As the heads of Commonwealth states congregate for a summit in London for the first time in twenty years, it is reported that the prime Minister, Theresa May, ".....will call for the Commonwealth to be a beacon for free trade, at a time of increasing protectionism, and will offer UK funding to work towards common standards across Commonwealth members." Says the Financial Times.

And it looks like there is now a massive Commonwealth drive on, with Xinhuanet reporting that the Australian foreign minister, Julie Bishop, is working with the UK to expand membership of the Commonwealth beyond English-speaking nations.

"The British are keen to have a great revival of the commonwealth at this London meeting, with the royal family playing a big role, and there is a strong emphasis on trade after Brexit." she told News Corp Australia.

"There is a big push to extend the commonwealth beyond its old colonial image with a campaign to include new members which were not under British control. Mozambique has been ­admitted and others are trying."

The PM will also be launching a new £7 million fund today to help female entrepreneurs across the commonwealth. The scheme, called 'SheTrades', will help women in poorer countries overcome barriers to starting a business, says PoliticsHome.

2. Recruiting border staff in Northern Ireland.

3. Rear Admiral Chris Gardner saying the Royal navy will keep some of its older patrol vessels.

4. UK Business travel has increased, which is a good sign for Brexit.

5. PwC predicts that UK GDP will be lower than expected for the first quarter of 2018. Bur why?
