UK's GDP growth in February was 0.5%.

Was weaving around the potholes good for the economy after all?

The fact is most of us find the "ends" don't come even close to "meeting".

Q. Why does the #IMF believe the UK is more exposed than other nations?

A. #Brexit indicates we are obviously nuts

Government (or all hues) have left the population without food/energy/health/defence security and the only reason the UK is in the G7 is the rapidly diminishing success of the City of London

Encouraging (and providing accessibly ways for) students to experience other cultures and ways of teaching & learning is a fantastic tool for broadening horizons and improving understanding & tolerance.

It was a travesty that #Brexit meant the end to the UK's involvement in #Erasmus and it's heartening to see this bridge being rebuilt.

@therightarticle strictly no. They'll reveal pro-EU feeling in Scotland, which has always been pro-EU, and in Wales. The #Brexit movement was always essentially an English nationalist movement, and elections in Scotland and Wales say nothing about sentiment in England.

Ten years after Brexit vote what's been particularly notable is that after an early flurry of other members flirting with their own 'exit' movements, as the disaster of Brexit has become clearer the appetite of politicians in existing EU members to engineer their own exit has quietly disappeared

Brexiters told us we would be first of many, but what has actually happened is Brexit has served as a telling example of political folly - an unexpected political service to the EU?
