Looking back with a single squinty eye, I see that GB and the EU have agreed to a further extension of Brexit until October 31, 2019.

Countless things could happen in this interim, too many to list and too frustrating to consider with a logical mind considering the previous circus we’ve observed.

As such, it doesn't help me in my efforts to get a work visa in Europe this year, so I'm looking away. But I will be very interested to see Halloween costume trends for the death rattle of an empire.

I've discovered this article on the website of an Italian international law firm. While GB-centric in its presentation of the looming "skills gap", the same can be said of a skills gap which will come to the EU. "The end of free movement will bring a raft of challenges which many businesses will have to face, not least will be additional costs." This means Visas will be required in the EU for native-English speaking workers.
