"Retail sales rose in July despite Brexit slump fears, report finds"

There was an excellent interview on Today on R4 this a.m. with a senior L&G blokey who refused to be drawn into any anti-brexit trap by Humprhries and Co. He was very good. Starts at about 02:40:35

The L&G blokey is the Chief Exec, Nigel Wilson.
