Dave's authority was shot, if he hadn't resigned then he would have been ousted, heck even if he had won the referendum some of the Leavers were planning on triggering a VONC on June 24th 2016.
He did as much as possible given the way Leave campaigned. You've had two years to catch those unicorns.
Given how many retail chains are struggling and how many boarded up shops there are there must be some businesses doing very well to balance these out.
Amazon?
Its a possibility.
Personally I rarely find them as cheap as Tesco, Argos or Ebay but I guess many people look only at Amazon for convenience.
I do use Amazon occasionally but I find their site a PITA most of the time - the results you get from a search can be rather baffling - clearly driven much more by their advertisers/vendors that by the customer.

I have reached the point in “Fall Out” where Theresa May has to literally beg Juncker to save her from defenestration, while Selmayr snickers in the corner.
Juncker relays this to the 27 heads of government who then debate whether it is worth trying to keep Theresa in post.
Don't forget to take your towel with you when you leave home tomorrow.
But if you do forget. Don't Panic!
I know it’s GDPR day!
Who thought of this stupid idea - I am tired of getting endless opt in emails and completing online forms. I just had to fill out one to remain subscribed to the AELTC so I could still get news about the Wimbledon tennis.

If they're doing well now the aim will be to sell us down the river later.
I would get out more but making bad puns is much more fun.

Thames waits for no man, no matter how Volga. But I guess you’re in deNile. Don’t work it’ll all come out in the Wash
Only four puns? You should have aimed for Severn.
(BTW, did you mean 'worry' rather than 'work'?)
None of my criticism is intended to be Trentchant, and I may even have Mersey if you admit defeat.

Cancellation of talks with Kim might harm Trump's popularity and therefore affect the midterm results. This is of interest to punters on the midterms (and also those interested in the future of the US and the world).
Trump’s handling of North Korea has been popular and may account for the recent uptick in his popularity ratings (which are still abysmal)
Average percentage of Americans who approve or disapprove of Trump’s handling of different issues
I'm all in favour of parallel currencies. Greece should have done the same. Let the market determine the relative values. I'm dubious about Marxist top down control by central banks.
Prediction: there will be a very Brexitty northern constituency on this list, and Lab remain will edge Lab leave. With the way votes have moved since 2015, that will suggest a fairly large Lab remain majority existed at the previous election.
First up Maidenhead, apparently the constituency with the second largest Tory remain vote in the country. Lol.
Hemsworth up - Normanton and Featherstone definitely hit the left leave pit village button, 20% Kipper at GE15 and 3%ish Lab to Con swing in 17, very typical of the sort of northern seat of metro remainer imagination. Here Lab remain edged Lab leave here 43:42. Prediction intact.
Normanton isn't in Hemsworth constituency.
Its in the constituency of Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford.
There's a clue in the name
My mistake, the predecessor seat did contain Normanton and I erred in the skim read.
Still, the substantive point is that this polling suggests to me that there are probably no more than 20-40 GE 17 seats where more leavers than remainers voted Labour,. In a large percentage of northern, E Mids and S Wales WWC seats, the Labour vote still tended towards remain to varying degrees. Go back to GE15, subtract out subsequent UKIP to Lab switching, and I would suspect no more than half a dozen seats where the Labour vote itself was Leave leaning.
Yet the myth has grown that these are the people that drove Brexit rather than shire and indeed WWC Tories. The myth has grown that Labour should triangulate to leavers in their own base. Of course Corbyn's diffidence reduced the Labour remain vote from what it could have been, but that is not the same metric.

But Tesco couldn't make it pay so its not simply a shift to the internet.

Good for you! Government attempting to control money has been the primary cause of economic meltdowns for well over a century.
Clicked on an old link, from June 2017. God, Nick Timothy really did screw the country.
The Times has been told that at least one senior official intimately involved in the Brexit negotiations was at one stage prevented from seeing the prime minister by Mr Timothy. Sir Ivan Rogers, who was then Britain’s permanent representative to the EU, tried to alert Mrs May to what he believed were flaws in the government’s understanding of Brussels.
“He was told that he couldn’t write submissions to the prime minister and that everything had to go through the chief of staff,” one insider said.
“He tried to get one-to-one meetings with Mrs May and was rebuffed. Everything that the prime minister saw or heard was controlled by Nick.”
Senior sources said no attempt was made by Sir Jeremy to ensure Sir Ivan got access to Mrs May. Believing he had been frozen out, Sir Ivan quit. A former senior Whitehall figure said that had disastrous consequences for the initial stages of Brexit preparations.
“Losing Ivan Rogers at that point was really bad just as we were preparing our position on Article 50,” they said. “He was ex-Treasury and knew about budgets and financial services and how Brussels works. They just lost that. You’ve ended up with yes men and they’re bloody useless to everybody.”
Sir Ivan’s isolation was possible because the pair ripped up the previous practice in Downing Street that senior civil servants could directly put submissions and papers into the prime minister’s nightly and weekend red boxes.
Under the new regime material seen by the prime minister had to be vetted first either by Mr Timothy or Ms Hill. That not only dismayed Whitehall but gummed up the process of decision-making by inserting a fresh layer of bureaucracy into the No 10 operation.
Sounds like Timothy was doing the right thing. He realised that May is convinced by the last argument that she sees and if civil servants could keep sending her papers she would never be able to make her mind up about anything. Which is exactly what happened after he left.
Lifelong cricket fan Theresa May has been elected a member of the Marylebone Cricket Club which owns Lord’s cricket ground, The Telegraph can disclose.
Normally members have to wait 26 years to join the most famous cricket club in the world. Mrs May had to wait only a few months after the club fast-tracked her application.

Even those half a dozen seats could be crucial to whether Corbyn becomes PM or not given how tight the polls are, not forgetting 20% of 2015 UKIP voters are now voting Labour too and were part of the reason Corbyn got Labour to 40%

I was in the audience for QT at university and asked a question, though Dimbleby quickly moved on, it is filmed about 7pm and goes out at 10 30pm on a Thursday so unless you are a diehard Emmerdale or C4 news or Newsnight fan you are not really missing much
