She has more faith than do I: No-deal Brexit is a Dad’s Army parody and I refuse to stockpile Polly Toynbee Plan B? No, just B for Back to Brussels to Beg a Better Backstop, not even Botoxing her old plan A. Theresa May does not surprise. Wild rumours that she might dash for another...

Translation: Cameron did not think Blame Lib Dems Cameron did not think EU referendum would happen, says Tusk European council president reveals PM was convinced that Lib Dems would block the vote

Just the other day I rang a customer - who I assumed was at home - and found myself talking to her as she was going up in that cable car. Surprisingly good reception. Her and phone signal.

Probably busy trying to fathom why you so often confuse commas, apostrophes and <no punctuation mark>. :D Most likely he is reading, or will later read, and deciding whether or not to declare any reactions.

Guardian has this as of 18:25 today: The Guardian view on Theresa May’s challenge: no change, no Brexit Editorial At the weekend, two former prime ministers showed they understand the need for new Brexit approaches. Theresa May needs to learn the same lesson...

Does cutting and pasting make it untrue? Highly personally, I and partner have benefited from being able to use UK (NHS and private) prescriptions to get the medicines dispensed by European pharmacies. Cross-border prescriptions have been of huge benefit to many people with whom I am in regular...

How do they get in touch with people these days? Do they still phone? We do not have a landline (well, we do, but it is only there to permit broadband). Anyway, the answer is that I have never been contacted by anyone I believed to be a polling organisation.

Is this just Vince trying to convince us? Or is there some possibility of movement? Ministers agree to consider Lib Dem plans for new referendum Vince Cable says move follows cross-party talks on Brexit deadlock options...

Labour will have to change something to encourage me to vote for them. No way do I want to vote for a party that is still accepting brexit at all. However, the tories don't stand the remotest chance of getting it.

I can't help but see people around him in some new situation like that being disappointed that the real DC doesn't measure up to Benedict Cumberbatch.

Last I read, he was saying that he thought remain might be a better option...

Partner responded when I read out the first couple of paragraphs of the Telegraph story with: "She's lost the plot, hasn't she?"

And a change to UK law - as withdrawal has a legally defined date and time.

Canada+? Norway++? The obvious answer is Anne Elk. Let us get sculpting now! I suggest 20 metres? https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/jan/18/worlds-tallest-moose-statue-canada-norway-battle

The issue seems to be that the people who care (mostly the patients) are inadequately reassured that there will not be shortages. Of the four makes of levothyroxine in the UK, three have been reported to be in short supply. The one that seems readily available is, ironically, the one that is...

Bear in mind it is the government which ordered stockpiling of six weeks supply of medicines. Not the patients. Most of us have our access to medicines controlled by the prescription system so do not really have the option of stockpiling.

A very simple thought-experiment regarding the publicly acknowledged medicine stockpiling (which is entirely due to brexit) demonstrates that if you take six weeks of supply out of circulation to put into storage, you will have a shortage. That some pharmaceutical companies consider six weeks...

I am not convinced that another referendum is a good answer. But it is difficult to see another option right now so it might be all we have.

The 2016 referendum most certainly has been a disaster.

Also, remember this little Gove preference: Michael Gove admits leave campaign wrong to fuel Turkey fears Brexiter says he would have preferred campaign to have had ‘slightly different feel’
