(Question: What did you make of today's Supreme Court ruling?)

"Expected.The establishment stick with each other, so Parliament will have a say. But it's funny, isn't it? Because it's one of those rare times when Parliament said to us, the people, 'you decide', and the government made it perfectly clear they would accept the result, trigger Article 50, and get on with it. But here we have a judgement saying that it goes back to Parliament."

3. Farage during interview

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: What do you make of those that brought this case and ultimately won it?)

"Well, I think every attempt is being made by the establishment to delay and dilute Brexit. So this will come to the House of Commons fairly quickly, there'll be amendments to try and give us a second referendum, there'll be amendments to try and keep us in the single market. I don't know whether any of them are actually going to succeed, but I do think this: I do think that a fair-minded British public say 'look, we had a referendum, we had a result, what is it with so many of our MPs that they can't accept democracy?"

5. Farage during interview

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: The court case wasn't really about accepting democracy though, was it? It was about the letter of the law and it being Parliament's job to trigger this process rather than the Prime Minister, wasn't it?)

"Well, I have to say that it seems to me that we have a House of Commons that represents the common people, but in this case the House of Commons said 'You the common people make this decision'. There's no point arguing after a legal case. It's done. It's done. But it's just the response to it that we've heard from Liberal Democrats, from SNP (Scottish National Party), and indeed from some sections of the Labour Party, saying they will use this vote and debate in Parliament as an attempt to try and delay and dilute Brexit."

7. Farage during interview

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: What is your biggest fear following this ruling?)

"My biggest fear is that the whole Brexit process is taking much longer than we were promised. David Cameron (former UK Prime Minister) made it clear: 'You're having a referendum, if you vote to leave, we will trigger Article 50 and you will leave'."

++BLACK FRAMES++

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: Are you pleased that devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland won't get a say?)

"Had devolved administrations been given a say over this we would no longer be a United Kingdom, we'd be a federal state. So that was an expected judgement. Anything else would've been outrageous."

++BLACK FRAMES++

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: Who do you blame for these legal wranglings?)

"Oh, I blame big money and the establishment. I mean, look. We all know that the European Union has been good for some people. It's been good for the wealthy, it's been good for big business, it's actually been quite good for many people in career politics. They're trying their very best to frustrate the will of the people."

++BLACK FRAMES++

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: Isn't it only fair to follow the proper process though?)

"What is the proper process? If Article 50 had been triggered immediately after the referendum, we wouldn't have had any of this mess. So the lesson, the moral of the story, to the government is 'get on with it'."

++BLACK FRAMES++

++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++

STORYLINE:

Former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage said he "expected" the Supreme Court ruling that Parliament must vote on triggering the UK's departure from the European Union.

Speaking on Tuesday outside the Houses of Parliament, Farage said he thought "every attempt is being made by the establishment to delay and dilute Brexit."

He said opposition parties may try to use the parliamentary vote to add amendments calling for a second referendum or to ensure Britain retains its status in the European single market.

Author Thomas Harding is in the process of doing what the descendants of many Holocaust victims would find unimaginable: applying for a German passport.

When Britain voted to leave the European Union in June, the 48-year-old had to make a decision that was never necessary before the referendum - should he request the restoration of German citizenship stripped from his family by the Third Reich? He needed only a few hours to make up his mind.

“This is more than the practical, this is also about something for us, or for me, it's about something spiritual, it's about reconciliation,’’ he said. “It's about acknowledging the truth of the horrors of the past but also about trying to build a better future together, and as a European, that's what I hope to do."

It is one of the complicated realities of the UK’s pending divorce from the EU that many Britons whose ancestors came from other parts of Europe are claiming citizenship in other member states so they can retain ties to the Continent. Inquiries about passports are up at the German, Austrian, French and Polish embassies.

Some want to retain the ability to travel easily from country to country or maintain business ties. Others just want to be part of the European Union.

But for Jews whose families fled Germany to escape Adolf Hitler, the decision means re-examining long-held beliefs about history and the country that once persecuted them.

The children and grandchildren of Jewish refugees are taking advantage of a law that allows the descendants of people persecuted by the Nazis to regain the citizenship that was stripped from them in the 1930s and 1940s. More than 400 Britons have sought information about the law since the June 23 referendum, and German authorities have received at least 100 formal applications, compared with about 20 annually in recent years.

Michael Newman, chief executive of the Association of Jewish Refugees, said Brexit has fuelled interest in German citizenship, but it’s hard to know how many people will actually apply. Jews are now able to consider such a step because Germany has made huge strides in addressing the past, creating a culture of remembrance, he said.

“No amount of blood money or memorials will satisfy or suffice for some people but in terms of addressing its past and owning up to it and looking into things, it's done much that many other countries haven't,’’ said Newman.

Many of those seeking restoration of their citizenship don’t intend to live in Germany, but want the freedom to travel and work in EU nations.

Ben Lewis, a 49-year-old documentary filmmaker, is among those who would like to regain German citizenship.

Lewis, whose film and production company has worked for years on the continent, sees the potential of Brexit as an abomination, particularly the anti-immigrant sentiment that influenced many people to vote to leave.

“I just want to take a firm stance, a documented stance etched in acid on stone, that I object to Brexit," he said.

The decision for many might have been prompted by Brexit, but had been years in the making for some. Harding, for one, has long been coming to terms with his German past, a journey documented in part in his book, “The House by the Lake.’’

The way Harding sees it, Germany is now showing leadership by taking in over a million refugees.

As the result of the EU referendum became clear on the morning of June 24, Harding was on the phone to the German embassy to inquire about citizenship.

It’s logical, he says, for Jews to cling to the EU, which was created to build international links that would make another European war impossible.

“It was much less about saying goodbye to Britain than saying hello to Europe," he said.

"I think what has happened to me is I have become much more open towards Germany and at the same time following Brexit, I realised that there was going to be a very real loss. It was likely that me and my family would be unable to live and work in 27 countries in Europe and given the fact that I didn't have to give up my British passport, I didn't have to live in Germany by necessity or learn German, show I could speak German, it didn't seem like there was anything to lose and so for me, it was much less about saying goodbye to Britain than saying hello to Europe."

"Well, it was immediately after Brexit I thought the restoration of German citizenship was something that I wanted, because before Brexit I was part of the EU anyway. I was a European, I was deeply engaged in German culture from the age of 14 when I first started learning German, and in a way my whole life was orientated around creating links around rebuilding, if you like, as a Jew, links between myself, in Britain and German culture."

"I have many motivations for wanting to get German citizenship. I am thinking a lot about my child, I want him to have the same advantages in life that I had, you know, to be able to play on a European field. I've worked all over Europe in my life. I love Berlin - I could imagine living there. Perhaps that would happen in the future. And I just want to take a firm stance, a documented stance, something etched in acid on stone, that I object to Brexit."

"Well I think this is uppermost in the minds of the government that they are not going to walk away from any post Holocaust responsibilities and I think most people would look at what Germany has done since the Second World War in terms of addressing its past, the culture of remembrance, the educational resources, it's committed to teaching about the holocaust and see that what it has done has been leading the way and if you look at issues like restitution, archive, opening archives, documentation centres, even opening and creating museums, they are, they're leading the way in many respects in dealing with their history. It remains of course very subjective because no amount of blood, money or memorials will satisfy or suffice for some people but in terms of addressing its past and owning up to it and looking into things, it's done much that many other countries haven't."

The UK jewellery market has not lost its sparkle despite the Brexit vote, according to experts at the International Jewellery London show.

A weak pound, innovative design and a diverse marketplace for suppliers are just some of the reasons the UK jewellery market is thriving.

STORY-LINE:

Sparkle and shine at the International Jewellery London show.

Precious gemstones drip from the stands at this important jewellery trade event.

The diamonds and gold on show haven't lost any of their shine or lustre, but what about the jewellery market in post Brexit Britain?

Despite the vote to leave the European Union earlier this year, the industry reports it has not felt any repercussions.

Michael Rawlinson is chief executive of The National Association of Jewellers, the main industry body in the UK.

He says: "The British market actually has responded quite well post Brexit at the moment, people have some level of certainty, even if it is leaving the European Union, so we've seen a strengthening of trade in the last couple of months."

With innovative designers continuing to emerge from the UK's most important jewellery schools in London and Birmingham, he believes 'brand Britain' is as strong as ever.

"The challenge for the UK jewellery market post-Brexit is to actually promote made in Britain, we have a tremendous heritage here of craftsmanship and quality and we need to make sure that the product we make is identifiable around the world very clearly, that it's originated from and has been made in Britain," he says.

A good example of this innovation is London-based designer Joanna Boyen of Biiju.

She is proudly showing off her new explosion ring, which she claims is her own unique design and seen nowhere else.

"So they're called explosion rings and what's special about them is that there are 21 individual briolettes, that's cut with multiple facets all over them, and we thread each one on individually so that they move, they shimmer when you move and catch the light," says Boyen.

And the future of jewellery design talent in the UK looks to be in safe hands.

The show is promoting the stars of tomorrow in its section Bright Young Gems.

Katy Tromans just graduated from Birmingham City University with first class honours. She is now showcasing her latest collection of fairytale inspired silver rings.

This silver ring is hidden inside a model of Rapunzel's tower, which doubles-up as an ornament.

"So the main idea is that it's a silver ring and you have somewhere to keep it when you're not wearing it so it becomes part of a sculpture. So they all just come apart, so it comes off, then you can take the ring out and you can wear it, then you can put it back together and keep it on your side as an ornament, so it's that kind of thing," says Tromans.

She also has Alice in Wonderland and Moby Dick inspired creations.

But are the international jewellery makers and suppliers buying the brand Britain message?

High-end jeweller Sokolov from Russia is attending the show to launch its new Kaleidoscope range.

Global sales director Andrew German says Brexit has not had a negative impact on Sokolov's approach to the British market.

"Despite Brexit, the British market - in the global sense of this word - is still a part of the larger European market. The wealth of British people is still increasing and it allows demand for jewellery to rise as well. And British people want to try new things, new brands, some novelties and innovation in this industry. This is why we believe for the international players it's a good chance to get into the (British) market," he says.

Business activity in Britain rebounded in August, injecting some optimism into the debate on how Britain is faring after the vote to leave the European Union.

The purchasing managers' index jumped to 53.2 points, reversing a record fall to 47.4 in July experienced after the June 23 referendum.

But the index showed the Eurozone lost some economic momentum in August, largely because of a slowdown in Germany - an unexpected fall.

According to the show's organisers, the Brexit vote has done little to dissuade international exhibitors from attending International Jewellery London.

Event director Sam Willoughby says the show features exhibitors from Brazil, Denmark, Russia, Germany, Portugal, Australia, Spain, Sweden, Italy and the Netherlands.

"So this is the first show since Brexit and whilst we've always got concern about what is going to happen in the future, and we can't predict that, we've seen just as many international exhibitors and visitors than we've ever had before. In fact, internationally we've had people representing France, like Galeries Lafayette and Printemps, people as far away as Russia and Middle East, all wanting to attend a show like this," she says.

"The reason being, for a supplier coming into an event like this, being able to enter into Europe through UK is actually quite an easy process to do because you've got so many channels to actually be able to go and sell, whether it's an independent boutique, multiple retailer, department store, gallery, it's quite endless and that gives them a good route into the market and into the rest of Europe, whether we are part of the EU or not."

Of course, a weak pound is also likely to be influencing those who are ready to spend thousands of pounds on high-end jewels.

But to prove it's not all about the bling at International Jewellery London, British designer Joanna Bury is polishing her perspex - that's right, plastic.

Bury used to design lingerie but recently switched to jewellery. The lacy, filigree designs are laser cut into perspex and have echoes of the fabrics she used to work with.

In the future, Bury hopes to start using more 3D printing technology to make it easier for her to produce her designs and sell them around the globe.

International Jewellery London runs from 4 to 6 September 2016.

UK wine industry experts are eyeing the upcoming vote on whether to leave the European Union with mixed feelings.

With producers and suppliers heavily reliant on pan-European trade, many remain unsure how Brexit will impact upon business.

STORY-LINE:

Sparkling wine on a summer's day in the English capital.

Glistening flutes and bottles in abundance, and a crowd of happy lunchtime drinkers add to the atmosphere of excitement and discovery, along with an impromptu game of ping pong.

It must be London Wine Week.

This is the third year of the festival, and this year is the most popular to date.

Festival director Emma Murphy says "It's the largest self-guided wine tasting that there is across London. It's kind of the only event of its kind that we have over here. So we work with 125 bars, restaurants, independent merchants who all get involved" .

But although these flutes of fizz are English sparkling wine, much of the wine the festival goers here are tasting is from EU member states such as France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Germany.

The June 23 referendum on whether to quit the European Union is fast approaching. So is this something the industry should fear?

"I wouldn't have said so," says Murphy.

"Wine trade has been going for long enough, even long before the euro, so I wouldn't have thought that would make much difference to be honest with you. Hopefully not anyway."

At the festival hub on London's Devonshire Square, there are pop-up bars featuring wines from across Europe.

These two young graduate trainees are enjoying wines from Portugal, and with their festival wristband, it costs them just five British Pounds for a flight of three.

Oscar Stenbom and Anna Rogers both agree that things may well be different if Britain leaves the union.

"If it's more expensive for them to send the wine here, if there's more tariffs, then yeah I guess it would be," says Anna, while Oscar is concerned about regulation and labelling:

"It would also be more difficult to know what you are drinking because there won't be as many restrictions on labelling the wine based on where it's actually from and the grape it's actually come from."

The New Street wine shop has been taken over by the wine festival. They sell wines from all over the world but today they are holding a tasting featuring wines from Ribera del Duero in northern Spain.

Most wine drinkers know about the region of Rioja, but Bettina Lemm is informing these festival goers about the region she represents.

"I think they (wines of Ribera del Duero) are still an emerging market, especially in the UK. The UK is an important market for Ribera del Duero, it's the seventh-largest export market for Ribera del Duero but I think that we're still establishing ourselves."

But if the UK is an important export market, is Brexit going to throw the proverbial spanner into the works? Lemm doesn't seem too worried "I think at the moment we're pretty confident as we've seen year to year that exports have grown. I think that's going to continue and I don't think it's a worry that we have at the moment," she says.

Wine used to have a rather old fashioned reputation and a comparatively elderly demographic, but this has changed enormously in recent years.

The prevalence of wine clubs popping up in the UK is an indicator of wine's increasing popularity.

Tom Harrow of Honest Grapes explains why this is "I think this is because people want to engage more with what's in the bottle. It's not just liquid, they want to know the stories behind it, they want to meet the people involved. And there's the sociable aspect, you know wine is fundamentally something which we do with other people," he says.

With 125 venues across the metropolis taking part in this festival, there's plenty of opportunity to enjoy it with friends.

But with such enthusiasm for wine spreading across the country, June 23 could bring disruption, according to Harrow "It's fair to say that we're a bit concerned about the possibilities of Brexit, I think the rising price of the euro against the pound will have a serious effect on quality wine. At the moment more than 60 percent of wine that comes into the UK is shipped in massive great tankers and bottled over here and that's not something we get involved with. But that becomes the only affordable way if the pound plummets against the euro. So I think that it won't be a good thing initially for the wine consumer because the prices of these small artisan wines will go up" .

However, the future might be bright in other, unexpected ways.

"All the English wine makers that I speak to say we are half a degree away from being a perfect climate for sparkling wines at least," says Harrow, and with apologies to climate change icon Al Gore, he adds that "global warming is a good thing for the UK sparkling wine trade."

Reports by the WSTA (Wine and Spirit Trade Association) suggest there is still some way to go as the UK comes in at number six on the list of sales of sparkling wine by origin - but it's rising year on year.

600 million bottles of wine are bottled in the UK.

This makes the UK wine market the sixth largest in the world, generating 173 billion British pounds of economic activity, according to the WSTA. 10 billion British pounds are made through sales.

Also being showcased here is one of the new kids on the alcohol block, Regal Rogue Vermouth.

According to brand founder Mark Ward, vermouth, by definition, is 75 percent wine. It must have wormwood and it must have an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 15 to 24 percent. These three things have to be in place for a producer to put vermouth on the bottle or it flouts recent EU regulations.

Ward, who was brought up in hospitality, began the project in Australia where he worked closely with top Australian chefs who introduced him to indigenous herbs and spices.

"It seemed like a really obvious thing to do, marrying the herbs and spices with this abundance of Australian wine to create a New World style of vermouth. And you know the tradition of vermouth is really led by the European markets. You know, Italian, French, now Spanish - but now there are vermouths coming out of America, the UK, Germany and obviously Australia. So pretty much anywhere where you find wine now, you will find a vermouth of some sort." he says.

Ward is attempting to educate the wine drinking market which, he believes, is mostly unaware of the fact that vermouth is fundamentally a wine.

This can only be helped by a new pop up for 2016, the Vermouth Bar.

The parent company of London Wine Week is the aptly named "Drink Up London", and they're already preparing for the 2017 event - Brexit or no Brexit.

"There's been a real rise in wine clubs in London and the UK generally of late, and I think this is because people want to engage more with what's in the bottle. It's not just liquid, they want to know the stories behind it, they want to meet the people involved. And there's the sociable aspect, you know wine is fundamentally something which we do with other people."

29. SOUNDBITE (English) Tom Harrow, wine director of Honest Grapes:

"It's fair to say that we're a bit concerned about the possibilities of Brexit, I think the rising price of the euro against the pound will have a serious effect on quality wine. At the moment more than 60 percent of wine that comes into the UK is shipped in massive great tankers and then bottled over here and that's not something we get involved with. But that becomes the only affordable way if the pound plummets against the euro. So I think that it won't be a good thing initially for the wine consumer because the prices of these small artisan wines will go up."

And you know the tradition of vermouth is really led by the European markets. You know, Italian, French, now Spanish - but now there are vermouths coming out of America, the UK, Germany and obviously Australia. So pretty much anywhere where you find wine now, you will find a vermouth of some sort."

LEADIN:

Britons hoping to holiday in Europe this summer are being warned that if the UK crashes out of the EU without a deal, they may need up to 15 months left on their passport before it expires to enable them to travel.

The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) also says pet owners would find it much harder to obtain a pet passport.  

STORYLINE:

As the winter months drag on, many in the UK are dreaming of - and booking up - their next holiday getaway.

Here at London's Olympia, thousands have gathered for some travel inspiration at Destinations: The Holiday & Travel Show. It's the UK's largest and longest running travel event.

But this year, with just under eight weeks to go until the UK is due to leave the EU, uncertainty hangs over when, where and whether to travel.

Michael Pullman is marketing manager for Wild Frontiers, an award-winning company that offers adventure holidays.

He says his company has had a strong start to the year in terms of UK holidaymakers making bookings.

"From our perspective the travel industry has proven quite resilient. We've had a really good January just passed and our stand has been really busy today with people wanting to get holiday ideas."

But there was a decline after June 2016, when the referendum result was initially announced.

"We did see initial drop off just after the Brexit referendum result, that was largely due to currency issues, the pound obviously lost ten percent of its value. As a result we had to put a lot of our prices up because we price our tours in dollars in a lot of our destinations. So we saw a bit of a drop off then. But surprisingly despite all the current chaos we're seeing people are very interested in travelling to far off places from Uzbekistan to Iran and further afield," says Pullman.

Pullman says there's an increase in people from the UK choosing to travel to places further away than Europe, but says it's unclear whether this is related to Brexit.

"I'm not sure whether it's related to current Brexit issue, but we certainly are seeing areas outside Europe growing in popularity from the Silk Road in the Middle East to Latin America as well. Quite why people are shifting their focus away from Europe and into these areas I'm not quite sure whether it's related or whether it's just a trend."

Ted Wake, managing director of Kirker Holidays, that offers luxury short breaks, says he doubts Brexit will be enough to put British people off booking holidays to Europe.

"People have seen political changes over the course of time and people will still want to go on a decent holiday," he says.

"Whatever challenges are in the short term they won't compromise their ambitions to have a well-tailored, carefully planned holiday."

So, if British people are still keen to travel to Europe after March 29 - the date the UK is due to leave the EU - what do they need to know to ensure they don't get caught out at the airport?

The latest Home Office guidance states that UK residents should have at least six months left on their passports from the date of arrival in an EU country.

But there have been suggestions that if the UK crashes out of Europe without a deal, passports many need up to 15 months left on them, potentially leaving millions of UK passports invalid.

Noel Josephides, chairman of the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA), says people could in fact get caught out, since the expiry date isn't always an accurate reflection of when the passport was issued.

"If in fact the passport you're holding now was issued prior to its expiry you have to add on those months onto the 6 months period. So you may find yourself having to need 10 months, 9 months, 15 months," he explains.

He adds that the safest way to check how long your passport is valid for is to put your details into the government's website.

Josephides says things will become even more complicated for people hoping to take their pets to Europe on a pet passport, should the UK leave the EU without a deal.

But he believes that any potential travel chaos after Brexit will be relatively short lived.

"People will just adjust and the countries will adjust because the last thing they want to do is to put people off going," he says.

Hundreds of tour operators and over 75 tourist boards are attending this year's Destinations travel event, from Europe and beyond, as well as the UK and its surrounding islands.

Ranald Caldwell is chairman of the Isle of Man Visit Agency.

The Isle of Man is an island in the Irish Sea, between Great Britain and Ireland. It's self-governing and not part of the UK or the EU.

Caldwell says given the amount of people in the UK choosing to "staycation" or holiday near their home, the Isle of Man could potentially benefit and become a great post-Brexit option for travellers.

"93 per cent of people in the UK are staying at home for at least a week's holiday a year and that accounts for 13 billion pounds staying within the UK and wider island economy, so as far as we're concerned, we are looking to see a further growth in numbers with people staying at home because of safety and security reasons, but also exchange rate reasons."

"Destinations: The Holiday & Travel Show" ran 31 January - 3 February.

Opposing groups of campaigners gathered outside the UK Supreme Court in London on Monday as judges started hearing the government's appeal against a ruling that Parliament must hold a vote before Britain's European Union exit negotiations can begin.

Prime Minister Theresa May plans to trigger two years of divorce talks before the end of March by invoking Article 50 of the EU's key treaty, using centuries-old government powers known as royal prerogative.

Those powers - traditionally held by the monarch but now used by politicians - allow the government to join or leave international treaties without consulting lawmakers.

Financial entrepreneur Gina Miller and hairdresser Deir Dos Santos went to court to argue that leaving the EU will remove some of their rights, including free movement within the 28-nation bloc, and that shouldn't be done without Parliament's approval.

Last month, three High Court judges agreed - but the government says they have misinterpreted the law.

The case has raised a constitutional quandary and inflamed the country's heated debate about Brexit.

November's ruling infuriated pro-Brexit campaigners, who saw the lawsuit as an attempt to block or delay Britain's EU exit.

Miller says she has received abuse and death threats.

She arrived at court Monday with her lawyers, greeted by cheers from pro-EU campaigners dressed as judges atop an open-topped double-decker bus.

A banner on the side read "In democracy, Leave hypocrisy."

"Nigel, where are you?" they sang mockingly, in reference to former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage, a prominent voice in the leave campaign.

He had promised to lead a march on the Supreme Court to demand judges respect the will of the majority.

It was cancelled last week after organisers said there was a risk it could be hijacked by far-right extremists.

Two anti-EU protesters held placards, one calling the case an "establishment stitch-up."

Many legal experts say the government will likely lose its appeal and be forced to give Parliament a vote.

The art and antique market in post-Brexit Britain is booming, according to London dealers.

A weak pound against the dollar and Euro is seeing American collectors in particular start to snap up bargains.

STORY-LINE:

The art and antiques market in the UK isn't just on target, it's positively booming post Brexit.

Dealers here at the Winter Art and Antiques Fair in Olympia say it's a great time to buy because of the weak pound.

American buyers in particular are attracted to London with the newfound strength of the dollar. Looking to bag a bargain they could save around 25-30 per cent compared to six months earlier.

Craig Carrington is an antique dealer with four decades of experience.

He sells many neo-classical antiques on his stand, but his showcase piece is this bust of a Roman goddess, thought to be designed by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, the same man who designed the Statue of Liberty.

He says: "As an antique dealer I think a weak pound is very good news because we sell to international clients and if the dollar is strong, the euro is strong then it's very good news for somebody like me, absolutely."

Art dealers are reporting a similar trend.

Tanya Baxter runs a gallery specialising in contemporary pieces. She says since the day of the referendum result, announcing Britain would leave the EU, she's been very busy.

She says many see the art market as a safe investment in uncertain times.

"And with the devaluation of the pound as well as the fact that Brexit has kind of made a cautious and volatile financial market it (art and antiques) is a very, very safe place."

According to Baxter the single largest group of buyers is coming from the USA:

"Well they're so excited particularly American collectors who we are getting calls from saying 'So what have you? Because I want to spend x amount and will fly over to do so.'"

One of the American investors who has come to London to buy is David Ryder.

The retired lawyer, originally from Chicago, had just bought this painting by British artist Amy Pugh. He says it's such a good time to buy, with the strength of the dollar against the pound, that he will return next month to buy more art.

Ryder says: "England is where we have bought probably 90 per cent of the artwork that we have, and we have a lot in numerous houses. We find this is a good country for selection of different artists, both contemporary and old artists, particularly from the auction houses and this is a particularly good time so we're here now and we'll come back in December again to look at more art."

Art and antique dealers haven't just benefited from the dip in the value of the pound. Immediately after the result of Brexit was announced British buyers quickly began to buy art and antiques fearing the collapse in the value of the pound.

Art dealer Julian Hartnoll is calling this a 'double-boom' for the industry.

Hartnoll says: "There's this nice new phrase, the double-boom. It was the English buying immediately after Brexit because they wanted to get out of pounds and get into objects because they were fearing the pound would become valueless. And then the Americans, as the pound subsided, have overcome their fear of terrorism in England and have started to buy again, so for instance last night my only clients were Americans."

Antique jewellery dealers are also benefiting.

Iranian jeweller Morteza Mojarad runs the Persis jewellers off Bond Street in London.

He says: "I've seen a big improvement, to be honest, since Brexit and that's I think because of the exchange rate, dollar to pound and especially Euro to pounds."

But if the situation is good for British based dealers, spare a thought for European antique dealers trying to sell in Britain.

David Lafleur is an antique dealer based in Paris with his shop Gallerie Buter.

The strength of the Euro might be good for some of his compatriots, but when Lafleur sells in the UK he is finding the competition difficult.

However, despite these difficulties he says he will continue to exhibit his Oriental antiques in London because international buyers have been scared away from Paris.

"Because of the economic crisis, you know, the people were afraid because of the terrorists, because of the tax. A lot of things saw the people leave France. So for us, it's better to come here in London because the people are here, the people from other countries are here."

The Winter Art and Antiques Fair in Olympia returns for its 26th year.

Around 100 exhibitors are displaying art and antiques, most are displaying collectibles at the high-end of the market.

It is the only fair in the UK to work with the top two trade associations and there is a strict vetting process for all pieces on sale at the show. Each item must be checked by a team of experts before the fair opens.

The Winter Art and Antiques Fair Olympia runs 31 October - 6 November.

The head of the global economic forum OECD warned Britain that leaving the European Union would be tantamount to taxing its citizens - another in a growing cavalcade of cautionary advice ahead of a June 23 referendum on membership in the 28-nation bloc.

The warning by Angel Gurria, the secretary-general of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, came just days after expressions of concern by US President Barack Obama, the UK Treasury and the International Monetary Fund.

He described the notion that Britain might gain a better trade deal outside the union as somewhat fanciful.

Gurria's assessment follows that made by the UK Treasury last week, which determined that leaving the European Union would cost Britain the equivalent of 6,100 US dollars per household.

The estimate was based on an analysis of the long-term costs and benefits of EU membership and its alternatives.

The ever-more dire OECD judgment came the same day that authorities reported Britain's economy slowed in the first three months of the year amid concerns about the global economy as well as the vote on EU membership.

The UK economy grew by a quarter-on-quarter rate of 0.4 percent in January-March, down from 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter of last year, the Office for National Statistics said Wednesday.

Services, which comprise 78 percent of the British economy, continued to grow, expanding by 0.6 percent.

But other sectors declined, including construction, mining and manufacturing.

"Brexit would, rather like a tax, hit the wellbeing and the pockets of UK citizens. Unlike most taxes, however, this one will not finance the provision of public services or close the fiscal gap. The 'Brexit tax' would be a pure deadweight loss - a cost incurred with no economic benefit. And this tax would not be a one-off levy. Britons would be paying it for many years."

7. Various of audience

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Angel Gurria, Secretary-General, OECD:

"While no one knows precisely what the costs would be, what is striking about our estimates and those produced by the other institutions, is that all the numbers under a Brexit case are negative. The best outcome under Brexit is still worse than remaining. And the worst outcomes are very bad indeed. Very expensive. The Brexit tax just gets bigger."

UK Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn on Wednesday accused Prime Minister Theresa May of pursuing a "shambolic Tory Brexit" to appease non-ministerial lawmakers in the ruling Conservative party.

The comments were made during the UK parliament's weekly Prime Minister's Questions session.

Citing a UK Treasury forecast that said the country's withdrawal from the European Union would cost its economy 66 billion pounds (88 billion US dollars), Corbyn asked May whether retaining Britain's access to the European single market was a "red line" the government would not cross in its exit negotiations.

May responded by saying the government would be "ambitious" in its attempts to secure the " maximum possible access to the European market," but that it was also clear that the result of June's referendum showed the public's desire to curb EU freedom of movement.

European Union officials have often declared that single market access is co-dependent on the freedom of movement of people, and the issue has been cited as a major stumbling block in the UK's future exit talks.

"The reality is that since the Brexit vote, the trade deficit is widening, growth forecasts are being downgraded, the value of the pound is down 16 percent," Corbyn said as he asked the government to give reassurance to Britain's businesses and workers.

Signs that Britain may be headed for a "hard Brexit" have alarmed some business leaders and contributed to a slide in the pound, which has lost almost a fifth of its value against the dollar since June 23.

Opposition lawmakers - and some from May's own Conservative Party - say Parliament should be given a role in approving Britain's terms.

The government says a vote in Parliament is not required.

But in a bid to head off a Conservative revolt during Wednesday's debate, May has promised that lawmakers will get a say, as long as it "does not undermine the negotiating position of the government."

What we are going to do is be ambitious in our negotiations to negotiate the best deal for the British people, and that will include the maximum possible access to the European market for firms to trade with, and operate within, the European market. But I'm also clear that the vote of the British people said that we should control the movement of people from the EU into the UK - and unlike the Right Honourable gentleman, we believe we should deliver on what the British people want."

They've made it clear that those jobs and investment depends on (European) single market access. What reassurance can she give to workers today, desperately worried about their future, their company and their jobs?"

But secondly, in relation to what we're doing in our negotiations, he doesn't seem to get what the future is going to be about. The UK will be leaving the European Union - we're not asking ourselves what bits of membership we want to retain, we're saying 'what is the right relationship for the UK to have to the maximum benefit to our economy and citizens of this country."

We gave the British people that vote, they have given their decision, we will be leaving the European Union, and in doing that we will negotiate the right deal for the UK, which means the right deal in terms of operating within and trading with the European market. That's what matters to companies here in the UK and that's what we're going to be ambitious about delivering."

"Mr Speaker, the Right Honourable Member for Rushcliffe (Ken Clarke, Conservative party member and UK Chancellor of the Exchequer between 1993 and 1997) often has a 'mot juste' (French for 'right word') to help us in these debates, and he simply said...what he said was, in his own inimitable way: 'The reason the pound keeps zooming south is that absolutely nobody has the faintest idea what exactly we're going to put in place.' We on these benches (Labour Members of Parliament) do respect the decision of the British people to leave the European Union, but this is a government that drew up no plans for Brexit, that now has no strategy for negotiating Brexit, and offers no clarity, no transparency - and no chance of scrutiny of the process for developing a strategy. The jobs and incomes of millions of our people are at stake, the pound is plummeting, businesses are worrying, and the government has no answers. The Prime Minister says she won't give a running commentary, but isn't it time that government stopped running away from the looming threat to jobs and business in this country and the living standards of millions of people?"

UK Brexit Secretary David Davis on Monday told parliament that the government will bring forward a "Great Repeal Bill" to scrap the European Communities Act, which brought the UK into the then-European Economic Community in 1972.

He said the European Communities Act will cease to exist the day the UK leaves the European Union. The bill will transfer all relevant EU law onto the UK statute books.

Davis also reiterated plans for Prime Minister Theresa May to trigger Article 50 of the European Union treaty, which formally begins exit negotiations, no later than March next year, without the prior approval of parliament.

"I want to update the House on how the government plans to reflect UK withdrawal from the European Union on the statute book, whilst delivering that certainty and stability. We'll start by bringing forward a Great Repeal bill that will mean the European Communities Act ceasing to apply on the day we leave the European Union. It was this act that put EU law above UK law. So it's right given the clear instruction for exit given to us by the people in the referendum that we end the authority of European Union law."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) David Davis, Brexit Secretary:

"This bill is a separate issue to when Article 50 is triggered. The Great Repeal Bill is not what will take us out of the EU, but what will ensure the UK statute book is fit for purpose after we have left and put the elected politicians in this country fully in control in determining laws that affect its peoples' lives, something that does not apply today. In order to leave the EU, we will follow the process set out in Article 50 of the European Union treaty. The prime minister will invoke Article 50 no later than the end of March next year. That gives us the space required to do the necessary work to shape our negotiating strategy."

"I believe that when we have left the European Union, that when we are once again in true control of our own affairs we'll be in an even stronger position to confront the challenges of the future.
