Yes, of course the UK could leave the EU but then stay in all its major institutions (delightful "logic" quip), but it's pretty clear that would be LINO and against both the spirit of the referendum and the main desires of the majority of the voting electorate who voted leave. Have a decent degree of job and personal security. If Bino or Lino provides that then brexit will within a few years be just a chapter in our history. |

With the exception of London it still is the country with the poorest regions compared with Western European EU member states. But then the UK likes to delude itself by always comparing itself only to countries that are in trouble atm, like Greece

This is serious stuff for Britain's future, and I don't have a lot of confidence in either of the two major parties to decide this issue well.
The ill-advised election was one step. The humiliating defeat for May this week was another. I hope she obtusely carries on with keeping the leave date in the Brexit bill and gets a drubbing on that next week as well. And then admits that she hasn't got enough parliamentary support to carry this through as is and that what she needs for a satisfactory negotiation with the EU is that backing and a clear idea of where the country should be heading before sitting down to the rest of it. |

Unity in the cabinet is a fragile thing.
Less than a week after Davis talked of a Canada plus plus deal, Hammond has said that such comments are not helpful and that the UK should push for a bespoke deal with the EU . |
Re: Post EU Referendum
Can't remember who it was but someone was suggesting on here that although it was being reported that there had been an increase in hate crime since the Brexit vote - it was illusory and it hadn't actually happened, that it was merely an increase in reports not actual incidents.
Here is some evidence that it is real Muslim footballers playing the game at grassroots level are increasingly being targeted with Islamophobic abuse following Brexit, according to the organisation that monitors racism in football. Kick It Out said the numbers of cases it has been asked to investigate has increased sharply since the vote to leave Europe. |

Could it also be due to the Manchester and London attacks and the resultant press coverage rather than/or as well as Brexit?

That story is being played repeatedly on SKY TV news and they are saying it's specifically increased since Brexit.
