Getting my elderly mother a subscription to Private Eye last Christmas 'because I know you like Ian Hislop on TV' has been way more effective at reducing her right-wing rants than several years of effort by me & my siblings. Cheers Ian

A healthy dose of “Papers, please” and (rather horrible, not keen on it even if I were still an EU citizen) criminal-like fingerprinting would hopefully make Leavers either explode in a logic conundrum or have a very long think about what’s really the best for them, their children and grandchildren…

Hmm, maybe, but it still seems to be too much like cherry-picking, which, quite rightly, the EU hasn’t got the inclination nor time for. Still, it’s all hopefully small steps in the right direction. For proper Single Market alignment, we really should (all) have our #FreedomOfMovement back too! 🤞

Or we could implement such rules after influencing how they are developed through our MEPs… Oh. 🤦‍♂️

(Guess what, that’s exactly what we did, back when we were a sensible country; very nearly all EU Directives were formulated w/ full UK input, negotiation and agreement: no “imposed by Brussels” lies.)

Addressing the House of Commons today, Sir Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said we must have "a closer economic relationship with our European allies because Brexit did deep damage to the economy". Now, these words need to be matched with a clear, concrete plan.

Family spends £1,600 to get home after easyJet flight leaves without them due to EES chaos.

Of the 156 passengers booked on easyJet flight from Milan to Manchester, only 34 boarded.

The Independent, 13 April.

Family spends £1,600 to get home after easyJet flight leaves without them due to EES chaos. Of the 156 passengers booked on easyJet flight from Milan to Manchester, only 34 boarded. The Independent, 13 April.

Alongside these unexpected costs, it has also been reported that on one occasion, no-one had arrived at the departure gate at the time it was meant to close for a flight.

There's a simple solution to this: rejoin the single market, and restore freedom of movement.

Oh, FGS -

@politico.com is taking sponsorship money from Palantir - running their ads through news updates.

That's absolutely the *last* thing we need in our politics, Palantir going straight for the political-media environment at a time when we need massive scrutiny of their contracts in the UK.

I assume they meant anglo as short for anglophone/anglosphere (character limits and all that), not that most Aussies are descended from “whinging Poms” (although a lot of them actually are).

Even more ridiculous is how little coverage news from elsewhere in Europe gets: our nearest neighbours + physically closest trading partners + until that stupid thing literally fellow citizens in a (mostly) happy continent-wide union… Poor coverage begets ignorance begot Brexit. Well done UK media 🤦‍♂️

Maybe the reason why there are so many potholes isn't because the council aren't doing their job, but because so many of you selfish pricks are driving round in 3 ton SUVs

I should definitely pop by the shop sometime for a nosey, although sadly recumbents are beyond my own more meagre budget - but it’s great that there is a good market for them!

I was half joking about the mudguards, knowing they were a “standard omission”, but just thinking you would get a bit mucky in our weather without any! 😉

I didn’t spot the under-seat handlebars and had thought the thing in front was maybe a riser but with bars not yet attached, mid-assembly. Oops!

Duh, right enough! Although it looks like there could maybe be some sort of high tech transmission wizardry going on?

There don’t seem to be any handlebars or other steerer anywhere?

(I’d also say: “Nae mudguards?” 😨)

I somehow forgot to call a press conference to announce that we lost a council seat on our flagship Kent Council. I missed an opportunity to brag about how our councillor was sent to prison, we found no savings and put council tax up by 3.99%.

SUVs are making Britain’s potholes worse, say scientists Engineers link reduced lifespan of roads to shift to heavier cars, some bought to navigate damaged surfaces

We should address the source of the problem - by massively reducing traffic and by discouraging or banning heavy SUVs

There are definitely sponsorship opportunities going lacking there: Tunnock’s parachutes, Blackpool rock solid rocket boosters, Pringles tube launch rocket core stage, Andrex techno-potty, etc… 🤔
