BREXIT PROBLEMS FOR THE MOD

The slump in the value of the pound may help some exporters but for the MOD it has been and will continue to be a disaster.  We spend apparently £10Bn a year with US defence companies and the bill will rise by about £700m per year simply because of the pounds weakness (HERE).

UK MAY FACE EARLY EJECTION FROM EUROPOL

This would apparently mean we lose all access to a huge database of information on suspects, guns, cars and phone numbers linked to serious crime and terrorism and this might have an impact on our security.
