          That's appalling. Particularly as champagne, as the world knows it, was a British invention.

            English sparkling wine might be sold in pint bottles, though, and there's some pretty good ones out there. I call this a win!

              568ml instead of 750ml! Yet another Brexit Win! Sunlit uplands galore!

                    In other news, the Government has moved on from "breaking international law in a specific and limited way" to gutting the protocol being characterised as a “a relatively trivial set of adjustments in the grand scheme of things”

                        The bill has been published - much legalese, but essentially allows Ministers carte blanche to override the Protocol.

                            As a piece of legislative language, this is, uh, something:


                            Section 7A(2) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (effect of law
                            relating to the EU withdrawal agreement) does not apply to—
                            (a) any rights, powers, liabilities, obligations or restrictions from time to
                            time created or arising by or under excluded provision of—
                            (i) the Northern Ireland Protocol, or
                            (ii) any other part of the EU withdrawal agreement, or
                            (b) any remedies or procedures from time to time provided for by or under
                            excluded provision of—
                            (i) the Northern Ireland Protocol, or
                            (ii) any other part of the EU withdrawal agreement

                              This adds credence to the story that they have been consulting with a former Trump administration lawyer on drafting.

                                Pity the person who had to draft this. Lucky for them it's not signed (publicly anyway).

                                    The member of the Dail they had taking about this on Radio 5 reminded me of Dara O'Briain's summary of the three levels of permission granted by the Garda.

                                    1) You're grand
                                    2) Careful now
                                    3) Right, you're taking the piss!!

                                        The number of Britons acquiring Irish citizenship by naturalisation (for those resident here but with no Irish ancestry) has risen from 54 in 2016 to 1,191 last year.

                                              This is the Co-op up the road in Downham. They started doing this in May…

                                                  I believe the government is making sure that musicians trying come in from certain countries for our festivals aren't finding things easy either.

                                                    It’s terribly clever. Puts off shoplifters by confusing them
