Don't think even Sir Humphrey could plan that far ahead to pull that one off!
The CEO of my company in the UK issued a statement on Friday, the essence of which was there were two choices:-
His reluctant decision (his words) was for option 2 |

Rees Mogg and his ERG have been bleating about their plan for Brexit.
Yes, lets follow a plan suggested by the people who couldn’t work a plan to get 48 letters together. |

The DUP has warned Theresa May to "keep her side of the bargain" on Brexit after the party's 10 MPs withheld their support in votes on Budget measures.

I'm still very confused as to exactly what end result the DUP want from Bresit.
They seem to want to leave the EU, but not have a border with the EU, but not be in any customs union (possibly?). Which is, surely, not achievable? Is there a simple list of (non-contradictory) demands from them? |

Well I've now read the withdrawal agreement/proposal and all I can say is "good luck" and "thanks for all the fishes".

Could you do me a favour? Buy some extra refrigerators and freezers to store my food in as I do believe there might be some slight delay in getting it to me after the 29th March. Thanks.
