Are today's announcements of trade talk deadlocks indicative of an upcoming no-deal #Brexit?
Professor @AlexRuyter from the @BCU_Brexit thinks that today has just highlighted what has been the government's plan all along.
Professor @AlexRuyter:
“COVID-19 has sapped the ability of Government to devote time and resources to [the Brexit talks]. The prospect of a No Deal coming on top of the coronavirus disruption could tip many businesses over the edge and would devastate our manufacturing sector."

Innovation will be vital to Britain’s economic recovery. But unless we change the way innovation is funded and supported, recovery will leave too many people and places behind. nesta.org.uk/blog/the-role-o… via @nesta_uk

This is terribly sad news. He was a wonderful comedian and a really lovely man and I feel honoured to have known and worked with him. The world has been robbed - he had years more joy to give. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52262490

I may not be a fan of the #PrimeMinister's #politics, I do however wish Mr. Johnson well at this most serious time in his life – at Greenock, Scotland
Apologies for the typo but more like twenty months rather than two months. Just reiterates the magnitude of the problem

My wife just went to the supermarket. They were letting ten in, ten out. Everybody queued politely and 2 metres apart. When she got in, the shelves were full. Everyone was polite. We can do this.

Six of our ambulances were deliberately damaged overnight in Kent. Beyond disappointed that anyone would do this ever, let alone now when our staff are under so much pressure. Well done to Fleet & Make Ready teams for getting these back on the road asap 1/2
