BBC News: In remarks published this weekend, the chancellor told the world's leading finance ministers and central bankers: "The UK's productivity challenge has been compounded by the way in which the UK left the European Union."
The government can't really blame 'the way in which the UK left the EU' when its red lines rule out a less-damaging alternative. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Community Projects team had a great tidy up event around the centre of Highgate this weekend. Quite a lot of low level rubbish such as these cigarette ends. These and other debris like plastics can be washed through the drainage system and eventually out to sea.
