lords to go.
The Majority voted to leave. I was in the loosing camp and was bitterly disappointed by the outcome but that's democracy and now the process MUST begin. Having said that I've got no doubt that when the reality of things finally hits the govt(and the deluded 'We can have our cake and eat it'... -

Another gloomy Brexit forecast. If you're a Remnant.
Quite right too. As a remain voter, I've never for one moment supported the concept of 'soft' Brexit, we are either fully in with our opt outs or fully out. However my problem with the Brexiters has always been that they have never given the 'True cost' of what full Brexit will mean. That is... -

Local voting figures shed new light on EU referendum
I never advocated ignoring them, I just think the present situation we have of being in the EU and at the same time close to the US is quite adequate. In the future when we are out of the EU we may well find ourselves a bit too close to the US for comfort
