    It’s said that half the nation would be in fury if we end up Remaining. Rubbish; of the 17.4m (37%), a few million will be die-hard Brexit, others moderate, others marginal. Only the die-hards will be truly angry. The rest of us will be happy or tolerant of a Remain result.

    And yes, ⁦⁩ is wrong in its rewrite as well - The pair weren’t SPARED jail because of the grammar In the texts. PS The judge said nothing about education - but I guess you’d actually have to be in the court to know that.

    As I said before , Why don't the Haulage companies take their lorries to parliament and show MPs that Brexit means chaos for our supply chains in the UK? We would support them.

    The MEK is an elusive group. But Massoud Khoadandeh, who helped run the group's smuggling, spying, and security operations, tells Al Bawaba of its inner-workings and its eventual decline into an inward looking, reclusive cult.

    John Redwood on right now being utterly disingenuous. He’s saying UK can just crash-out & talk about ‘how we can spend the money’... This is the “Brexit dividend” will-o-the-wisp trick reheated. Duping public. Deeply irresponsible & this guy’s just been knighted.

    ‘Join the debate with Tim Martin’ at Wetherspoons. “Leaving the EU will result in lower prices for Australian wine” he says. “Tim,” you say, “the EU tariff on 80% of Aussie wine is 8p or less a bottle. In Feb, UK Gov charges £2.23 a bottle in UK duty, *28 times* the EU tariff…”

    Another blatant lie from his pal Steve Bannon's school of telling them what they want to hear regardless of truth, integrity or observable facts. (Followed by profiting from the damage you've persuaded them to inflict on themselves.)

    Dear , please share with us where are these cards? Have they been mislaid somewhere at Tory HQ? What sort of cards were they, so we know what to look out for - tarot cards? Stolen credit cards? Or maybe 'Congratulations on wrecking our country' cards?

    Sounds like the Tory base in the UK has turned into the Republican/Trump base here in the U.S.

    3.5 million EU citizens in the UK - colleagues, friends, family, 10% of our doctors! - and over 1 million Brits in the EU abandoned with no rights. Again, even if it’s just Project Fear by the government to get their rusting clown-car of a deal through, it’s unforgivable.

    I see it’s the official season of trashing Legal Aid. Like clockwork. The arrogance of some of that criticism is breathtaking. A thread.

    We have less than 90 days to save Britain from the consequences of a foolish decision that I, to my eternal shame, helped to make. May is useless. Corbyn is worse than useless. Sensible MPs need to step up. You represent the majority in Parliament.

    ‘Almost 1,000 police officers from England & Scotland are to begin training for deployment in Northern Ireland in case of disorder from a no-deal Brexit’ Goes from bad to mad. Apart from risks to NI peace, we’re rather short of police in rest of UK..

    UPDATE: Department for Transport says the no-deal Brexit firm (the one with no ships) put terms and conditions from a takeaway food shop on its website in "error". But why is the Department for Transport issuing statements on behalf of Seaborne Freight?

    A kid that is 11 or 12 can’t tell you what 5x5 is because... “We’ve studied Genesis through Joshua. Not so much on the math.” Jesus take the checkbook.

    Passport control at Heathrow to head to US. I’ve been asked: what do I do for living, what’s my highest degree, where do I work, where I studied, past jobs, my hobbies, what is the last book I read, to give a sinopsis + fave author....speechless!
