We'll most likely get what we bargain for at the end of the day but I'm reassured by the fact that no money will be given till and when a final deal that is deemed acceptable is agreed.

EU leaders have agreed to move Brexit talks on to second phase, says European Council president Donald Tusk.

This mean talks can move on to the long-term relationship between the UK and EU, including trade and security.

The first issue to be discussed, as early as next week, will be the terms of a transition period after the UK leaves in March 2019.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has warned this process would be "significantly harder".

Every worker aged 18 or over will begin saving into a workplace pension unless they opt out, under government plans to extend its automatic enrolment scheme.

At present, the scheme means employers must enrol staff aged 22 and over and earning above £10,000 into a pension.

Ministers hope to reduce the minimum age to 18 in the mid 2020s, and say it will affect about 900,000 young people.

I'm all for this and both my kids (24 and 28) have already committed.

I am against it if they can not opt out. I fall outside the TAX/NI and can not afford to opt in on my works pension scheme. I like my job and I rather be poor than miserable dreading going into work even if it pays more.

I thought a pension was already compulsory , unless you opt out?

Edit:Why didn't they make it for everyone over 18 working full-time anyway, not just 21

Strange how the media only reports them in a light way. Clearly they want to move the Labour party further left than it is now and will stop at nothing to achieve this goal.
