The long arm of the law

Today, the case of VoteLeave, and it's founder and supposed founder, Aaron Banks, of where their and his finding came from was referred to the National Crime Agency as it turned out friend of Nigel Farrage and on Donald J Trump could not prove where the cash, £8 million, came from.

Of course he is painting this as a politically motivated campaign to undermine the referendum, but then if the money was obtained, from, Oh I don't know, say Russia, then does that just about destroy the referendum's legitimacy? What with the lies, refusal to accept facts and forecasts from experts in their fields?

My neighbour, Di, voted Leave, but now is having deep concerns of the incompetence of those tasked with delivering Brexit, and what was going to happen to Dover if there was a no deal. I did sympathise, but tose were my fears before the vote, she does not know what to do, not that there is much she can do. But I pointed out that Jools and my plan to retire was based on the stock market and housing market and if both were to crash then we would have to carry on working, if there were jobs to do of course.

Earlier in the week, Dominic Raab stated before a subcommittee that a deal would be done by 23rd November. Which is all well and good, but rather undermind when his own department issued a clarification yesterday evening that this was not the case after all.

Oh dear.

And it seems that all the EU want the UK to do to have that elusive WA is to honour the commitments they already made in December and March to the sufficient progress statement. Nothing else. But that involves some difficult political manoeuvres, and she is like a King in chess, in mate wherever the piece moves. She keeps moving back and forth, but always into another trap caused by her own red lines, party or the DUP.

In order to protect the DUP, the Government is stalling on allowing an investigation as to where the DUP got nearly half a million pounds to fund an anti-Brexit ad. In London.

The car-crash that is Brexit is continuing, but it seems that one way or another, things are coming together and next week likely is to be where everything comes in a pincer movement. Every week it looks like May will be toppled, but survives mainly because there is no viable alternative.

Sadly, the opposition is noticeable by its absence, and has so far failed to comment on Aaron Banks and his referral.

And finally news just on: Nigel Farrage being actively investigated by the FBI for unspecified crimes. COuldn't happen to a more deserving person.
