Snow day here today. Happy kids!
How on earth is the so called government getting away with the Ireland situation?
They agreed a deal with the EU to much fanfare and are now choosing not to honour it. It's just pathetic and makes the UK look like utter fools. But of course the Brexit supporting media just cheer them on.

Re: Wednesday 28th February 2018
There's been a lot of this in BTL stuff - words are slippery and semantics can be fun but context is everything. If 'alignment' might arguably be unclear, the United Kingdom will maintain full alignment with those rules of the Internal Market and the Customs Union which, now or in the future, support North-South cooperation, the all island economy and the protection of the 1998 Agreement is much, much clearer. There is little if any doubt about what the rest of the EU think it means - if we think it means something different then perhaps we don't have a stage one agreement after all.howsillyofme1 wrote:...suppose it is the word 'alignment' that is causing the issue...

Bradley seeks to defuse Johnson leak row by reaffirming government's commitment to avoiding hard border in Ireland
Andrew Murrison, the Conservative MP who chairs the committee, starts by asking Karen Bradley to clarify the government’s stance on the Irish border.
Bradley says she cannot comment on leaked documents.
But the British government stands resolutely behind the joint report from December.
That means, as the joint report says, there will be no hard border. The UK government has said that, the Irish government have said that, and the EU have said that. That means no physical infrastructure at the border, she says.
She says she has not seen the EU document being published later. (Politics Live, Guardian)

We've dodged the snow all winter, but we've got an amber warning from 2pm tomorrow and as it's coming up from the south and heading into the Midlands and Wales I can't see how we'll dodge this one.
Meanwhile it seems the government are facing their own amber warning over the exact terms of the withdrawal agreement. I don't see that being dodged either. It's cards on the table time.

Comment on the just being published EU paper
So we are saying 'no hard border, all will be well' and the EU are saying 'This is what that means in practice'. And we will have a meltdown.The Protocol on Ireland is quite breathtaking in its level of detail. It establishes a "common regulatory area" between north-south, covering customs, VAT, energy, env, agri, product markets and more. This is the enforcement section -- full ECJ jurisdiction over Northern Ireland

The Tories are trampling all over a lot of lives, aren't they, just so they can avoid EU tax haven transparency rules. Worried the true level of corruption in this country could be revealed and political pressure to end it may become irresistible, perhaps? Certainly none of their supposed reasons - cheap chlorinated chicken via our fantastic new trade deals or the freedom to have exactly the same workers and environmental rights we have now - seem very convincing somehow.Faisal Islam

£28m rough sleeper fund still unspent
A ministerial task force on rough sleeping will meet for the first time next week three months after it was set up.
A £28 million fund to provide accommodation for the homeless established at the same time has yet to distribute any money, officials admitted yesterday. Three pilot areas have been identified but no grants have been made.
Publicity surrounding the recent death of a rough sleeper in Westminster Tube station, within feet of parliament’s entrance, has focused attention on a rise in the numbers. The recent cold snap, which is thought to have contributed to the death of another man on Friday, has added to public concern.
Heather Wheeler, the minister responsible, said that the government would have a new strategy in place by July. A spokesman for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government defended the delay on the grounds that the priority had been to establish an independent panel including charity heads. That met for the first time on February 1.
Speaking in a debate on homelessness, Layla Moran, the Lib Dem MP, said: “Anyone who has visited a town centre recently will know that this is now at a crisis level; indeed, the public accounts committee concluded that it is a national crisis.”
