The European Union's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier warned British ministers and businesses who are calling for "frictionless trade" with the EU after Britain leaves that that is "not possible".
Addressing an EU business forum in Brussels on Thursday, Barnier said London's "red lines" for a future trade relationship meant Britain was definitely leaving the single market and the customs union, while only membership of both permitted the current "frictionless" trading arrangements.

Who predominantly funded the "leave" campaign? Hedge funds. Who predominantly benefit from economic uncertainty and stock market volatility? Hedge funds. In whose interests is our country currently being run.....?The Conservative party is heavily reliant on large cash donations from hedge funds, bankers, and magnates to fund its campaigns, according to a new analysis of the party’s finances.
Since the 2015 general election 18.6 per cent of all donations to the party – totalling £8.4m – have come from hedge funds or people associated, while 6.5 per cent or £2.9m have come from investment bankers and the finance sector in general.

They do like talking in superlatives. Fox earlier on inward investment which seems to involve some very interesting accountancy, and now how cutting £5bn is how no government has done more.In the Commons earlier Steve Brine, the care minister, said: “No government has done more to improve the quality of social care.” He was responding to an urgent question from the shadow health minister Barbara Keeley. Keeley said the report highlighted the “damaging impacts” of cuts worth £5bn to care budgets since 2010.

Company chiefs and representatives from around 20 business groups are descending on the government’s plush country house Chevening in Kent to discuss the UK’s exit from the EU as part of ministers’ efforts to build bridges with the commercial sector.
“The amount that our members have been able to plan so far has been limited because no one has known where exactly we are going but businesses can only really hold off so long on making contingency plans.”

andApprenticeship start rocketed in the months before May when mandatory cash contributions from employers kicked in, the latest Department for Education figures show.
Shocked etc...As reported in FE Week, the unofficial estimates put apprenticeships starts in May as very low.
So the figures released today strongly suggest providers and employers rushed to start before apprentices before the new rules and funding regime kicked in.

Disclosure.I once got a voucher for recommending a friend to a profit making lawncare firm,worse still I have a letter of praise from a Tory PM for the part I(we) played in the long term economic plan.I realise any claim "to despise the Tory Party with every fibre of my being" is obviously totally negated by this utter hypocrisy.There is even a mention of a "tape" of further proof,possibly aiding the completion of a crossword in a right wing newspaper/journal,which would prove indisputable evidenceas as to my fakery.
