The news from the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that there will be no trade deal with the UK if the Good Friday Agreement is compromised is a devastating blow to the whole Johnson government’s unreal no deal Brexit strategy. Any kind of border that is a border in law, will breach the GFA, meaning there […]
Yes it is. And it may not be a bad thing. First we have to look at the Brexit situation, now polarised between only two realistic options. A No Deal Brexit, or recalling Article 50. The quagmire in the middle, with all its threads, nuances and grandstanders, has been trampled out of realistic existence. Negotiating […]
According to the Sunday Times, the Queen is fed up with what she calls the inability of today’s political class to govern. There is a widespread consensus in the country for this disquiet. Moreover this is not an accidental leak. It is a nuanced reprimand coming on top of news that efforts are being made […]
Reports that Boris ‘will not resign as Prime Minister’ if he loses a vote of confidence are astonishing. His hit men in Downing Street are putting the idea about that he does not have to resign and can instead hang on to power by calling a general election after he pushes through a No Deal […]

His detailed account not […]
As expected there is a Boris bounce to give the Tories between two and five point leads in various opinion polls. This would not, with the Lib Dems, Brexit Party and Greens in play, give him a majority in parliament. Almost more significant, any other leader than Corbyn would give Labour a major lead and […]
Since the Tories formed their own majority administration in 2015, they have given the country the worst period of fumbling, bumbling, government in modern times and perhaps ever in its democratic history. There is now something approaching national despair at the spectacle of every public service malfunctioning at some level, humiliations on the international stage, […]
