A man has been shot dead by police, after he attacked people shopping on a Sunday afternoon in South London. He had been released from prison a mere 9 days prior, after serving half his given sentence for terror offences. The Conservatives had promised to eradicate early release for those convicted of terror offences, a promise served after the tragic events on London Bridge last year. Where do we go from here?

At 11PM tonight, we leave the European Union. Special Advisors, Civil Servants and Politicians alike have been scrambling for the past fortnight to ensure Big Ben's bell will bong for the occasion.

Will Brexit be as budget as this announcement? Discuss.
