    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it can be just a blip - because there is no majority support in parliament for any form of brexit. Even the EU does not have a preference for any form of future relationship.

    TM: "If it were the case that at the end of the negotiation process actually it was a no deal ...then actually that would come back to this House and then we would see what position this House would take in the circumstances". She has thrown down the gauntlet. I wonder if the ERG is going to...

    Looking for step through bike for my wife?

    the British system relies on the 'will of the people' which results in incredible flexibility, not found elsewhere in the world. There is no better solution for brexit at the moment than a limited customs union on agriculture at the moment.

    Charity dos. Lunches and dinners for the rich, rattling tins in supermarkets and the High Street for the poor. The UK is unique in the world where charities employ so many people and their patronage is still the preserve of the old and new money.
