Colm Burke: The UK has left the European Union and Mr. Tumbleton mentioned that people in the UK call themselves "foot care practitioners".

There is no point in announcing the roll-out of...

Colm Burke: I am concerned about this. It reminds me of the 1980s when there was a long, drawn-out process for getting loans. We are back to square one. We are in a world where the market is moving very fast and we must respond accordingly.
