    Some Twitter Europhiles are now so far gone that they condemn the idea of protecting our territorial waters - something every maritime country does - but are relaxed about the EU threatening to block our flights - a sanction it has never aimed at Iran or China.

    A year ago, in bucketing Southampton rain, we were doing our bit to ensure that Britain was saved from revolutionary socialism. The exit poll that night was one of the greatest moments of relief I have felt in my life.

    The Statute of Westminster, granting full independence to the Dominions, passed 1931. Not that the Dominions were in any obvious hurry. South Africa adopted the statute only in 1934, Australia in 1942, New Zealand in 1947 and Newfoundland not until it joined Canada in 1949.

    She’s unstoppable, that Liz. By the way, can we all agree that it would have been bizarre for the U.K. to have made this deal conditional on a promise from Vietnam to match its social and employment rules in perpetuity?

    There is plenty of Brexit doublethink on all sides. But there is something especially odd about simultaneously believing 1. That Brexit is an unprecedented act of economic self-harm and 2. That the EU needs to protect itself against a newly competitive post-Brexit UK.

    No country in the world gives up up its marine resources. No country promises to follow another's rules in perpetuity. It is hard to avoid the conclusion that Brussels is making these demands *precisely because* they are palpably unreasonable. It wants to make a point.

    This, via , is extraordinary. Justin Trudeau wanted PLA soldiers to carry on training in Canada even after China had kidnapped two Canadian citizens. If this is true, there should be resignations.

    The excellent is now on her way from Singapore to Vietnam, one of the region's fastest-growing economies. It is striking that most countries outside the EU see trade as a way to facilitate mutual wealth rather than as a weapon. Bring on CPTPP membership!

    "Why don't the pharma companies give the vaccine away free?" Medical research is expensive and often fruitless. Without commensurate profits, do you think we would get more vaccines or fewer? By all means buy doses to give to the poor. But that's up to us, not the manufacturers.

    If the EU doesn't want a trade deal, fine. It's a sovereign state - or at least quasi-state - and can tax its consumers all it likes. Why didn't it say so at the outset, though? Both sides could have saved themselves a great deal of time.

    “By 2050 – earlier, probably – all real knowledge of Oldspeak will have disappeared. The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking – not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.”

    The EU wants the UK to follow any future tightening of its social or environmental laws - though there would be no equivalent obligation on the EU to follow Britain. No sovereign country could accept this - which is precisely why Brussels is pushing it.

    Wealth taxes almost always end up failing and being dropped. Why? Because the rich don't sit around waiting to be taxed. They move their assets or themselves abroad, leaving the rest of us to pick up the tab. Meanwhile, saving and investment fall.
