Spent some time in Andalusia last year. Is supposed to be a high unemployment region, but the picture on the street is way different.
In the UK we put our unemployed on a zero hour contract, call it a job and rejoice about the health of our labour market.
In Spain, they're actually working and getting paid cash in hand no questions asked.

I find it hard to work out what is going on with the nature of labour and the balance between employer / employee.

There was a book I read quite some time back called 'The Age of Unreason' by Charles Handy (published a quarter of a century ago).

In it he goes to some lengths to predict the changing nature of work, and how this can be managed.

He did reason that there would be a move from single income permanent work to a more piecemeal approach where you would derive similar income but from multiple sources.

His argument was that you could choose to enter this piecemeal phase in the later stages of your career, once high costs like child care and housing had been endured, and you were in a low risk zone.

But, it seems like now it's the young who are taking on this more transient, even piecemeal, income work.

Have their attitude towards risk changed or is this something more like an enforced move?

The EU is still in the early phases as a project. We might just be going through teething problems. Who really knows?

NO IndyRef2 until after Brexit': Theresa May says 'now is not the time' for second independence vote

The Prime Minister is believed to want to block Nicola Sturgeon’s preferred timetable to hold a referendum between autumn 2018 and spring 2019.

May’s staff are considering calling on the SNP to win a majority at Holyrood in 2021 before the UK Government agree to a new referendum in the hope Sturgeon would lose her pro-independence majority.

Focus group work by the Tories show Sturgeon would be weakened by calling an election on the referendum issue as most Scots are opposed to a re-run so soon after the 2014 campaign.

It's breaking news that the official response is a no.

Wolfgang Schaeuble on London financial hub says "EU should aim to maintain London's financial hub status" according to Reuters.

"I am totally aware and convinced that Europe as a whole... we have our own interest, even after Brexit, to have a strong financial centre in London," Schaeuble, speaking English, told a conference in Frankfurt.

Everyone will eventually come around to pragmatism, we want them to prosper and buy out exports and they should want us to prosper and buy their exports.

It does nobody any good to hurt the other as it's inflicting damage on themselves.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has called for a referendum to be held in the autumn of 2018 or the spring of the following year.
Speaking after Mrs May's statement, Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson said that timetable would be rejected.
Speaking at a media conference in Edinburgh, Ms Davidson said the people of Scotland should have the right to see how the UK was working after leaving the EU before deciding whether or not they wanted independence.

This is important as Ruth Davidson's view holds a lot of sway

Edit : Added after Press conference

Mr Mundell says Nicola Sturgeon's proposition will be declined.

Secretary for State for Scotland David Mundell says "we will consider every proposal put forward".
"The one put forward on Monday does not meet the criteria and will be declined," he says.
Mr Mundell says he has always said there could be another Scottish independence referendum but in this case it does not meet the criteria.
