Brexit the economy and house prices part 6

Hmm, EU inward migration down, averages real wages up. Almost sounds like economics 101 supply and demand....you know, the stuff arch remainers told us was just racism and xenophobia.

Unemployment up too. Not all good news.

Mirror readers can stop panicking about their holidays

That's visas covered. What about the weaker exchange rate, roaming charges, loss of access to the EHIC for health insurance?

Weren't Real wages finally growing again pre referendum and then fell post referendum due to the fall in Sterling, only getting back to growth more recently, I would struggle to say the early part of the Brexit process has been good for Real wages.

Any chance of it being an Exit agreement that can actually get through Parliament, or is that asking too much?

It will be interesting to see how many rebels there will be on the Tory benches, I can't see the DUP voting for anything that even has the outside chance of treating NI differently to rUK at some stage in the future. Basically May is likely to need to get quite a few Labour rebels to pass this and I don't see where she can get enough of them from.

The DUP will have their legals all over this with a fine tooth comb.

Why Corbyn would back it when it is a major source of political capital is unclear.

If there's little chance of a General Election then might as well, simply abstain. Voting against results in a hard Brexit. Somewhat unlikely that the terms that Labour have set out as conditions of a deal are any more agreeable to the EU. Bottom line is there has to be compromise on some aspects. Impossible for everybody to like everything.

Numbers in work up too though (and by more than the increase in number of unemployed) plus a record number of vacancies. So still not bad news by any stretch.

We've got plenty of water in this country.
As long as the golf clubs are paying for the water I don't see a problem.

Any shortage of water is due to money being siphoned off.

I'm sure I read a paper saying that the water companies could have made infrastructure improvements from earnings but chose to load themselves up with debt.
Can't find the original academic paper but according to this article "Almost one third of the money spent on water bills goes to banks and investors as interest and dividends".

We still do. However the water has to get into them first. Secondly the water needs to be transported. Water is drawn from rivers as well.

Late in the day to keep on building in certain areas then wonder where the water supply is going to come from. Perhaps we need to consume less. Stop golf clubs watering their fairways and greens etc.
