Brexit deal ‘in sight’ TODAY – but last minute bizarre spat over batteries holding it up

EU member states have started to prepare the provisional application of new UK trade deal from...

Here's a thought for fun. IF the principle of having to be based in the EU in order for UK Financials to continue trading is accepted, then it must be as simple as all EU Fishing Fleets having to re-register in the UK domain, be based at a UK Port ...

EU’s Barnier: Possibility Of Brexit Trade Agreement Remains

EU’s Barnier: Possibility Of Brexit Trade Agreement Remains

Narrow path! Narrow Path? Heck, you wish these politicians could hear themselves at times. Running out of cliches there've been so many. Who blinking cares whether it's a multi-lane highway or a tightrope, so long as it can be travelled along and it ...
