So would you trust non-EU inspectors doing the job in NI and exporting to and through RoI?

But who does that job for NI? Non-EU inspectors or EU inspectors working in the UK. Either seems a questionable choice with possible difficulties.

Maybe. But he might be forced into some other path: Boris Johnson would be committing the “gravest abuse of power and attack on UK constitutional principle in living memory” if he shuts down parliament to help force through a no-deal Brexit, according to legal advice obtained by Labour. In a...

The resulting lack of government action in numerous areas is yet another way in which voting leave was idiotic.

What about Ken-and-Harriet (remember William and Mary?)

What stops us doing something now? Chapter and verse, please.

The claim is that he will use prorogation.

Just a thought. Whilst he might very much wish it were otherwise, even DT cannot close down HoR in order to stop them voting on something. If BJ tries to go ahead with preventing HoC acting, he will be fundamentally destroying a part of our constitution. I shall not be surprised if the...

BJ has forgotten that he is an MP. You don't get to choose whether Brexit happens, Johnson tells MPs PM issues fresh warning against blocking no deal as he reiterates UK will leave in October https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/26/boris-johnson-warning-mps-block-no-deal-brexit

I think we will very much NOT be fine if BJ persists in his current tack. Of course, it could be all lies, b luff and bluster... If we had hoped the EU would allow us to settle over a reasonably long period, looks like BJ has probably blown that possibility out of the water. Brexit: EU 'would...

It might have helped if there had been illustrative examples. Preferably accompanied by well-designed visuals. People can very easily skim past words like those and not take them in. (In other circumstances, I know I have done so.) "Easier and cheaper", for example, doesn't capture the flavour...

So twitter says Steve Barclay MP‏Verified account @SteveBarclay Aug 23 is one of Finland's biggest trading partners with £5bn of trade between us each year. That's why it's in interests to secure a good deal by 31 October. The reality is: The top export...

Export cauliflowers - just after the crop has been severely affected by "extreme weather". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49330210 Shows a PM with finger on the pulse, well briefed and up-to-date. (No, of course not. Cauliflowers and pork pies aren't pulses. I have no idea about his underwear...

Do you mean that?

Just what is a trade deal agreement with DT worth? A sheet of Cushelle? Probably only a scrunched up half-sheet of Izal medicated... White House insists Trump not having second thoughts on China trade war Asked he is rethinking tariffs, president says: ‘Sure. Why not?’ Press secretary: Trump...

Poor sods - I'd love to be able to ignore him.

Who said Hammond was behind leaking that document? Get writing your apology... Philip Hammond has written to Boris Johnson to demand an apology from the prime minster for suggestions that he or other ministers in the previous government could have been behind the leaking of a dossier detailing...

Which all seemed to start in mid-2016. Until then, I was pretty non-fearful and not miserable. Since then, the unbelievable incompetence, lies, consequences have indeed started to engender fear and misery. Anti-depressant prescribing went up across the board from 2016 to 2017. Sorry, I don't...
