At least Branson employs 35,000? People. What does Blair do with his millions ?

GG re free movement of Labour I mean what we have at the moment as members of the EU. That's what I understand the EU say is required for access to the single market, and I believe Labour have said they will impose restrictions of some sort.
As to keynsian economics, I don't want to suggest that can't work. I'm sure tory economists would agree. It just seems to me that Labour's borrowing and spending plans go too far given all the debt we already have. No am I convinced just now that their spending plans are aimed at wealth creating investment. I will wait for manifestos but I really doubt I will see anything that convinces me.

You're right Petra, that's what I do every 2 years. Start negotiations a couple of months before the contract is due to end and research for price comparison before you call you provider, so that you have your stall set out ready.

daphnedill Sun 23-Apr-17 22:44:10

Wouldn't you?

rosesarered Sun 23-Apr-17 22:50:34

Errr......YES!

daphnedill Sun 23-Apr-17 22:52:38

Merkel got upset, because Tsipras wouldn't give her a kiss. No wonder she doesn't think much of May or Johnson. She probably won't meet Corbyn. She's probably relieved, because I don't think he's her type.

Jalima1108 Sun 23-Apr-17 22:55:53

They all seem quite happy to be greeted by Trudeau!
