Yesterday MPs debated whether to rejoin the EU following success of a public petition that gained 134,000 signatures

Don’t hold your breath. The govt replied by quoting its not-until-hell-freezes-over manifesto pledge even with losses at 5% of GDP. A vast sum: 1% of Britain’s GDP is worth £25.6bn!
