Brilliant, Jim Acosta has his accreditation pass back :) https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/nov/16/trump-white-house-cnn-reporter-jim-acosta-pass

The Brexit secretary seems to have no role. Meanwhile Liam Fox has said "A deal is better than no deal"

Theres this (Explainer to support understanding of the draft Withdrawal Agreement from the European Union) https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/withdrawal-agreement-explainer-and-technical-explanatory-note-on-articles-6-8-on-the-northern-ireland-protocol But it doesn't help much

Anyone see Bad Ben on Amazon :) I love these cheap horrors

turn off water, turn off gas (if you can) - see if it stops. Radio ?

Boycott used to get his batting partner run out didn't he :) Apparently Gove was offered the job of Brexit Secretary and one of the conditions was he had to renegotiate the deal. So Theresa May wants to renegotiate now (as she knows this one won't pass)

You have to give it to May, she has some stamina when she wants to. "Her statement began at 10.30am and finished at 1.28pm."

I keep reading Draft Brexit Deal as Daft Brexit Deal - which it is.

LOL and after the cat turned it down she's offered it to Gove - who's still undecided apparently.

Nicky Morgan backs the deal - maybe she's being tapped up for a job :)

Penny Mordaunt is staring at her phone in a strange way apparently from the Evening Standard live feed.

11:00 and all's well - Michael Gove hasn't marched in with his letter.

Are the EU going to do any further negotiating without some kind of extraordinary mandate (like a peoples vote).

McVey Gone

She (No10) attempted to clarify that but just confused more (something about Labour) Anyway I see a huge catfight coming (and not only Larry).

McVey at least, surely? But Brexit Secretary's job is to get the coffee and biscuits.

There's a really lonely microphone sitting outside No10 waiting for Theresa May. But looks like she's not coming. edit: now she is coming - typical theresa may organisation. If she resigned she'd screw up her resignation speech.

Theresa May just hasn't got it yet - if you ring Trump he'll just shout at you (especially if you happen to be a woman). I can only imagine her frustration (or maybe she really is robotic enough not to care) https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/trump-berated-theresa-may-over-brexit-and-iran-from-air-force-one-a3989721.html

Remainers and Leavers seem united in not liking this deal. I bet Theresa May has something up her sleeve - she may be really bad at some things but she's always been good at finding ways of getting things through parliament using every trick in the book.

We haven't seen her plan but it's leaking out. We won't have representation on the Council of Ministers, We won't have MEPs (as in any form of Brexit) but we have to follow all the rules and maintain all the standards of a member. We won't be negotiating our own trade deals until we can exit the temporary deal which apparently is almost impossible to do (according to leaks) So (in my view which is similar to the Brexiteers) there is something of the Vassal state in her plan.

Theresa May has now taken back control https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-deal-latest-theresa-may-plan-retain-control-eu-sabine-weyand-cabinet-a8632866.html

Robert Mueller is after Nigel Farage and Arron Banks apparently. I'd love it if Farage was the brains behind all the sh*t going on in the world - but can't see it. https://www.newsweek.com/mueller-wants-info-donald-trumps-british-ally-far-right-politician-nigel-1214039 Lovely pic mind.

I used to catch the P12 to Canada Water and they regularly chucked us off somewhere in Bermondsey (near Millwall's ground) - you can walk from there I think if you don't mind walking.

Jacob Rees Mogg has said Theresa Mays deal is not just a vassal state but a slave state. The video (posted by Faisal Islam) is all foggy like some strange found footage movie. By the way Faisal is moving from Sky to the BBC as Economics Editor https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2018/faisal-islam
