Brexit trade talks may be reduced to as little as 10 months

From the linked article -
Effectively putting off trade talks until 2018 would be embarrassing for the British government,

Southern Salads ceased trading “with immediate effect” on Wednesday after 31 years supplying local restaurants and supermarkets.

The company relied on European companies for its supplies and had invested heavily in new facilities in the hope of expansion but this did not materialise.

Yes, it was yesterday. Exploratory op (an -oscopy...no, don't ask me what it's really called) to see what's the extent of it next Tuesday and a biopsy at the same time. Then they decide what to do next.

So, we'll hope for the best and hope they don't find anything too nasty in there.

The Brexit vote was about the left-behind working class.

Well-off Tonbridge folk thought it was time their area had some.

Remember that fascist on the Daily Telegraph BTL who really didn't like being called left-wing? Jake Piggot or something.
