It has been a week since the last post, mainly because the news has been focusing on COVID-19 rather than Brexit, but here we are again.
The news of forecast queues of 7,000 lorries is doing the rounds again today, just as it did on the 16th, and as it did two weeks before that. The haulage industry is also hitting back at the government. Along with this, the news about lorries requiring a permit to even enter Kent has also picked up traction again.
JPMorgan is moving $23obn of assets from the U.K. to Germany in preparation for Brexit.
Meanwhile, an LSE report from The UK in a Changing Europe calculates that the long-term cost of a Brexit without a trade deal to the economy is going to be twice that of COVID.
Then there is the Galileo (Non-GPS global positioning system) saga (in, out, in, out, shake it all about), and I see from this report on RTE, that there is a procurement underway for where in the EU the 250 jobs in Reading for the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting will move to.
