May could walk out of Brexit talks over exit bill - Telegraph

British business leaders have been told to brace for the possibility that Prime Minister Theresa May's government may walk out of Brexit talks this year, according to the Sunday Telegraph.

The move would be designed for "domestic consumption" to show the government is negotiating hard with the European Union, the newspaper reported. The newspaper did not reveal how it obtained the information.

That much information and disinformation being circulated currently by the press it would make just as much sense to spin a coin at this, the earliest of stages.

Oh, I quite agree with you there. Perhaps what it shows is that there's a difference between the two sets of politicians at Westminster and Holyrood. At least at the latter the Jolly Hockeysticks brigade doesn't really have much of a presence.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has launched a bitter attack on members of the European Parliament for failing to show up.

Standing up in almost empty chamber in Strasbourg, he denounced the body as "ridiculous, totally ridiculous".

"She was crying and wants to get back to Britain but ISIS is preventing her because she is now a military wife. She told me she wish to go to her country," Aisha said.

This, of course, is a ludicrous claim - unless Jones has given up on her jihadi campaign and is now prepared to swap martyrdom for a lifetime in prison.

It's often termed as 'being caught between a rock and a hard place'

Hammond says UK must 'hold nerve' over public pay.

Philip Hammond has insisted pay policy has not changed and the "right balance" must continue to be struck in terms of what is fair for workers and taxpayers.
The chancellor, who is under pressure from colleagues to lift the 1% public pay cap, said he understood people were "weary" after seven years of austerity.
But speaking in London, he rejected calls to "take the foot off the pedal".
Government must "hold its nerve" in the face of calls for a "different path" of higher taxes and borrowing, he said.
Mr Hammond is facing a growing chorus from within his own party for him to reconsider the 1% limit on increases in public sector salaries, which has been in place since 2012.
