I can’t stand the wings types who attack him for not being a professional economist and using excel for graphs (the same twats lauding “Prof” Richard Murphy), but fuck sake Kev, stick to selling dog food.

Exemptions, latest.
Construction workers from the EU should have the right to "settled status" in the UK after Brexit, industry bodies have urged.
The construction sector, which employs around 3 million people, faces "cliff edge" skills shortages over access to EU workers, the seven bodies said.
The Home Office said there would be an "implementation period" for a new immigration system after Brexit.
And EU citizens would be able to apply for settled status, it added.

Tusk says the EU will refuse the UK's demand for talks on a post-Brexit transition and future trade pact if Ireland is not satisfied with its offer on border arrangements with Northern Ireland.

How can you have a more democratic EU, while returning more power to the member states. The "undemocratic" arguments about the EU hinge on all the decisions being made by the individual govts in the council of europe, and in the commission, which is made up of people appointed by governments, rather than in the European parliament. Making the EU more democratic involves turning it into a proper federal superstate.

oh I know it's one of those questionnaire results, rather than the considered opinions and beliefs accumulated over a lifetime. but it's actually a position that you hear advanced in the UK. Often by politicians who are broadly in favour of the EU, but have to say something a bit negative because you know, the english media or some such.
