This. Exactly this.

Hey derek guy have you heard of the brand Community Clothing? I think you’d you’d really like their ethos. They are creating well-paid manufacturing jobs in places which need it badly, often in factory downtime. No seasons. They just make what they make and do it well

Ken Clarke - a giant surrounded by pygmies. Telling the truth about big issues. Which is what leadership is about x.com/profcarycooper…

Ersatz Brexit. Blue passports. No MEPs. No influence. Everything else continues as normal. A mass surrendering of power and influence to placate a few million racists and Peter Bone. #FaxDemocracy

I assume now, that in the interests of being the same as the rest of the UK, the DUP will be leading call for other differences to be ironed out (eg same sex marriage, abortion)

David Allen Green: It now seems that the 'no Brexit' or 'no deal Brexit' scenarios are far less likely on.ft.com/2y7NvHS

Things I predict will happen when I name my most significant harasser in my discipline, not necessarily in chronological order:

Spare a thought for poor Nigel. This sad man is stuck in his multimillion pound townhouse after 18 years trapped on a Brussels gravy train he hates with just a £73,000 EU pension to keep him from penury in the future

A far right man kills an MP. 2 rightwing papers publish headlines that are cited in death threats to MPs, + headline sneers at Abbott's appearance + compares migrants to cockroaches & rats. But Chris Grayling says hate is the left's fault (& BBC gives him space to do it) x.com/bbcnewsnight/s…

Daily Mail correction of the week thepoke.co.uk/2017/12/20/dai…

David Davis lies about impact studies, Green lies about his porn, Fallon admits harassment, Stephen Crabb sends ‘explicit’ messages to a 19 yr old & lies, Mark Garnier calls his secretary ‘sugar tits’. All keep Tory whip. Heseltine tells truth about Brexit & must lose the whip

Quick reminder that today Chris Chope MP, who steered through Poll Tax, called for minimum wage to be abolished, voted against same sex marriage and the Turing pardon, and opposed domestic violence legislation was awarded a knighthood. But sure, carry on moaning about Nick Clegg.
