Hello again
This is very much written for those of you overseas who might have heard a few things via your media about a new party emerging in the UK and sweeping to victory in the European elections. Well, yes, but see more below.
First, let’s back-track a bit. If …
It’s the Easter holidays and the MPs, probably for their own sanity’s sake, are on holiday so there are no dramas to report. Although I will say that, exactly as before, the week we were granted the extension began in high anxiety mode and then fizzled out, with MPs just …
Nowadays nearly every week is a critical week. Last week was – yet it seemed to end with a dribbling away of tension. They didn’t work over the weekend either. They, being Mrs May and Corybn and perhaps the Cabinet. How unlike the rest of us they are. In any …

What’s happening? Well a lot has happened since my last post, and then again nothing has happened, apart from a great deal of shouting. Because nothing is agreed, although I qualify that with, actually, there are things that are agreed over the water in the EU, and then not a …
I’m finishing this piece on the 11thNovember having watched the wreath laying on our Cenotaph at 11.0am. How ahistorical are our politics. Remember, remember I’d say.
Anyway, backstop? Everyone these days seems to be using that word – backstop. But what does it mean? This is about Brexit, …
