Can't see JC being in power. In Office maybe but he won't have any power - that will be in the hands of others

Can we out Independence Day the Yanks? I voted remain, but any reason to one up them is always a yes in my books.

We use 4th of July as a smokescreen to shoot each other, because gun shots are mistaken for fireworks. So, you can try, but I wouldn't.

All you had to do was not piss off a bunch of drunk, unemployed Bostonians, and we'd have nothing to celebrate anyway.

Sounds like a day of mourning to me.

Saying that, it'd be a good excuse to get out on the golf course.

It will certainly be a day to take a foreign city break. Can you just imagine what sort of people will celebrate this.

Britain's aerospace sector could be priced out after Brexit

For companies such as Airbus, which manufactures its aircraft and parts across Europe, dealing with a country outside the EU could prove simply too expensive

Airbus’s factory in Broughton, Flintshire, is where the pan-European aerospace and defence group manufactures all the wings for its commercial aircraft. The well-paid jobs, cutting-edge technology and headline-grabbing products are highly prized – by Britain, and by other Airbus factories around Europe.

Airbus has long fought off green-eyed advances from its plants in Toulouse, Hamburg and elsewhere, which are keen to wrest wing production from Britain’s clutches. But there are concerns that the vote to leave the European Union has weakened Britain’s grip on this precious gem.

That may be true for independent businesses but less so for foreign-owned companies that are part of supply chains across the EU, from the car industry to pharmaceuticals, plastics and, crucially, aerospace where politics plays such an important role.

Britain has maintained its slice of the Airbus pie as long as it has been a large net contributor to the EU budget. Without that leverage, there must be a question mark over future investment.

Paul Everitt, the chief executive of ADS, the trade body for the aerospace, defence, security and space sectors, said: “We are concerned that there could be a long-term erosion of Britain’s competitiveness and that big projects will not be allocated to the UK. We are currently a big player in the aerospace industry.”

Everitt is not alone. Senior Airbus executives have warned that erecting barriers to the free movement of parts and people across its European sites may cause lasting damage to Britain’s aerospace industry.
