And now the DUP are super-favoured... Boris bedazzles DUP with Brexit balm on a cold Belfast night Former foreign secretary offers succour and solidarity in one-night show over the Irish Sea...

We are in such a strong position. Brexit: May gives way over Gibraltar after Spain's 'veto' threat Spanish prime minister had demanded written assurance as price of support for withdrawal agreement

Bad link, i’m Afraid.

Well we won't be blasted by water cannon, will we? (Selected actions of Boris Johnson, passim. ) :)

Flat taxes? The poorest pay 20% of every penny as do the richest. Voucher-based - so that some companies can sell eduction as a commercial product. Privately provided health so companies can make a nice profit. Freedom of trade with the world - but not, of course, with the 27. Allow...

And why so many benefit from charitable status? And why the Charity Commission website doesn't neatly link to the Companies House website so you can see significant people and their roles across the somewhat artificial divide between charities and companies.

I didn't know who on earth he is, so here is a brief overview of the organisation which he represents, it seems. Shanker is the Director of the International Trade and Competition Unit (ITCU) of the Institute of Economic Affairs. The ITCU is focused on providing advice to the UK government...

What a cess pit it is - even if it isn't actually true, that fact that it is now yet another issue, and initially quite believable, says enough. Theresa May accused of giving knighthood to buy MP's Brexit silence Former minister John Hayes has been reluctant to back PM’s deal in recent...

That sort of vermin. Plain and simple. The only rational reason for having them is exactly what they were used for by the IRA. Critics of the proposed ban have said that no .50 weapon has been used in a crime in the UK since the IRA disarmed. Yes, well, no thermonuclear device has (yet?) been...

I realise this is a simplistic view, but how many of us have our rights and freedoms significantly reduced if we are not allowed the ability to immobilise a truck a mile away? And the persuaders are the usual suspects. Sajid Javid abandons plans to ban .50-calibre military-grade guns Home...

That TM spoils so many things. JC had been due to visit our local cheese factory. (Not that I knew until I read this.) LABOUR party leader Jeremy Corbyn has cancelled a visit to Haverfordwest today (Thursday). 7 comments The MP had been due to visit the First Milk dairy in Merlins...

Eight years from referendum, more or less, to decide whether you regret it? The pro-brexit claims made it sound as if minutes after leaving we would all be better off. Not that it would takes years to negotiate the actual leave, more years to negotiate the future relationship, and everything...

You want a smörgåsbord deal where everything is laid out for us to choose from and we pick and choose.. Trouble is, many of the dishes only work because of the whole table. You take the fish roe but not the bread and it is just wrong.

What we have seen through much of the brexit process has been leavers damning the EU in total. Churchill could have wanted the UK to be separate from the EU - or a member - that we cannot know. But I can't find anything so far that suggests he was, or rather would have been, actually anti-EU as...

You seem proud to have done what the few nutters wanted you to do. Rather than consider that the incredible panoply of highly experienced people - who very often completely disagreed with each other in most contexts - just might make sense? (My own decision was probably effectively made many...
