I know threads go where they will, but all this is a long way from Post Brexit life in the UK. Talking about the past is easier, even if opinions differ, but it can be a way of avoiding talking about the future, which is after the point of this thread. So let's some comments about the future: who will be the Conservative leader in six months time? How will that affect Post Brexit life, if at all? Is the US position on the aeroplanes and agribusiness a one off or will they take advantage of the UK? Let's have some solid predictions that we can look at a year after separation where we can say whether they were right or wrong. The vaguaries of Nostrodamus are unsuitable.
