So they think they are above the law: Michael Gove has disclosed the government’s Operation Yellowhammer contingency plan to handle a no-deal Brexit is being “triggered”. The chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, in charge of preparations for a no-deal outcome, said the risk of such a scenario...

Even when the companies claim, as some do, that changes were going to occur anyway (e.g. Ford Bridgend was said to be unrelated to brexit), it is very likely that any possibility of reversing the decisions, or reducing their impact by various means, simply won't stand a chance of being considered.

Demos, they say: Value Added: How better government procurement can build a fairer Britain A staggering 25 of the government’s 34 Strategic Suppliers (73.5%) have operations in tax havens, according to Demos report, Value Added, which explores how central government could use public...

Tsk, tsk. Brexit company. And they still seem more together than UKIP... Ukip has moved to suspend its leader Richard Braine amid a fresh power struggle within the party. On Saturday Braine confirmed that Ukip’s national executive committee (NEC) and the party chair, Kirstan Herriot, had...

And even he admitted they are not realistic. Which seems par for his course in every direction.

BJ seems to be more successful in building physical bridges than political/social ones. And just think how the garden and Scotland-NI brdges have worked out.

Did I just hear two letters - and the required one sent unsigned? BBC news. Laura. Added: And a covering note.

“It is my judgment we have reached the best possible solution,” he [BJ] said. Sounds like Dr Pangloss. And just as deluded. Where is Voltaire when you need him?

Is there a list of those who walked out? I'd love to see a recall petition on every single one of them.

Which Chinese curse is that? Any reference to it being a real Chinese curse? "Better to be a dog in a peaceful time, than to be a human in a chaotic period."?

I have zero intention of travelling to Barnsley in any future - short or long! (Though I have actually been there many times.)

Let us examine that. Maybe tomorrow (not literally, but sometime soon), UK makes a trade deal with the Klingon Empire (to avoid specifics of any real-world example). What will the relation between NI and Klingon Empire be? Will NI be able to avail itself of the KE deal for exports? For imports...

Once signed, if indeed it gets to that point, what could be done to change the WA? Let us suggest some unintended consequence, which possibly both EU and UK readily agree is bad, how can that be addressed with the withdrawal period? There is no A50 to be revoked.

If you are offering, that would do nicely. Would you like my sort code and account number?

Surely there is at least one at the end of Heathrow airport where he is going lie down in front of bulldozers. BOGOF

Well worth reading some of that twitter thread.

This is how it was worded in one report: The Northern rail network could be renationalised after years of late and cancelled trains, according to the transport secretary, who said the current franchise cannot continue as it is. Grant Shapps told the Commons transport select committee that...

The fact that Grant Shapps seems to be considering renationalising the Northern rail network should be an embarrassment of titanic proportions. The fact that the CBI has had to apologise over their ridiculous £196 billion cost of nationalisation claim should be an embarrassment of titanic...
