US-China trade war and Brexit report

What impact will Brexit have on UK jobs? The Migration Advisory Committee, which (as the name suggests) advises the government, releases its report later, looking at issues including unemployment and wages. This comes as the latest figures show net migration – the difference between people entering and leaving the country – from the EU is at its lowest level since 2012.

“Two-hundred damaged and dismembered bodies in one place leaves an image,” Dr Richard Shepherd says, explaining how his career as a forensic pathologist has had deep and traumatic effects on his mental health. “I am used to death, and have been used to it for 35 years – but there comes a moment when you can’t compartmentalise it.”

Dr Shepherd estimates he has conducted more than 23,000 post-mortems in his career, many from mass killings at some of the greatest tragedies of the past few decades. It has left him with post-traumatic stress disorder. “Maybe I should have gone to see a counsellor once a year,” he reflects.

The Financial Times reports that Chancellor Philip Hammond risks causing ructions in Downing Street with his warning that the UK faces “substantial” costs if no Brexit deal is reached. Meanwhile, the Guardian quotes EU diplomats as saying the UK government will have to experience its “darkest hour” and face the prospect of no deal before having to alter its stance. Elsewhere, the Times says pregnant women could be set target weights in an effort to counter obesity. And the Daily Telegraph says the broadcasting watchdog Ofcom will warn that 12 million people in the UK have been harmed by social media.
