@APHClarkson Leave rhetoric in 2016 was a smorgasbord of different and sometimes contradictory dishes. In these chaos, everyone chose their own dish and, more importantly, could claim afterwards that their own favoured dish was the preference of everyone else as well.

@Keeznuuts @NBCPolitics @KeithOlbermann Perhaps there was a whistleblower who blew the whistle on the whistleblower who blew the whistle on the whistleblower.

@sammwittings It takes time for Sunak to work out his spontaneous reaction.

@APHClarkson It would have been a fascinating example of political versatility if Wagner were really now setting up a competitor for the PGA.

@chrisgreybrexit I do not know whether Johnson is the victim of a plot by the Privileges Committee to get rid of him. I do know however that if there is such a plot it has unfortunately nothing at all to do with a desire to reverse Brexit. I wish it did , but it really doesn’t.

In the latest FedTrust video David Melding argues that complacency is preventing much-needed constitutional reform in the UK. See https://fedtrust.co.uk/video-can-federalism-save-the-united-kingdom/

@hhesterm If it’s British it must be the best. The content is a matter of secondary importance.

@DavidHeadViews @mrjoelclark The question is not whether we should rejoin now but whether we should do all we can to rejoin the European Union as soon as possible. If Keir Starmer believes the latter he has an odd way of expressing it.

@PascalR57 Nobody would find it plausible, which is good luck for anyone on whom your novel might be based.

@NicholasTyrone Brexit was brought about by an unholy alliance of globalists and anti-globalists. That is only one of the underlying reasons why it can never be made to work.

@APHClarkson @DavidHenigUK As they say in German, “you can’t force anyone to be happy.” Many Britons would require a lot of persuading to be happy in the way you describe.

As always, Chis Grey’s Friday blog is required reading. I particularly liked its last sentence. It is very good advice.
RT @chrisgreybrexit: @HenryTanguy Thanks. Hence (re your 'but') my last line "Equally, it’s perfectly right to keep pushing for the next steps, and necessary, too, if they are to be taken."

@JMPSimor @moonhare77 Sam Goldwyn once remarked that he did not seek legal advice in order to help him decide what to do, but in order to help him do what he had already decided to do without going to jail. Perhaps Sunak has the same approach.

@newsboy23 @ProfBrianCox @Picss3o The members of the Conservative Party are unlikely to choose centrist candidates to replace right wingers who are stepping down. That is how the radical Euroscepticism of the Party will perpetuate itself.

@ProfBrianCox @Picss3o Irrational hatred of everything to do with the EU is too deeply entrenched in today’s Conservative Party for this to be a realistic prospect. It would be like expecting the Ku Klux Klan to throw an annual party for Martin Luther King Day.

@chrisgreybrexit It’s a great compliment that so many of the Brexiters spend so much time trying to make you believe that two and two equal five. Ardent Brexiters can believe a dozen impossible things before breakfast and they think it would be feather in their cap to have you doing the same.
