The House of Lords is an essential part of our sovereignty providing useful checks and balances. Obviously, I'd prefer it if Tony and Tim had the final say on A50 as I think they're the best people for the job. :D

Surely you mean that Tony and Tim were finally tied up and left on the A50.

BoE Gov, Mark Carney, finally admits 'Brexit could be smooth after all.'

http://news.sky.com/story/carney-eye...rates-10776321

Quote:
Bank of England governor Mark Carney has acknowledged that the UK's divorce from the EU may yet proceed smoothly - and that it would mean a higher path for interest rates.

Mr Carney said there was also a "less optimistic" scenario for the economy, which would dampen the path for rates.

But his comments to the Commons Treasury Select Committee about a possible positive outcome to Brexit stand in stark contrast to the dire warnings he issued before the referendum that the UK could slip into recession.
Finally a believer that there is light at the end of the tunnel, none of this doom and gloom crap.

SCOTLAND CAN’T stay in the European Union as the rest of the UK leaves, whether the country chooses to become independent or not, the Scottish Secretary is set to say.

David Mundell will tell Members of the Scottish Parliament that Scotland won’t be able to remain in the bloc, even if it holds a second referendum on independence.

David Mundell will tell MSPs that Scotland must exit the EU with the rest of the UK

He will tell Holyrood’s Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee tomorrow that there are no “easy assumptions” of how long it could take Scotland to rejoin the EU if it opts to become independent.

“There is no set of circumstances in which Scotland could remain a member of the EU after the rest of the UK has left,” he will say.

And he will add that Scotland would have to re-apply to become a member after the EU leaves, and Scotland leaves the UK.

He'll be right about interest rate ones day too.

Trouble and doom is far better for the media since it enables them to investigate, report and rehash all sorts of awful possibilities and thereby stir up a whole load of fear, panic and protest which they can then report on as well. There's a big difference between responsibly reporting news and creating news or circulating speculation and I feel there's rather too much of the latter going on these days. It doesn't just apply to the Brexit and Trump stories either because these organisations are always in need of something to report even if it amounts to sensationalising nothing more than hearsay.

But it would have to probably adopt the Euro, it certainly will not be allowed to maintain British Sterling as it's currency. It would probably also lose all it's UK Grants, which could be substantially more that what the EU gives.

The Welsh are more realistic and aren't living in an SNP dream world?*... ;)

* To be fair the the Scots, they did reject that 'dreamworld'.... just... so there is some common sense up there. :)

Sturgeon et al have been a bit quiet about this haven't they?

Maybe the EU's thinking the last thing they need is to admit a tail which likes to wag the dog into their club. :)

The EU is a rather large dog though. :D
