A previous requirement for piles of old EDF bills or similar to prove continuous residency in France would not apply to Britons applying for non-EU citizen residency cards after a no-deal. Further analysis of the new decree published yesterday has clarified that the usual requirement for residency cards of showing proof – usually a utilities bill – for every six months you have lived in France does not appear in the lists of documents required.Some Britons applying for residency cards as EU citizens have struggled with this requirement which, even where people have access to them, requires plenty of photocopying of their archive documents.Instead the new decree simply says that those who ‘have never had a residency card’ in France will have to provide ‘a document establishing the date of moving to France’.British Community Committee of France vice-chairman Christopher Chantrey said this suggests that all that would be needed is either … [Read more...] about France lightens paperwork for no-deal cards

Nisa deal sends Co-op food sales soaring
The boss of the Co-op hailed a deal to supply the Nisa convenience store chain last year after it delivered a dramatic boost to its food business. Co-op bought Nisa's wholesale business last April for £143m to supply some 4,000 stores across the UK with products including its own branded lines. Steve Murrells, chief executive, said the Nisa wholesale business had been a "game-changer in expanding our food footprint". Co-op said revenue rose 14pc to £10.2bn, while pre-tax profits “exceeded expectations”, soaring 27pc to £93m. Like-for-like food sales rose 4.4pc in the year to January, giving the company five years of continuous like-for-like growth. Mr Murrell told the BBC: “Food has been...

Brexit: Kirk says leaving under no-deal would be ‘reckless’
0 Have your say The Church of Scotland has issued a warning about the potential impact of a no deal Brexit, echoing concerns of charities that the most vulnerable are at risk from leaving the EU without a deal. A no-deal Brexit on April 12 is still being touted as a possibility, even though MPs voted again to reject that default position in a tight House of Commons vote this week. Theresa May has written to the EU Commission this morning in a bid to extend the Article 50 process, which legally mandated the UK’s departure date as March 29, until the end of June.

Ander Herrera’s wage demands as Man Utd star closes in on whopping PSG deal
Ander Herrera is reportedly set to pocket a whopping £52million if he quits Manchester United for Paris Saint-Germain. The Red Devils midfielder is out of contract at Old Trafford in the summer and is yet to put pen to paper on fresh terms. He has been strongly linked with a move to the Parc des Princes as the French champions look to bolster their ranks in the engine room. And, according to The Sun, he would earn £200,000-a-week on a five-year contract in France after United baulked at his £160,000-a-week demands. The contract would make Herrera one of the richest players in world football. Spaniard Herrera looks likely to reluctantly leave United five years after joining in 2014 from Athletic Bilbao. The 29-year-old is understood to be one of a number of players seeking more money after Alexis Sanchez signed on a bumper £500,000-a-week deal. Herrera will be one of a number of outgoings if he does head for the exit, with Antonio Valencia, Matteo Darmian and … [Read more...] about Ander Herrera’s wage demands as Man Utd star closes in on whopping PSG deal
