No Mandate 4 No Deal (12/08/19)
Boris Johnson is talking up the prospects of a 'No Deal' Brexit, but his government has no mandate for crashing out of the European Union in such a reckless fashion - not least because of the huge damage this would do to the UK economy.
Bollocks to Brexit! (09/08/19)
The BBC reports that the mad march towards Brexit continues to damage the UK's economy - apparently these are the worst performance figures since 2012.

UK economy shrinks in second quarter
The UK economy contracted 0.2% between April and June, its worst performance since 2012, the Office for National Statistics said.
The surprise contraction came after a boost to economic growth in the first three months of the year because of Brexit stockpiling.
Rob Kent-Smith, head of GDP at the ONS, said manufacturing output fell and the construction sector weakened.
The pound slipped after the data was released, raising fears of a recession.
Mr Kent-Smith added that "the often-dominant service sector delivered virtually no growth at all".
