when we sign a trade deal with another country, we'll have to agree to something and a mechanism of dispute resolution, such as our government can be taken to a US Court in New York by an American company.

should I say safety in numbers? and they are not bad cars, parts are plentiful and cheaper than other brands. When my Toyota Supra got broken into, I changed to Audi then that one got stolen, we switched to Ford and I now ride a Woosh e-bike.

Only the manufacturers or importers are banned fitting a twist and go throttle to new bikes. Users can fit a throttle if they wish, the police are not interested in pursuing anyone using a throttle on a normal EAPC. If you want a cast iron certainty, buy one with a Type Approval or apply and pay...

modern living comes with more exposure to crimes. If you want to avoid being a victim, live like a hermit, barricade yourself inside your home, don't own anything worth stealing, don't carry cash or an expensive mobile phone, don't wear expensive clothing, don't stay in posh hotels and drive a...

'think tanks' are just PR companies, one step from ad agencies.

the maximum tax and duty free allowance is £390 per person + 1L of spirit + 200 cigarettes

BJ said two contradictory things: he wants a new deal and want it by October 31st. He can't have a deal until next year, when the new EU's machinery is in place. I expect Stewart will force him next Tuesday to admit that one of the two statements is a lie. If he does not evoke the question...

it's obvious what Stewart implies by asking the question. Answering it with a no would be his personal view, also making the attack personal rather than political, also, it wouldn't make a story. He is right not to answer it, so he gets the question repeated. That's a similar tactic used by the...

current betting odds: Johnson: 2/9 Hunt: 8/1 Stewart: 14/1 Gove: 16/1 Javid: 28/1 Raab: 50/1 I expect Johnson, Hunt, Stewart and Gove will make it to round 3 next week.

it's more than just the border posts. All cross border trade will need to be declared. If I sell a bike to an ROI citizen, he has to pay EU duty and Irish VAT, I have to claim VAT from UK government. The bike needs to have CE certificate beside Conformity certificate. Cross border trade for...

the difference between TM and BJ is if TM had got her deal through, she would be the one leading the conservatives into the next election. The tories believe that their chance at the next GE is better with BJ than with TM. However, BJ won't be rid of Farage unless Farage's BXP is up for sale. If...

he knows that he can't deliver brexit any better than TM. That's fear in itself.

he is very different from BJ. As you said, imagine BJ leading the conservatives in a banzai charge, he'd be the one getting stuck on the zip wire.

the EU seems to soften their position on the Irish backstop. If the ROI wants to limit the backstop, the other EU26 will be OK with it. They should have cut TM a little slack on this.

I thought Fingers had made a good point about lazy remainers though.

David Starskey made a pretty good comparison between BJ and Rory Stewart in last night BBC The Week.

he's had plenty of chances as Foreign Secretary. BJ likes playing with big ideas. The Olympics, airport in the Thames estuary, etc. Think big is OK in time of war but in peace time? No, it's not him. I'd rather leave my money with some bean counter.

the tories are scared of the competition: Farage on the right, JC on the left, and even of their own shadow. BJ promises to his supporters self confidence, that they are not going to lose their jobs and tax cuts. If it does not turn out that way then oops he's done it again!

BJ was openly endorsed by 85 MPs and got 114. Stewart got endorsed by 6 and got 18, beating Leadsom, McVey and Harper who had more endorsements. He is way behind BJ but has the momentum.

recent polls put Stewart just behind BJ in Mr popular contest. The difference with BJ is, if BJ succeeds TM, the next GE will be sooner than if Stewart becomes PM.
