Because we already live in Europe. The British Isles is part of Europe. I know that is really hard for you lot to understand, not least of all because few of you could find Italy on a map without help, but it's been like that for rather a long time.

It's ironic that you would misunderstand their post re: the difference between the EU and Europe, and then proceed to insinuate the poster is lacking in geographic knowledge.

Where has the UK split?

Brexit latest: GDP growth slumps to 0.3% in first quarter of 2017

Ah yes, the ONS Preliminary Estimate.
Fine so long as you understand what the word "estimate" means.
Why don't you tell us all just how accurate these have proven to be, historically?

You were right Jock. The ONS Preliminary Estimate wasn't entirely accurate.

But presumably you think the second estimate is?

If it interests you so much see: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5654918 about this release.
And read: GDP(O) revisions - Office for National Statistics so that you clearly understand how these statistics are reported.

Mrs May had a number of reasons to call an election. Given the reliance of the service sector and the already heavily indebted consumer for growth. Any growth is positive.

Hopefully the jobs will go to a country that doesn't have a large share of the levers of power of the EU already, unlike countries such as Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Germany, which have a disproportionate share.

What are the chances of Eurocrats placating the Polish with one of these?
Or Hungary?
Never mind Lithuania, Estonia or ...........

He he. fascinating stuff from the EU.

Many countries are fighting to take over the financial regulator and drugs watchdog role, currently run by the UK.

There's so much unity in the EU that they're having to hold a secret ballot by members to see who gets what role. They don't want any punch ups if countries know who voted for who.

Presumably Juncker will eventually announce the winners X - factor style in some elaborate ceremony.


Link only headlines - rest behind paywall.

Rinoa, I am not denying that there is fun and games over the location of the Drug (medicines) agency. There is a lot of competition as it means a lot of extra jobs and tax take to the winner.
Please do not perpetuate the myth that the agency as you say is "run by the UK". It is a EU agency run by the EU that happens to presently be in Britain.
