Re: Brexit discussion
In news that may annoy Brextremists like Rees-Mogg, the Government will today publish its future contribution payments to the EU. It will also reiterate that there will be no Brexit dividend; payments that would have gone to the EU will now fund equivalent UK bodies and extra money may be needed if by any chance we are allowed to have associate membership of EU regulatory bodies such as the one for medicines.

No one expects us to negotiate a trade deal with the EU by March 2019. These things take years. But we should be able to negotiate a transition deal (or whatever form of words you wish to use) by then to prevent a hard Brexit.
