My precious dog Tibby passed away last week. He was 15 years old and it was time . My son’s girlfriend made this video for me and it’s lovely.

Brexit is also a fucking great affront to democracy in the UK and, as long as it persists, an insurmountable obstacle to any pretensions of intended recovery in the UK economy.
""Instead, Brexit is now costing this country £250 million every single day"
That's about right. Close to £100bn/ year, as I've been saying for many years. So far it's cost the UK half a trillion pounds. Enough to completely revamp the NHS and rebuild every derelict hospital and school in the UK.

A Bill demanding the UK sets up a new customs union with the EU following the "abject failure" of Brexit has been supported by MPs in a surprise vote.

Long enough to get into No.10 where he can fully screw the country over? Or could he (for love of god) be investigated before then?

Query, do those Britons supporting this want to stand up and explicitly say which of the human rights protected by the ECHR they personally would feel happy being denied?

Britons tend to support changing the European Convention on Human Rights so that it does not apply in full in cases relating to asylum and deportations, as European justice ministers agree to negotiate a new approach to the law to make it easier to deport illegal migrants
