Singapore may renegotiate EU trade deal

    Singapore has raised the prospect of renegotiating terms on a long-awaited free trade deal with the European Union (EU) due to the impact of Brexit, a Square Mile official has revealed. Sherry Madera, the City of London Corporation's special adviser for Asia, told the Press Association questions have been asked at meetings in Singapore about the nation's right to a "remedy" if access to UK financial markets no longer form part of the deal.

Big Ben bells ringing for the last time on Monday noon: The reform work will open four years later

    Big Ben should be allowed to bong once a week for tourists, a minister has said ahead of the bell falling silent for the next four years later today. Later today renovation work begins on the bell, amid a backlash from Theresa May and MPs after it was announced it would have to fall silent for four years for health and safety reasons. At noon today, Big Ben will sound its final bong for four years. The bongs are being stopped to avoid the risk of workers' hearing being damaged by the loud noise. MPs are expected to gather outside the Palace of Westminster to witness the event. John Glen, a minister at the Department for Culture, told the Telegraph: It's a shame for visitors. We need a practical solution. I would hope we could find a way of ringing the bells at least once a...
