Cabinet Office = career death? Nonsense.

Depends what you're exporting - as the UK specialises in high value-added manufacturing and service exports, exports tend to be demand sensitive rather than price sensitive, so are less affected by a cheaper currency. Indeed, any benefits might be offset by Brexit uncertainty that is likely to hurt European demand. Many exporters are also reliant on parts and components from other countries, so may see import costs rise.

I think UA took the brief of a designing a kit for scruffy, middle-aged men with man-boobs a little too literally.

It's july Les and you still don't have a clue.

He doesn't exactly bomb on, though. Seldom beats a man and likes to check back to a supporting player.

Les, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt: you're a thick c**t with plenty of form. The New World Order is make-believe pal: it's no more real than the tooth fairy, Santa Claus or pineapples on the moon; yet it's the swivel-eyed idée fixe of antisemites the world over who see jews, as symbolised by the Rothschilds as controlling international finance, media and politics -under whom -in Saxon's unapologetic words - we're all 'slaves'. Rather than distancing yourself from this malevolent bunkum, you oddly appear to be defending it.

Brilliant pal, posting comments by antisemites now, are we?

I thought Koeman's hated by everyone at the club.

I didn't realise Wayne David was the leader of a political party or national figure with aspirations of being PM. I learn something everyday from you.

New kit or not, you'll always be a tit pal.

Pepe was excellent tonight.

As are shares in RBS - both of which are taxpayer-owned to varying degrees.

A few things to bear in mind, pal. 1. The FTSE 100 has been lifted by stimulus hopes - that the BoE will ease monetary policy because it expects the economy to deteriorate. 2. FTSE 100 companies do most of their business overseas and earn dollars that have been getting a massive bump when they are sent back to the UK thanks to the historic weakness in sterling. 3. The big winners on the FTSE have been miners linked to gold and other precious metals, safe haven assets, as they are a play on market uncertainty and fears of inflation. 4. The FTSE 250 -a better thermometer of Britain’s corporate health- is still down around 8% since Brexit. 5. This isn't a game warranting snap judgments, though the need for instant gratification among the leave crowd doesn't surprise me. Effects will be felt only slowly but that won't make them any less real or disruptive.

Bit of a looker Les, at your stately age?

Oh dear, déjà vu.

He also says there are 2.5m illegal immigrants in France #gospel #fountofknowledge

He's on the right and very connected to Boris and Gove - the only reason I cited him. The consensus on all sides of the political spectrum is that once Gove split ranks and other brexiters came out in support of him, Boris realised he would not command enough support from the party. Or as an aide of Team Boris is alleged to have put it more diplomatically "Gove is a c*** who set this up from the start". http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/30/the-stunning-ruthlessness-of-michael-gove-destroyed-david-camero/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3667482/Game-Michael-Gove-stand-Tory-leader-setting-stage-bitter-battle-Brexit-ally-Boris-Johnson-Theresa-May.html http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/26b55cfa-3eb5-11e6-8716-a4a71e8140b0.html#axzz4D4Uwbxid http://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-sensationally-rules-out-conservative-party-leadership-bid-a3284881.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36674729 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-30/boris-johnson-says-he-won-t-run-for-u-k-tory-leadership But hey Gove's actions were irrelevant because Boris never ever had any designs on the conservative leadership

Everyone knows he's Brett from Camden

And that might have well been the case until gove threw a complete curveball and decided to stand. The world's a bit more complicated than your little platitudes, isn't it pal. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/30/michael-gove-boris-johnson-tory-leadership-downing-street

A complete strawman - there isn't a single market in services but its far more integrated and liberalised than any other bilateral or multilateral trade agreement around the world. Chapel End Charlie's point stands: UK financial services thanks to passporting and other benefits would be much worse under the Canadian model than it would be as a member of the EU or EEA.

Puel's gone for the rat pack look. #silverlining

Not saying automation is unimportant but it has been vastly exaggerated, as it has always been (just read some of the dire warnings in the past that have never come to fruition). Indeed, an argument can be made that we have more to worry from slowing rather than accelerating technological progress which is what is happening across developed economies. A decent paper on automation: http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/social-issues-migration-health/the-risk-of-automation-for-jobs-in-oecd-countries_5jlz9h56dvq7-en

I am aware how it's spelt. No it means the ability to understand one's sources, recognise their limitations and think critically through their implications. In essence, the exact opposite to what you've done on this thread, pal.

I'd suggest you stick to what you know, pal. The Heritage has long ditched it's dispassionate, scholary, conservative leanings and become a political attack dog for the Tea Party and hard right. Quoting it uncritically just makes you look a bit silly. Which is a surprise no one.
