Alexandra Hall Hall, Brexit counsellor in Washington, has resigned because she is no longer prepared to "peddle half-truths on behalf of a government I do not trust". Which should be a huge blow to the government.

Election interference - now even Pantone are in on the act. Very concerning. Not just the choice of colour but the words. That DC must have some connections... Announcing the Pantone Color of the Year 2020 PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this...

John Major doesn't like brexit - or BJ:

Yes, yes, yes. The USA has a tradition of asking about the health of their president – and not just recently. I wonder if we should be inquiring as to BJ’s fitness for office in that sense as well as every other meaning? Was reminded of David Cameron insulting JC: David Cameron has told...

Agreed. Speaking of it as if the result is already in can itself have numerous effects. Some might not bother to vote because the result is already decided. That could work either way. I'd be happy if tories assume they are going be elected so don't bother to vote. I'd be unhappy if non-tories...

I'm sure JC will be made most welcome. Unfortunately, it is already full so I shan't have the chance to attend. Jeremy Corbyn Rally Event in Haverfordwest Tomorrow Jeremy Corbyn will be in Haverfordwest to talk about how we win a better society, and we hope you can join him...

Uncharacteristically for me, let us accept our unbeloved PM's words for a moment: The prime minister also used his appearance on the daytime television sofa to argue that some criminals like the London Bridge terror attacker, Usman Khan, were not capable of being rehabilitated. Khan had served...

I can imagine Kaiser, or whoever, actually buying a hospital (whether newly-built, ex-NHS or converted hotel or offices or even shopping centre) and offering to a deal to provide, say, all the elective surgery in an area at what appears a good price. By the time they are fully established...

How many of his apparent voters are also fakes or bots? I have been wondering how truthful people are in answering pollsters. The organisations are not stupid, they know there are many reasons people will lie or mislead. But in the circumstances of today, I question whether the rate of...

Even if the legislative side were passed immediately, I can't see it arriving in everyone's pockets within weeks. Aha! I see a February budget is being claimed (promised? threatened?) So that means a couple of months before they can start making any changes. Just over a year ago: Welfare cuts...

My step-father used to sculpt at Madame Tussauds - he did, for example, Henry VIII and his wives. (As well as being a professional sculptor in the more conventional materials such as stone and clay.)

The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time And all I he gotta do is act naturally.

Can there really be anyone left who has not been denigrated, insulted, or what have you by our dearly unbeloved PM? Boris Johnson made claims that children of working mothers in low-income families were “unloved and undisciplined” and more likely to “mug you on the street corner”, it has...

It would have been a much better Christmas if brexit had never been launched or had been clearly cancelled.

No, of course he was telling the truth. He was lying when, back in June, he said: But speaking at a press conference alongside Theresa May on the second day of his state visit to the UK, the president said: “I think everything with the trade deal is on the table. When you’re dealing in trade...

I see there is a gofundme appeal - which I want to support. But the idea that my contribution would end up funding Raab's department (or, at least, reimbursing) sticks in my throat. (Just checked, UK councils paid an average of over £1400 per "pauper's" funeral. So it would have cost most of...

Of course, leavers will utterly reject any suggestion they need to be told of this. They already know for whom (and what) they are going to be voting.
