Great news.
Who needs Europe if we can sell euro-clearing to Botswana and Devon Tea to Papua New Guinea.
Britannia rules the waves once again!

Rampant inflation and economic decline aren't exactly vote winners.

I will make a note of your prediction. Will be most entertaining when the opposite outcomes come to pass, which they will.


Modest inflation is no bad thing and reasonably likely, but no more than this. Britain is more dynamic and safer going forwards and the icing on the cake is our long awaited re-balancing towards exports, away from imports. We make and can make plenty of the things we need, no need for so many imports.

Chill man. You'll put yourself in an early grave.....

...and the tea was Cornish not Devonish....

Labour doesn't need a plan.

I doubt that at the current time they have even the capability to even draw one up. They've moved so far out of the centre. That May is going to have a field day. People are demanding change. I suspect she's in tune with grassroots. Be the first politician in over 20 years if that were the case.

UK services PMI beats expectations in September

Activity in the UK services sector grew more than expected in September, according to data released on Wednesday.
The final Markit/CIPS services purchasing managers’ index fell to 52.6 from 52.9 in August, which was better than the 52.0 reading economists had been expecting

A few weeks back the remoaner talk was of 'just wait until the figures for September start coming through, you will see pain', lol. Today they're promising me big pain by December.

We're not going to see much happen until the trigger is pulled and the plan starts to happen.

I'm not doubting that some of the boost is due to Brexit - the drop our currency took makes us appealing to other nations and tourism is on the up. But will things be the same once we leave? Who knows.

Hello, new here. I'm not sure where to post this, but figured this *seems* like it might be the appropriate place.

As a small business owner, I've had a number of issues since Brexit. One of the more concerning issues has been that some of my suppliers have raised their prices, the average increase has been 20-25%. In one case a supplier retroactively increased their wholesale costs. The reasons I've been given across the board has been "Brexit". How it's justifiable or possible (legal) that prices can be hiked retroactively, I don't know.

I employ a small team of British workers, all paid a living-wage or more depending on position (I wouldn't have a business without them). If things continue going the way they are (price increases, less of the public spending) I won't have a business left to employ anyone.

If anyone here can advise on the law regarding retroactively hiking prices, I would appreciate it. I'd also be interested to know if this is happening to other small/large businesses across the UK.

Reading the announcements today in disbelief.

I suddenly realise that David Cameron and his cabinet weren't that bad in comparison to this nightmare.

One good thing, I guess that's all another half a million Labour members.

May's objective here is to compel UK firms to do what they always used to do when planning for future labour needs; Get in with local schools, offer and on the job training, and NOT abandoning local communities in favour of cheaper ready made migrants.

Anyone not getting behind this is part of the naïve, careless liberal elite under who's watch life would get worse and worse for working class people

Yes Farmers need to pay FAIR WAGES, to attract UK workers instead of cheap migrants and yes this means us acting like responsible adults and paying a little more / eating a little less

The virtue signalling liberal elite are not on the side of the working class and any laws they introduced would keep wages lower than they would be in the absence of MASS immigration. They wouldn't;'t protect the self employed at all - liberals never mention the grubby self employed

But long term unemployment is just 1% (and some of them will be unemployed for good reason) and since it's impossible to get that figure of 1% down to zero your only choice in finding British strawberry pickers and British shelf stackers and British waiters is to recruit them from their current jobs. So why do you want British people in higher paid better condition jobs to be demoted to strawberry pickers?

Without migrants doing the low pay low condition jobs pushing the locals up the local working class boys and girls will have to do them.
