UK economy contracts on back of Brexit uncertainty

UK economy contracts on back of Brexit uncertainty
https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... ncertainty
All going swimmingly...The UK economy shrank in the second quarter, its worst performance in six and a half years, as growth was held back by Brexit uncertainty and car factory shutdowns.
A 0.2% contraction between April and June was the weakest since the fourth quarter of 2012, when the economy contracted by 0.2%, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics.

If people care more about stopping Corbyn than stopping no deal, then they don't *really* want to stop no deal.
Its that simple.

No 10 cancels staff leave, hinting at likelihood of snap election

How very considerate of him...Special advisers were emailed by Johnson’s senior adviser Edward Lister on Thursday night, saying there was “some confusion about taking holiday” and told none should be booked until 31 October, with compensation considered “on a case by case basis” for those who had already booked leave, though the email said advisors were free to spend their weekends “as you wish”.

Interesting given who it is that's doing the blocking...
Ex-NSN director’s government appointment ‘blocked’ by Downing Street

Ex-NSN director’s government appointment ‘blocked’ by Downing Street
https://schoolsweek.co.uk/luke-tryl-spe ... -cummings/
It was announced last month that Tryl was leaving the free schools charity after just a few months in the role to become a special adviser to Nicky Morgan, the culture secretary.
Tryl previously worked for Morgan when she was education secretary between 2014 and 2016, and was due to return to her office following her re-appointment to the cabinet by Boris Johnson.
However, multiple sources told Schools Week that Tryl’s appointment has been vetoed by Downing Street. One insider told this newspaper Tryl was “pretty devastated”.
It is understood the move to block Tryl’s appointment was part of a what has been described as a “crackdown” on more moderate SpAds by Johnson’s principal adviser and former DfE aide Dominic Cummings.

Thomas Edward, a consultant at the energy specialist Cornwall Insight, says Little Barford tripped offline at 4.50pm and may have triggered the automatic shutdown of the windfarm.https://www.theguardian.com/business/li ... be8f8f680e" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"The key thing about today is that it is very windy. The strength of the system is determined by how many power plants you have running all at once. If there are a lot of power plants running and one has an outage, then the others can pick up the slack. Windfarms don’t have the same level of stability as a power plant. So, on a windy day when we rely more on wind power thermal power plants, it is more difficult to manage. We need to know exactly what happened from National Grid and the network operators to understand the full cause of the blackout."
