    They have stated their aims very clearly: the best possible terms for trade while retaining control over immigration.

    Have they? Could you link to this statement?

    A little, I don't know, vague and lacking detail such as how success in achieving these 'aims' is measured.
    I think what you mean is, you want them to state their negotiation tactics publicly. That would be incredibly foolish.

    Maybe the government do have very detailed aims and plans but they're currently a state secret. :)

    I think blind faith in government is incredibly foolish especially when we lack anything close to a credible opposition.

    No leaving the EU is not complicated. Whilst examining each EU law and deciding whether to amend or keep it will take years, that's not an issue as we just carry on with those laws until such time we see fit to amend, but in the meantime trade goes on, almost certainly tarif free, nowt to worry about

    Absolute laugh out loud moment here. And all this with no freedom of movement and other concessions? No joining the EFTA or such?

    I mean, I know you're going to think I'm being negative but you truly are delusional.

    Have a read of this if you care to educate yourself as to why you're delusional:

    In particular, this discourse with a Labour Leave MP is highly amusing:

    But according to the mortgage broker / lettings agent on an internet forum, everything will be simple and alright.

    What's the obsessional connection between Brexit and house prices?
    Loads of other economic indicators for August turned out to be better than expected, or downright good.

    Brexit gives us a chance to finish the Thatcher revolution

    I wonder how many of those disaffected brexiteers in Northern Labour heartlands are looking forward to finish the Thatcher revolution. ;)
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Britain’s construction industry bounced back from the slump it recorded immediately after the EU referendum vote but still failed to grow for the third month running in August.
    The Markit/Cips Construction PMI recovered from 45.9 in July to 49.2 last month but was still below the 50 level that signals growth.

    All eyes will now be on the more significant survey for services, due Monday. Services account for a far higher share of U.K. GDP.

    Great figures for construction and manufacturing, I think Monday's will be more significant of course.

    I guess it's still early days, so things could turn down again; wouldn't surprise me if things were a bit volatile for a while. Still, definitely not a disaster scenario at this point.
