Theresa May is about to force through an avalanche of new Brexit laws

Concerns particularly around financial services:

"I am deeply concerned by the significant nature of the legislation passing through delegated legislation committees relating to financial services," Shadow Treasury Minister Anneliese Dodds told BI.

"This legislation is passing through regulatory procedures that were not designed for changes of this magnitude."

I have been wondering what the special place in hell looks like for those who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan to deliver it safely.

Donald Tusk.

I've been wondering what that special place in hell looks like, for those who promoted #Brexit, without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it out safely.

David Lidington V Emily Thornberry for PMQs.

Lidington already breaking convention, by answering a direct question with a direct answer.

Do you have anyone in particular in mind?

[AnatolyKasparov]

Not you so much actually

In other news, good riddance to John Humphrys - shame we still have to wait a few months.

[Willow904]

I know you didn't mean me. I was wondering who you did mean.

[AnatolyKasparov]

Well one of them has just posted upthread with an explanation

[Willow904]

Ah...

Something about coffee and keyboards if I remember correctly. Yes its good to see adam back.

[RogerOThornhill]

And right on cue, Sammy Wilson provides yet more evidence that he is a complete moron...

Speaking of morons, Wes Streetling might have gotten himself in trouble with the police.

I haven't edited and posted a picture on my tablet before, so I thought I'd give it a go to see if I could.

Why not Corbyn and May today at PMQs?

[AnatolyKasparov]

Why not Corbyn and May today at PMQs?

May is otherwise engaged (again)?

I did note you didn't say goodnight yesterday btw, I hope my comment didn't put you off

@Willow904

Thanks. And well done - it's beyond my limited capabilities!

Not a bit
I ran late in the evening missing an engagement. I was forgiven but hard on myself requiring quiet reflection on my own.

NEW: Just been told that Brandon Lewis has dropped out of addressing the 1922 backbench committee with just 15 minutes notice. MP tells me that they were planning to give him a hard time about a possible snap election.....

Being honest about the reality of Brexit can result in UK press taking truth-tellers apart
I think I understand better how perilous opposing Brexit can be

Gotta love this from a Tory MP who manages to deliberately misinterpret Tusk's point...check out the replies.

And it's Leavers who ought to feel angry too at their so-called leaders.

Remember that picture of Gove and Johnson looking sheepish after the result - they knew'd get found out eventually.

Another example of what a charming human being May is..... not.
https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2019/02/t ... mprisoned/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

as a result of a provision in the Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Police Act 2014, introduced by the then-Home Secretary Theresa May, compensation is no longer payable to victims of a miscarriage of justice, unless they can show ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ that they are innocent. In other words, in this area, they are still presumed guilty even though their convictions have been quashed. The existing rules for compensating such victims were already extremely onerous; this new rule meant that almost nobody, in practice, would ever be compensated.

Burning injustices.

Goodnight, everyone
