My bullshit detector has gone off the scale.

Some brief headlines in the world of weekend Brexit.

Brexiteers now openly stating that the UK becoming the 51 State of the US is somehow compatible with claiming that being in the is a vassal state, whereas being in the US wouldn't!

Johnson calls on Trump to help UK firms. Hello, earth calling Johnson. Protectionism???

THe Express claims a US-UK trade deal "is done", but I am willing to be a large sum of money that the Express neither knows or cares what a real FTA is. An agreement on something icluding parts of trade might be being discssed, doesn't mean this is good news for the UK, its people or businesses.

But, hey, headlines.

The Sunday Mail claims that the UK will try to withhold £30 billion of the financial settlement. This will not be legal or a good idea, but hey, headlines.

The Observer claims that Johnson is looking into the legality of suspending Parliament for five weeks through October to allow the A50 clock to tick down.

This will also not end well.

The batshit stuff gets crazier as the clock ticks down.

We start the Brexit emergency foodstore again next week.
