Now in the commons the Chancellor getting a bollocking. "John Bercow, the Speaker, says what Javid is saying is ?unseemly?. He says he says this ?with a heavy heart?. He says Javid is veering into matters unrelated to the spending round, which is supposed to be the subject of his statement. He says he wants Javid to adjust his remarks, so that he focuses on the spending round. " A few seconds later "Javid says he wants faster internet services"

LOL - Old Moggers really has no regard for anyone who didn't go to eton :)

The Heaton Arms was under my block 10 years ago and I feel guilty about that sometimes. It is one of the successful developments though IMHO.

The erstwhile Lords turning up with duvets and changes of clothes today. They predict an all nighter,

Fair enough - all good ideas above.

As I said previously - 5 years in EFTA/EEA with an agreement to review and fast track back into the EU or to leave with a free trade agreement after that. EU have already offered this to Theresa May but it was disregarded by her. Edit: That's my compromise position - My original position is strong remain.

Strange poll of 10,000 today for the Conservative Group for Europe (but not by them) showing almost a totally hung parliament - not sure of it's validity - reported on TV and in the Financial Times 321 (Labour+LibDem+SNP+Others) 311 Tories (no BxParty - seems they don't get a seat) DUP lose one to alliance 322 to 321 - Nobody really winning. https://twitter.com/SebastianEPayne/status/1168546988205518850 Oh - It's an MRP survey so looks at constituency level I think.

After Brexit we may lose the variety (many saying we already have).

Not if you've never cycled before If you know how to cycle but not in London it's the deep end (I wouldn't do that route tomorrow)

Simple Works in a parliamentary type democracy but we're moving towards one where the PM is much more Presidential and then there's Dom Cummings ;)

Actually the closest we have at the moment is the Kim Darroch leak. ?We have prima facie evidence of a very serious crime.? Scotland Yard

Water, Medicines and Power come first (OK we can put up with some power cuts but not many as we rely on power so much these days - unlike the 70s where power cuts happened regularly). Food variety and other stuff (toiletries) we can make do for a while (it won't kill us).

Why give Johnson 5 years whilst the country goes to the dogs (you may disagree it will - but that's OK as I'm using the assumption it will)

Here's Pete North's Blog - and he's a leaver who is now saying no deal is inevitable but always one Remainers would call "a sensible leaver" http://peterjnorth.blogspot.com/

They would still need a plan to leave and there is none. Many of us would have accepted a soft (maybe temporary) Brexit as a 52-48 result would signal and the freedom to move again at a later stage. Once there we could have changed our systems and regathered. Pete North (he of the potty mouth) and his dad Richard wrote loads and loads of articles/plans for this which were widely praised.

Re: Another Extension. It's not the Food I'm worried about to be honest It's medicines, water and power. There are people claiming to be in the know who say these basics are not yet sorted in a No Deal event.

Times - (I can only see the top bit without paying) have started naming names involved too. Not seen many interviews with them though. For Info - Sonia Khan is a leaver through and through and is not part of Spreadsheet Phil's rebels. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/sajid-javid-aide-sonia-khan-fired-in-mafia-style-hit-056gn0z3r Shows the mistrust between Hammond and Cummings though - I guess May feels similar along with a few former ministers.
