    I'm trying to recall the TV programmes he was on, possibly just politics live, he never came across as a bully or someone who would get his bone out in public... strange.

    The EU showing that the Brexit deal negotiated was too hard and that trade is also affecting them. Nice to see some common sense.



    The German finance minister has issued an open invitation to the UK to reach a new deal to improve Brexit trading relations that would reduce trade barriers and “obstacles in daily business life”.

    Christian Lindner told the BBC: “This is a standing invitation for the UK: if you want to intensify your trade relationship to the EU, call us. We really appreciate the United Kingdom and its values, its people … and I would really, really appreciate it if we can intensify [the trade relationship] again.”

    His comments will come as a surprise to the European Commission vice-president, Maroš Šefčovič, who negotiated the Brexit trade deal, and they throw the door open to the Labour leader, Keir Starmer, who has said he will seek “a much better” relationship with the EU if he wins the next general election.

    Yep. When the rules changed, all it meant was that you couldn't give your wife a job. If she already had the job, it was fine....

    Did someone say U-turn ....

    "The UK government has scrapped legislation
    that would have tightened corporate governance rules for large companies after the financial services industry lobbied against the changes. Business secretary Kemi Badenoch withdrew the “burdensome” legislation after companies raised concerns about the cost of the new corporate reporting requirements, said the Department for Business and Trade on Monday.

    The legislation was put forward by the government just three months ago."
