    What Etienne said.
    Took me a while though.

      Have no idea what it is. It's not Wham...

        The cry of the Internet conspiracy theorist...

          More than once from folk who seem to be in the loop I've heard there's a whole Paris catacombs of skeletons in Johnson's closet. As much of the guppy type stuff as the shagging around. Maybe the press are sitting until they smell blood, or maybe, like trump, bad behaviour and downright criminality won't stick to the fucker.

                I must say, I don't get the whole Jacob Rees-Mogg thing - ironic applause by Corbynistas, perhaps?

                  Not exactly a stampede of senior Labour figures to back McDonnell v Blair. McDonnell is going to have to better than "he's out of touch with the pubs and clubs" next time.

                  Cmon kids. You can have cheap university tuition or Hard Brexit. You can't have both. Which do you want?

                    On a side note, I'm a bit surprised that writing down student debt is an "ambition". Loads is going to be written off anyway- I think lots of people know that. Get something concrete worked out to write off that money now. It's a fiscal and political freebie.

                      This is bollocks. Dangerous bollocks at that. And unnecessary bollocks to boot.

                        "Make our own laws", oh great. Pure Kipper.

                        Could be time for another leadership challenge. It's only fair and democratic they get held every year, right?

                          Could be. Join up, if Chuka Umunna goes for it you can vote for him.

                                Given that the EU is so bad at negotiating trade deals, he must have won by now, right?

                                Even if Germany could or would negotiate its own deals, I reckon it might not fancy "you get your cars in, we get everything".

                                  So, the Dutch government has informed its nationals that if they take out British citizenship, they will be stripped of their Dutch passports. Granted, the incentive is to return home, but it comes across as blackmail.

                                    The whole Dutch proscription on Dual passports, seems a wee bit pandering to the racist vote. Whit a surprise from Rutte and the boys. But they can do fuck all to EU citizens (and I guess, Norwegian and Swiss migrants). Your move Britain.

                                      It's more than a wee bit. Rutte and his party are a morally bankrupt goat parade. That they manage to attract so many votes is an indictment against democracy.

                                        Is there anyone left in the UK who hasn't unearthed an Irish granny yet?

                                          " The rush for Irish passports reflects the desire of those who have Irish ancestry to keep their options open after the UK leaves the EU"

                                          "Ancestry." The Irish media has severe difficulty in understanding the concept of citizenship. If somebody is eligible to apply for an Irish passport, then they were already an full Irish citizen to start with.

                                            Apparently Gove thinks we're not being hardline enough on ECJ jurisdiction, which is quite something. I wasn't aware it was possible to be more hardline until this morning.

                                              So, as far as I can tell, the only progress made so far is that the UK (apart from its foreign secretary) acknowledges there will be an exit bill of some kind. Nothing else.

                                                We have 14 months left. Nothing to worry about.

                                                  Britons living in EU - don't plan any sudden moves:

                                                    Au contraire. Seems to me we need to get our moving in now. Or suddenly if you like
