"Relations with Japan have soured"

It seems that Liam Fox calling the whole of Japan "fat and lazy" has not gone too well with the people the other side of the negotiating table.

Who'd have thunk it?

It is also reported that the Japanese delegation were confused by the UK's "tactics", maybe that's because the UK has none?

In the meantime, a Commons Select Committee published a report on fake news and the role of the two vote leave campaigns and Facebook.

One thing I have not covered much is the fact that both Leave campaigns broke electoral law, the the extent that if it had been an election rather than a referendum, the result would have been declared void. This is not just breaking rules, this was broken law. Now the fact that electoral law is weak on referendums, but strong on elections, to the point that despite breaking law and a file being sent to the police for possible individual prosecutions, and no one, not the PM or her party, Labour or the press say anything about it, like it doesn't really matter.

A file has sat with the police for over nine months, and have done nothing.

The report from the Select Committee is scathing of the two leaders of Vote.Leave, who they said have a passing relationship with the truth.

And Facebook were subject to a massive data breach from Cambridge Analytica, stealing members details to target fake news posts. And no one does anything about this either. In a referendum that is swung by 4%, a ten percent overspend which broke law and illegal date breach and use, and apparently this referendum represents "the will of the people" and cannot be challenged.

It is apparently in the political classes interest for Brexit to happen, no matter what, no matter how the result was obtained, the law broken, data stolen and lies told, but this has to happen. And the PM, Corbyn and the leader of Unite, Len McClusky all say that Brexit must still happen.

We are trapped in some kind of ten circle of hell.

And there are 39 days left to go.
