This one is brilliant... To quote
"the only thing worse than this government in recess is it at work".
Very good general summation of our current predicament.

MPs brutally mock Tory David Davis for falsely claiming 'nobody said Brexit would be easy'
MPs burst out laughing when he made the claim - because his own Cabinet chum said an EU deal would be 'one of the easiest in human history'
Cabinet minister Liam Fox said six weeks ago: "The free trade agreement we will have to come to with the European Union should be one of the easiest in human history."
Then-UKIP leader Paul Nuttall said in January: "It will be easy to negotiate a trade deal. It's in the EU's interests."
Did you know that you can access the Leave Campaign websites that they have taken down?

See for instance Boris, Gove and Patel spouting nonsense in front of the infamous red bus that they now claim was nothing to do with them, and a whole catalogues of things now being denied.
Do you still cling to the fantastic notion that Brexit will EVER benefit you?
Care to share the reason this is likely?
Any reason will do, any reason at all.
And with regard to your notion that dropping Brexit will have repercussions for years to come, it's more likely that it will leave the same impression a brick has thirty seconds after it has been tossed in a pond.
Some celebrities boob job is likely to be of more concern to the public.

No in fact it is a comment relating to emerging countries with high levels of industrialisation and investment.
It has absolutely no relevance whatsoever to the situation that the UK is it, has it?
You're having one of your wet dreams again, aren't you?
This sort of rubbish appears with boring repetitiveness whenever there's a slow news day .
Isn't it fun watching Tory Vermin squabble?

CONCERNS have been raised that the Chancellor Philip Hammond may have deliberately slowed down economic growth to undermine a clean Brexit."
Really this newspaper should be renamed for it's real political allegiance

TM is going to say today that she would never accept the EU's plan for NI.
Does it mean that she is about to u-turn yet again?
On the face of it, the UK's position on NI is ridiculous.
Talking about having cake and eating it, if TM wants NI to be treated the same as the rest of the UK, why does she not say that she wants the rest of the UK to be treated the same as NI? that's just a straightforward deduction. No border, freedom of movement of persons, goods, capital, integrated supply chain etc.

Brexit: British government's botched German translation of Chequers white paper met with ridicule
The translation was branded ‘unreadable’ by German speakers
Alternatively shout at the Johnny Foreigners in the old fashioned way
My goodness, didn't anyone think to ask a real German speaker to read the ruddy translation?

translations are usually done by native speakers of the language that is translated to, in this case, it should have been translated by a native German.
Good work, DM.
Guess what, we are going to lose even more if JRM has his way.
Of course there is the possibility that the white paper doesn't make sense in English either?
I am reminded of a Groucho saying
"Why a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can't make head nor tail out of it.

Here for the delectation of connoisseurs of tragi-comedy are the translations of the white paper

the French text reads OK although it seems to be written by two people or more. 'Un Brexit pratique' reads better than 'Note de synthèse'.

No political agenda???
capx is a creation of the CPS, conservative think tank. Its main argument is sunlit upland outside the EU.
