Brexit. Why do Brits want Out of the EU?

Given that the public's confidence in Brexit negotiations is at an all-time low, it would seem that the macro-political situation in the UK is not a major influence on people's personal happiness.

"Despite these improvements, real household disposable income per head fell for the fourth quarter in a row and, for the first time in two years, consumers reported a worsening perception of their own financial situation in April to June 2017."

The statement confirmed the story broken by news site Politico early Thursday morning. The portal had gained access to a letter from Martine Reicherts, the director-general of the Commission's department for culture, which had been sent to the UK's own culture department in London the day before.

While certain non-EU nations are eligible to host the year-long series of cultural events, the letter pointed out that, "this Action is not open to third countries, except for candidate countries and EFTA/EEA countries under strict conditions," using the abbreviations for the European Free Trade Association and the European Economic Area respectively.
Great Britain has said it will not remain a member of the European common market after it leaves the EU bloc.

Cities in Turkey and Serbia have been Capitals of Culture because they have begun the accession process, while Norway is part of the EEA.

British media had reported that six cities had put themselves into the national running to be selected as the UK's choice for 2023: Dundee, Nottingham, Leeds, Milton Keynes and Belfast and Derry. Some cities had already started promotional campaignssupporting their run to be put forth by the UK as the 2023 city.

UK government ministers do not understand the consequences of Brexit, a British judge on the European Court of Justice has warned, according to a leaked report that reveals EU fears about the impact of “chaos in the Conservative government”.

Ian Forrester, who has been the UK’s representative at the court since 2015, reportedly told Irish diplomats that British ministers do not “grasp” the complexities of leaving the EU and claimed there were “issues around the quality of politicians in Westminster at present”.

The comments were recorded in a confidential Irish government report leaked to RTE.

DUP leader Arlene Foster has written to the leaders of all 27 EU countries, telling them that Northern Ireland will not tolerate any difference in status between itself and the rest of the United Kingdom, after the UK leaves the EU.

Earlier this week, it had been suggested that Northern Ireland might remain in the customs union after Brexit, to prevent a hard border between itself and the Irish Republic. But, speaking to the DUP annual conference in Belfast, Ms Foster made clear that Northern Ireland would leave the customs union.

That's nice. Too bad Arlene Foster isn't the head of the Northern Ireland governent, and therefore that letter is nothing but the opinion of a single Northern Irish parliament member.

I do think that the Conservative–DUP agreement has a lot of influence and is more than just "the opinion of a single Northern Irish parliament member".

She was the head of government.
