A widening gap will emerge between the economies of the South East and the North of England after Brexit, and Derby will be left at the very bottom, a new report suggests.
A study by law firm Irwin Mitchell and the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), predicts that, at the end of 2020, the city will have the lowest economic growth of any city in England (0.6%).

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers was pleased by the "great courage" his players showed in their Manchester City game on Monday, saying their performance bodes well for the future.
The game ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Foxes, after Vincent Kompany's wonder strike. It puts a spot in next season's Europa League out of Leicester's reach.

"I thought defensively and tactically, the team played a good game. They are difficult to contain with their quality and some world-class players.
"We will learn from this and look to end the season strongly."

Unfortunately, it's clear it was supposed to have been put more than 150 miles further north in Newcastle, where references to Geordies, the Toon and the Angel of the North would make a bit more sense...
To be fair, the nod to the 'Magpies' does work for both cities.

A Nottingham woman has been describing how she had to give up work because of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Hannah Grundy was diagnosed with ME only months after starting a new job at Experian. At one point she even struggled to get out of bed.
This week she's supporting a national campaign to raise awareness about the condition - which affects a quarter of a million people in the UK.
She said: "Before I got ill, I used to get up, brush my teeth, go to the loo, have a shower, get dressed and wash a few pots - now I wouldn't achieve all that in a day.
"It's very much behind closed doors. When you see us, it's on a good day when we don't necessarily look that ill - you don't see the three days of rest to get to that point."

Species normally confined to the south are now being found in Derbyshire as parts of it have become warm enough for them.
