Sajid Javid looks more like The Hood (Thunderbirds) every day! Though less eyebrow. But seems he is going to OK HS2 - so awaiting decision from BJ which will tear into tory cohesion.

He always was undesirable. :) Can we turn him back at our border? Or put him into isolation?

As in a possible rebellion. (What? Already!) Johnson faces Tory rebellion after allowing Huawei 5G role Senior Tories consider trying to force Commons vote on tighter restrictions for Chinese firm...

A reminder: Margaret Thatcher rejoices – and splits the country in two

I am happy to give our cat (also rescued) house room. And garden room. And everywhere else room. If the person were to arrive on the doorstep, I'd like to think I would send him packing in a way that has sometimes caused a twitter storm. (Probably be too slow at thinking up suitable words...

It feels like media diversionary tactics are in full flow. But, to be fair to the man behind it, it looks like the breaking of the story now is just chance. From the Mirror: "I've tracked down Lord Lucan", is the "bombshell claim" on the front of the Mirror. The peer vanished 46 years ago...

I'd be tempted to use the word "had" here. Why the prime minster can't even obey our own laws. Or requirements for disclosure of interests as mayor of London.

But the term "unfettered" appears to have been applied to both directions. I suspect Barnier can (and will) do something about exports to NI.

Typo now corrected.

While the new departure date has been known since October, when the prime minister grudgingly sent the EU an unsigned letter to comply with a backbench-instigated bill mandating a new extension, it seems Conservative central office has not planned its memorabilia in time. Small print under each...

I didn't notice anyone post about the great fund raising effort: Brexit: Big Ben bongs fundraising appeal closes 27 January 2020 Campaigners have officially ended a crowdfunding appeal which was raising money to make Big Ben's bell ring to mark Brexit day. The StandUp4Brexit group says the...

"I'm incompetenter than the av-er-age bear!" I simply can't read past Mnuchin without seeing Munchkin. Surely I am not alone?

That attachment makes Firefox crash! Which has its amusing side.

My choice is to tell the USA to get lost. I don't want hormone-fed beef or chlorinated chicken. So, please, keep it out of my country. The main reason to continue banning it is that labelling will never be up to giving the consumers a choice at every step. Maybe if you go to a good butcher...

I am confused. (Which is usually quite easy to achieve.) Take this possible scenario: I hop on a ferry from Pembroke Dock to Ireland and do some shopping in Dublin. I then decide to sample the delights of Belfast and do some more shopping. Then, hop on a ferry back direct from Belfast to...

So the need for forms, and whether they can put put in the waste paper basket, continues to be an issue: Barnier refutes Johnson's claims over Irish Sea trade checks EU’s chief negotiator says UK agreed to checks as part of withdrawal agreement

The consequences of disuniting could be interesting. Both Scotland and Wales appear to have more electricity generation than they need for themselves. The corollary would appear to be that England has not got enough.

Long enough for Sturgeon to demand their own Master caird, as well, I'd guess. But not that much longer.

Song of the Week [ALL CHILDREN] There's a sad sort of clanking From the clock in the hall And the bells in the steeple, too And up in the nursery an absurd little bird Is popping out to say "cuckoo" (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!) Regretfully they tell us (cuckoo!) But firmly they compel us (cuckoo!) To say...

Isn't that why they won't give Bercow a seat in the Lords? (Ho Ho.)
