Ha,Due to the wonders of Google advertising & following your earlier you-tube link, the article is now sandwiched between adverts for Harper's Bazaar & some kind of posh dating site. Must look into ad-blocking.

UK car industry facing an 'utterly demoralising' Brexit

Recently the SMMT announced that investment in the first six months of this year had reduced to just £322m, from a total of £1.66bn invested last year and £2.5bn in 2015.

Hawes said the debate about Britain’s relationship with the EU and discussion since the referendum betrayed ignorance among politicians, citing the use of the phrase “access to the single market,” which he said meant being outside it, facing customs and regulatory barriers.

Still pretty tired but pleased that she knows what's going to happen and just wants to get on with it now. Team around her seem very knowledgeable and efficient, and she has a named nurse who will be the main point of contact.

Thankyou.

"Oh, Jeremy Corbyn! Open Call For Comics About The Man And The Myth For Graphic Novel"

British graphic novel publisher SelfMadeHero are publishing a comic-book anthology about the British Leader Of The Opposition Jeremy Corbyn , MP which will be launched at the Labour Party’s Annual Conference in September 2017. Oh, Jeremy Corbyn!

"The government argued that there was no need to have access to the tribunal because its decisions on late mandatory reconsideration requests could be challenged by judicial review.

However, the tribunal said that out of 1,544,805 mandatory reconsideration decisions made by government since 2013, not one had been subject to a judicial review challenge of the kind the government suggested was a reasonable alternative.

The judgment will be greeted by access to justice campaigners as another significant victory, after the Supreme Court found last week that charges to bring employment tribunal claims, also introduced in 2013, were unlawful.

CPAG’s legal officer Carla Clarke said: ‘Not only is this a vindication for our two clients but it stands to provide justice for significant numbers of families wrongly denied the financial help to which they are entitled. This decision ensures that even if the DWP thinks there is no good reason for their delay, it cannot prevent such individuals pursuing an appeal before an independent tribunal.’

A DWP spokesperson said: ’We have received the tribunal’s decision and are considering the judgment.’


The case related to employment and support allowance (ESA), but affects all those who claim benefits from the DWP, although not tax credits through HM Revenue and Customs.

Massive,they'll appeal.
