It is obvious that we must continue to accept EU food standards simply because of our need to import food from the EU. The article below shows that any US deal will force us to accept USA standards. When two sets of standards are both in force, inevitably we will end up accepting the lower of...

Leading inevitably to hanging chads. Or to get back to WWII (as remainers we are supposed invariably to get there): WOT! No brexit?

The second box should be overprinted with a transparent resist that will not take any of the usual markers like pencil and ink. :) (In seriousness, of course any vote is only meaningful if those voting have a choice. This is a flippant comment, not serious.)

Answer the question you want the person to have asked with an answer (of sorts) you were going to give regardless of what was asked. Q Nicky in Scotland asks how the PM will preserve the United Kingdom A Its the most important union of the last few centuries. Johnson essentially says he will...

Love it. Let it be re-published and quoted everywhere. Especially social media.

The latest update on financial interests of HoC members has just been published. BJ has a 50% share in a house! But it was PP I wanted to highlight. Her impact has been amazing - rejigged the calendar! Patel, Priti (Witham) 1. Employment and earnings From 4 January 2019 to 34 July 2019...

If brexit goes ahead, under any terms but most particularly without a deal, we have ALL lost.

Interesting happening north of the border: Court hears fresh challenge to Johnson's no-deal Brexit Hearing in Edinburgh to determine how timing of bid, backed by more than 70 MPs, could work

He hasn't got my support to help an old lady across the road. Not that the old lady doesn't need or deserve some help. But I wouldn't wish him to do it and make it a photo opportunity, or abandon her halfway across as he thinks (?) of something else he'd rather be doing, or doesn't notice the...

Be sure that anything Bolton suggests is to his/their benefit, not ours. Donald Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, has said Britain and the US could sign sector-by-sector free-trade deals prior to a comprehensive trade deal as a way of helping the UK cope with the consequences of...

Send our government to France on some pretext (fact-finding tours always used to be popular), then block Calais and all the airports and other seaports. (Don't for one minute contemplate BJ seeking out Franky Zapata...)

Pity there wasn't such a thing regarding straight bananas/cucumbers, and all the other unfounded crap about the EU put out by BJ and others. (Not really saying we want propaganda ministries, but something needed saying.)

Happened across a site which forecasts currency. Suggests by September 2023, the pound will be at 0.810 euros. That's something wonderful to look forward to. (Obviously all forecasts can and do change!) http://poundf.co.uk/gbp-to-eur-forecast-pound-to-euro-2017-2018-2019

Thank goodness, I feel so reassured about brexit now. Sajid Javid's plan to flood tills with Brexit 50p coins Chancellor said to be preparing to put millions of coins into circulation for 31 October leave date Now that SJ has sufficient spare resources (personal and personnel) to concentrate...

Which would be fine if it were, what it sounds like, a theme park. "Brexit Experience" - with roller coasters, death-defying sterling plunges, no freedom to come and go as you please, ...

Perhaps advisers and others in senior positions should have to declare all receipts of public funds? In public, not just to some behind the scenes register. Brexit enforcer Cummings’ farm took €235,000 in EU handouts Boris Johnson aide, a strident critic of Brussels, is accused of hypocrisy...

Isn't the accusation that remainers always end up discussing WWII?
