EU proposes to cut import steel quotas in half and double tariffs to 50 percent. We are trying to save the European industry, Commissioner Sejourne said.
It will be tough for UK industry which exports 80 percent of its steel to the European Union. #brexit #steel #tariffs #wto

Genuinely gutted about the whole Angela Rayner fiasco
She's one of the good ones
Possibly the best, which is exactly why she's stepped down
But I'm not saying let her off the hook
No
I'm saying hold every single other MP FULLY accountable for infringements
All of them

Daily Telegraph today refers to A Rayner’s property “empire”. Whatever you think of her housing arrangements, I don’t think constituency house (bought for 375k in 2016), house in Hove, plus use of ministerial flat in London is an “empire”. Duke of Westminster wont fear a rival!
