Britain has always had control of it's laws. The ECJ ruled on European laws, not British laws.

In practice, all they do is answer questions put to them by UK courts on European laws. These laws are in place for the interpretation of individual states courts; the ECJ has never over-ruled any British courts.

Brexit is being shaped by big business and banks while the interests of ordinary people are being drowned out, a damning new report has concluded.
The analysis of lobbyist activity exposes how big corporations and the finance sector are dominating back-room discussions with negotiators in both London and Brussels.
At the same time small business, labour groups and NGOs are being marginalised, leading campaigners to warn Brexit will be dictated according to a “corporate bias.”

Interesting, Mr Uphimself.

So, the numbers leaving top business schools in Europe coming to work here have dropped in the past year (though remaining as yet top of the list)and the most noteworthy point in the story relegated by the journo to the final para: top four business schools in Europe are all French and our top one (Warwick) comes in only at number 9,a testimony to our ongoing slide in the field.

Thank you Rumpole. That was the answer I was expecting.

EU ban on vacuum cleaners that actually do the job come into force today. The experts at telling you how to run you life say you can't have a 'powerful' cleaner, or one that makes a bit of noise. I expect they have set up some sort of vacuum police who will come round to see if your carpets are clean, and if so, produce a search warrant to find your cleaner of mass destruction. IF found you will be subject to some dreadful punishment - a weekend in Brussels perhaps.
