And as I pointed out yesterday, Justine Greening is speaking later - damn those Westminster elites in their bubble!

Yes, that really is Dame Rachel De Souza who works for a trust whose founder was a non-executive director at the DfE...Too often the education debate in this country has been conducted by elites in Westminster and Whitehall.

So, has all the posturing about the Brexit bill has been in vain?
The Prime Minister’s Florence speech was a horrible, corpse-like stumble into the waiting arms of Michel Barnier. He won’t be giving her a helping hand, though; he’ll be reaching into her pocket to grab her purse and then giving her a bit of a shove to help her on her fall.
Not entirely happy then.The Brexiteers have a huge advantage: the way Article 50 works means that, if the Government does not give them what they (and the majority of the country’s voters) want, then they can impose a hard Brexit by bringing it down.

Re: Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th September 2017
If the UK doesn't have appropriate trade agreements and customs arrangements in place when necessary, lives and businesses are in a tough spot, isn't that the case? I'm not catastrophising for sport, I'm trying to understand. I'm unhappy with all the noises current Tory government have made thus far and wonder what they're playing at. The UK is one country, an economy its prosperity depends on being connected to other nations' economies. Other nations aren't facing catastrophic breakdown should the UK be unavailable for buying or selling.
I'm uncomfortable with the bombastic arrogance of this government. They don't care if people don't have enough to eat.

If we're talking about EU nationals already here, then we're talking about a finite number of people - not exactly a big deal in the grander scheme of things to get things moving.

Not prepared to give her any benefit of the doubt on this based on the appalling incompetence she has shown in all aspects of Brexit........
She has shown she cannot deal with unscripted and uncontrolled exchanges and I am on Tubby's page that she has just not understood the implications of what she said
Even if you are right are you sure those who will be frothing at this will accept that EU UK residents will have more rights that UK citizen residents?
I am not so convinced she has accepted the four freedoms either for the transition - it appears she has but with the ineptness of the Tories until Barnier has confirmed it has been agreed in the negotiations then I will refrain from heaping praise on her

Not just a case,like Cameron repeatedly did,prior to,through process and after enaction of maintaining a line of "the disabled are exempt" when they weren't when faced with the question/evidence contrary to regarding the bedroom tax,in robotic fashion.It was clear it was a lie and easilly seen to be absolute bollox on two seconds investigation but it "stuck" as a phrase in the minds of far too many?As an example.

Not sure.I didn't view it as on the hoof response,she must have known it would come up/anticipated.The brief question/answer session looked a bit contrived to me.Not saying she knew the questions beforehand but would have rehearsed them if x was asked etc.She would know the "take" from the people she invited quesions from.
