Have you ever read the comments below articles (when they're open). They'll all contain criticism of the editing and 9/10 about the sub-eds headline misrepresenting what the article is actually saying.surrey_commuter said:

You also need to know how much of the 42% was covered under the EU and is no longer covered. In many cases there is nothing to stop an EU firm contracting a UK one for services.kingstongraham said:
Thanks, so it doesn't cover the 42% that is services - that's a larger number than I expected, to be honest.Stevo_666 said:

You are being conditioned to be more British.
You will be more aware of being overseas than before and will have more opportunity to engage with the locals and become all the more aware of their limitations. As part of Eu, travel was far too easy.
I suggest retiring to your room and admiring the blue hue of your passport.1 -

The first book, War is fine. It's exciting with battles and stuff, but don't bother with book 2, Peace. I mean who wants to read about that after the excitement of War. If anything, he should have reversed the order, build up the tension....TheBigBean said:

I have a theory that all long books should end a chapter or two sooner e.g. War and Peace, Lord of the Rings. The author simply can't put the pen down.0

Chancellor Rishi Sunak: The City could be set for a post-Brexit Big Bang 2.0
In a candid interview with City A.M., the Chancellor also pushed back against criticism of the UK’s trade deal with the European Union, saying that it should “reassure” businesses about the relationship between the City and the bloc.
But he says the real priority is to “get on and make sure that the City of London remains the most dynamic place to do financial services anywhere in the world” and that the Treasury would look to “play a role” in giving the financial services industry a boost.
