Thornbury and Fox views on Brexit No-Deal. Bread, Jam and Marmalade.

Setting strawberry jam, orange & lemon marmalade. Today's loaf 

Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said today, on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, that the conflicts within the Tory party were causing an intransigence in the Brexit negotiations that could lead to us leaving the EU without a deal. In contrast, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox seemed fairly sanguine on ITV said a failure to agree a deal was "not exactly a nightmare scenario". Five major business groups have set a letter to Brexit Secretary David Davis urging him to get a Brexit transition deal mirroring the current status, otherwise British jobs and investment would be lost. Good news in that Spain has said that UK citizens can stay after Brexit with-out disruption.

President Trump has had some words of support from President Carter whilst Democratic billionaire Tom Steyer offers $10 million or more on a TV advertising campaign calling for President Donald Trump's impeachment.

At last a quiet day. Went for a walk, baked a loaf, made some orange and lemon marmalade and also retried setting an older strawberry jam by adding a bit more pectin and sugar, reheating and pouring in jars again. The new sugar refractometer was useful  for estimating how much sugar needed to be added to bring sugar concentration up to 50%.
