Your Friday Brexit

Not much news to bring you this week, being that most politicians are having an extended break.

Labour Peer, Lord Adonis(!) resigned an infrastructure tzar post for the Government so he could be free to challenge the Government in the House of Lords, now that the once Great Repeal Bill be go there after being passed, with an amendment, by the HOC. He was subject to great abuse and death threats, which is always the way when a Brexit unbeliever makes their views public. How wonderful this is to see in the Democratic UK.

Tony Blair fronted a report on Thursday showing how just about every economic and trade body says what a jolly silly idea Brexit is, adn how much it has cost thus far, and how those costs will just increase. Of course, having Tony Blair speak up for something brings up the Iraq way and the WMD issue, which, in fairness, all of Fleet Street were fully behind him, but don't let facts get in the way of denouncing the Brexit unbeliever.

One of the main bonuses in Brexit seems to be the much heralded return of the "iconic" blue British passport. This fell apart when it was pointed out the last incarnation of the British passport was black, not blue. And anyway, it was a decision by one Margaret Thatcher to have a Burgundy passport, as EU rules don't stipulate a colour for passports. Indeed, Croatia's is blue. Iconic. And this week there was a storm in thimble over the fact that there will be a set of commemorative stamps for Game of Thrones, but not one for Brexit. As if anyone thought of it. Shows you really should not read the Sun, double so as Boris de Piffel Johnson now backs the stamp thing.

And today, it was announced that Nigel Farrage is to meet with Michael Barnier to have a nice chat about Brexit. Should be interesting as Farrage wants to put the point of view of the 37% who vted for Brexit of some kind, as he seems to think that the Government, most of Fleet Street and the media isn't enough. Should be interesting, as the EU leaks like a sieve. Barnier should just answer every question with "Brexit means Brexit" and "What did you think would happen?" and finally, Brexit will happen on 29th March 2019. What is there to argue about?

I am sure next week there will be more reality, more Brexiteer screaming that things are not fair. And it will be like this until the end of the year.

And we are a week nearer the fall of the May Government. And a day nearer when Labour actually decides on a stance on Brexit. No hurry, guys.
