Workwise, I've been trying to find out a bit more about how child migration in the days of the Empire and postwar Britain worked. it has also been interesting to google for old addresses in countries of the former colonies that have naturally replaced them with more relevant post-colonial ones.
Slightly saddened today that after all the calls for a cross party coalition to look at Brexit, when Prime Minister Theresa May actually opens herself to offering a step in the right direction, Corbyn derisively rejects it. Now that his popularity is way ahead of Mays, is he falling into the same trap that she fell into when popularity polls suggested that she could win the election with a large majority.
Dominic Cummings, who masterminded the vote leave campaign, is railing against some of the policies that have been promoted by the government now in power. One is the decision to leave Euratom. In frustration he is tweeting that May should 'Ignore whining from a small core of MPs who wd have destroyed Leave cmpgn if they'd controlled it, they have <15% support in country'.
The Express headlines "'We'll prove him wrong' British hauliers dismiss EU negotiator Barnier's threats on trade" (http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/826860/Brexit-news-British-hauliers-prove-EU-Barnier-wrong-trade). But read further down and the actual message in the article itself is that both the Freight Transport Association (FTA) and the Road Haulage Association (RHA) fear there is going to be chaos, unless thought is given now in the negotiations on how to handle the flow of trade. From a business, perspective, 2 years is a short time to adapt - and time is rapidly ticking away.
