Merkel is playing to the home audience. Rating at an all time low. Election next year.

And I heard an analyst say there is only a 40% chance that she will stand.

DFS plans a soft landing from hard Brexit as it brings manufacturing back to Britain

“There are a number of rebalancing decisions we can do around sourcing, across major suppliers and changing locations,” Filby explained.
“We have flexibility to bring a lot of manufacturing into the UK and are a lot less Far East dependent.”

More good news.

Between June and September this year, London’s convention bureau saw a big hike in interest, compared to the same period last year. This rise is reflected across all markets, with US enquiries going up 22% over the period, EMEA enquiries rising by 22% and domestic enquiries jumping by 83%.
Several suppliers, including ExCeL London, Maybourne Hotel Group and InterContinental London – The O2, have also experienced an increase in enquiries and some overseas planners have been requesting to settle the cost of their events upfront due the fall in the value of the pound.
Paul Miller, managing director at Spectra DMC, said: "The fact that London is now better value for money has definitely had an impact on Spectra’s activity this summer. Following the result of the referendum we received an unprecedented surge of new enquiries, both from outside and inside the EU, for sizeable conferences and meetings for later this year and early 2017. Thanks to the exchange rate going down, clients have also been willing to pay more substantial deposits."

RICS reported this week that rents are set to soar - again the usual demand push imbalance, so a slowing of immigration will feed through in time, which on balance is probably no bad thing.


A relentless frenzy of immigration and building is unsustainable and degrades the environment on many counts. We need to be a little more orderly about things.

He won't be happy until the UK's on it's knees. As in the case of our friend from Aberdeen, they can't accept they were wrong, and can't accept the UK can function properly outside of the EU. Apparently we're all racists and should wander the Earth with swastikas tattooed on our foreheads.

Angela Merkel urges German firms to back tough stance in Brexit talks

Chancellor appeals to business leaders to support principle of full single market access only in exchange for free movement

Angela Merkel has significantly stiffened her rhetoric on Brexit, telling an audience of German business leaders that any exception to the EU’s single market rules would represent “a systemic challenge for the entire European Union”.

The German chancellor’s remarks reflect an apparent toughening of positions in European capitals after Theresa May announced on Sunday that the UK would begin formal divorce talks by the end of March and indicated it was heading for a “hard Brexit”.


Merkel appealed to German firms to show a united front with EU governments in negotiations over Britain’s departure from the bloc, urging them to support the principle of “full access to the single market only in exchange for signing up to the four freedoms”.



If any one country was allowed an exception, she said, “you can imagine how all countries will put put conditions on free movement with other countries. And that would create an extremely difficult situation.”


The applause for Merkel’s comments put a further question mark over the argument of British pro-Brexit politicians that German businesses will inevitably pressure their government to preserve their trade links with the UK and resist tariffs.


Markus Kerber, the leader of Germany’s largest industry group, said last week that trade, investments and single market solidarity with the rest of the EU were more important than the volume of business German companies do with Britain.

“We cannot grant any special treatment even before negotiations. Then we would have 27 special agreements tomorrow. Then there won’t be a European Union any more,” he said. “We have to negotiate really hard, we have to remain tough.”
The EU 27 would take four or five weeks to confirm a common position on Brexit once Britain had triggered article 50, Muscat said, after which day-to-day talks would be handled by the European commission’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, and his German deputy, Sabine Weyand.

doubtless you explained how supply and demand worked and how it affected prices and how 40% of the people of London are foreign born.
I guess you explained how 'foreigners' were magical people who didn't contribute to 'housing demand' in London.
Presumably you also explained how your noble vote to discriminate against all black African countries in terms of trade and immigration was really because you loved them so much and didn't want them meeting nastie old boomers.
