British nations should be further devolved so that they can get their own deals with the EU, Gordon Brown has said after the Brexit legal challenge.

I doubt we differ by much. I'd rate it somewhere between 0 and 10%. With the likelier chance being closer to zero than 10%. But we still have to try. 1 in 100 can still happen.

British Library explores 20th century maps in new exhibition

A Soviet plan of Brighton, Tolkien’s Middle-earth and a Guardian spoof are part of Maps and the 20th Century: Drawing the Line

There is much that will stop visitors in their tracks, from the funny to the chilling, and the Brighton map could be a bit of both. “It is incredibly interesting because it is so detailed,” said the show’s lead curator, Tom Harper. “It shows individual houses … it is a wonderful thing. The existence of this map does not mean that the Soviet Union was going to invade Brighton. It is military intelligence – it is just in case.”(Guardian)

Sounds wonderful - but I think maps are fascinating things.

The majority calmly discussed the EU, made a decision, and voted against it. And yet they’ve been ceaselessly defamed as ‘low information’ and ‘racist’ and have watched as their decision has been undermined and held up and relentlessly delegitimised by academics, lawmen and politicians. What must we do to make ourselves heard? To be taken seriously? If the ballot box doesn’t work, maybe it’s time for the streets?
