French Foreign Minister Jean-Noรซl Barrot,
"Let us say to our British friends"
"If they stand ready to return to the EU Single Market with all associated privileges and duties"
"They will be be met with open arms"
Sounds like a plan. Who's in?

Geat article.
An excellent event, all the speakers were very good. A lovely venue too.
What did you do on Monday, Matt? Well, I popped in through this front door to hear the #ChancellorOfTheExchequer Rachel Reeves talk about #Britainโs economy and #LabourValues! Nice!
The UK Labour government recently published its #FinancialInclusionStrategy to help those currently excluded from mainstream financial services. In WHD, I raised its importance for #Watford residents.
People in #Watford care about the environment and so as your MP, I was delighted to be part of this committee which has voted to ban plastics in baby wet wipes. Better for the environment, better for our sewage system and better for you.
Good turnout for our meeting with Matt Turmaine last night. We had a very interesting talk on whats happening in parliament.
At some point we might have to consider the fact that he might be mentally unstable.

I had to read this twice to believe it...Meloni, who ran for office on an anti-immigration platform, has now announced plans to let in hundreds of thousands of immigrants, in order to deal with the Italian labor shortage

With the amount of hate being drummed up on social media towards politicians this isn't surprising sadly.
Gordon Brown and Neil Kinnock both gave inspiring speaches last night.
I enjoyed your contribution to the progressive Britain conference. I'm sure no 10 will appreciate it.
I wish I could vote for anyone anti Trump. But I don't live in the US which doesn't seem too bad at present.
We regret the unjustified US 25% tariff on steel and aluminium imports.
The EU will protect its consumers and businesses.
We are launching swift, proportionate countermeasures worth up to โฌ26 billion, matching the economic impact of the US tariffs.

Tonight, I voted for the biggest upgrade to workersโ rights in a generation! Itโs time to #MakeWorkPay ๐๐ท
Very interesting. David Leonhardt wrote an article on Denmark in the New york Times which is worthwhile reading too.
Read the Death of competition article in todays New York Times if possible.
A band I saw many times inthe 70's. I remember the Nashville and a High Wycome pub in particular. Happy memories.
Happy No Kings Day to all.
Sadly we do have a large bag of Cosco Pistachios under the stairs ! but no Martin Lewis so far.
Did you pass the old mill ?
Not someone I like. But I try not to do the confirmation bias thing and stick to what I agree with. You need to understand the other side if you want to win in politics.
Definitely worth reading.
Plea from the @FT for a more ambitious reset of Britainโs relationship with the EU:
Wise words for Labour from my old boss on how a new customs deal with the EU would screw the Tories
I phoned my home insurance company to question the 36% increase in the policy and was told it was partly due to a lack of builders which increases rebuilding costs. Another Brexit benefit.
