Morning.

At last night's British Journalism Awards, the Journalist of the Year award went to Nick Ferrari.

Always like to start the day with some good news.

Morning all.

Inflation up to 3.1%. [edit] which means that Carney has to get the pen and paper out to write to Hammond...

Even more worrying is the commentary to producer prices.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflatio ... vember2017
The headline rate of inflation for goods leaving the factory gate (output prices) rose 3.0% on the year to November 2017, up from 2.8% in October 2017.

Prices for materials and fuels (input prices) rose 7.3% on the year to November 2017, up from 4.8% in October 2017.

Ro'T and AAW - I was just here to share that too. From politico
The remaining EU27 countries have “hardened” the language of a proposed Brexit resolution for this week’s European Council summit in response to U.K. Brexit Secretary David Davis’ comments on Sunday that last Friday’s Brexit deal with the EU was “more a statement of intent than a legally enforceable thing,” according to three EU diplomats.

At a Monday meeting of sherpas ahead of the summit, at which EU leaders must formally sign off on the agreement with the U.K. that Brexit talks move on to phase 2, diplomats redrafted a summit declaration on Brexit.

The latest draft of the document now says negotiations can only progress to phase 2 “as long as all commitments undertaken during the first phase are respected in full and translated faithfully in legal terms as quickly as possible,” according to a read-out of the declaration
The only way May could keep her party together was to brag that what they hadn't agreed with the rest of the EU was what they had in fact just agreed with the rest of the EU. They either thought the EU wouldn't notice or they just didn't care what the EU thought. Why this isn't 'we interrupt this program for a newsflash' news is beyond me. (Well, it's not because I'm a lost cynic but you know what I mean.)

Well, a lot of posters over at the Guardian are labouring under that misapprehension. But, tellingly, they're mostly (if not all of them - I've only dipped in and out) "Brexiters".

You can point it out, but the problem is that nobody out there actually believes it.

I saw this the other day but since I haven't got a sub I can't read it all.

https://www.hsj.co.uk/policy-and-regula ... 63.article" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The former chief executive of NHS Improvement has said £1bn could be saved by “ruthlessly” stripping back national bodies and local commissioners – and warned that plans to establish accountable care are “far too bloody complicated”.
I would have thought that Tories would be all over this story like a rash but given that it was Lansley that put this labyrinthine mess in place, maybe that's why we've not heard anything.

It's insane - look at what's in the news, none of it makes any sense and there's the reason for it. May's Tories are lying on their feet to the home crowd contradicting what they've promised the EU. I'm shocked, astounded by it.
