Low Pay Commission April 2017 minimum wage rise analysis

[PaulfromYorkshire]

This struck me from the Neil interview

AN: I understand that and we may decide to continue with some programmes and we’d make a contribution to that, even after we leave. But I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about an exit fee that the EU is talking about- is demanding almost and it’s around 50 billion. So I ask again. Is that in the ball-park that you would contemplate?

TM: Well, you talk about an exit fee that the EU is demanding. There’s been a lot of speculation. Actually there isn’t a formal demand. The negotiations haven’t started yet. I’m very clear about what the people here in the UK expect, but I’m also clear that, you know, we’re a law-abiding nation, we will meet obligations that we have. And as a member, as I say, until the point at which we leave, of course, we’ll be continuing to pay according to the rights and obligations of that membership.

It's not going to be good for May if we have a £50 billion bill is it?

I think the flag eyesore problem had more to do with aesthetics, sincerely
like the people keeping Christmas lights/decorations up all year 'round
tacky

It's been there so long you can see it on Google maps. The closed pub is a bigger eyesore and it doesn't appear to be an area that tourists would go to unless they wanted to buy a used car.
I suspect the planning permission issue is something of a technicality as it is over a public pavement (but I'm only guessing) - it's not the flag shown in the Scotsman picture.

All a storm in a teacup!

Or leaving multiple England flags draped all over one's house even though there's no football tournament on...

You wouldn't dare - not up here anyway.

Well-wishers fund pedal cart for Puffy the disabled dog

FWIW I have an ever present draped flag-Red emblazoned with a tea bag and fag-the essentials.

Why is Kate Hoey defending Brexit on Newsnight and not a Tory MP?
(Or this could be a legitimate time to get Farage)

[NonOxCol]

That'll go down well.

"We knew about this attack but didn't tell you because you didn't give us a free trade deal".

"YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIVES"

is how the S*n puts it.

And my shame deepens just a little more.
