I think you might call this 'reverse profiling'. They've identified the type of people who normally engage in the activity, then picked a suite of *the opposite* characteristics (except perhaps sex) to represent them. It's classic system of diversity, manufacturing a new victim

Background here notable - the exposed rafters, the obviously spacious home, the tapestry. I approve of all of these things, this isn't an anti-upper middle class point, but it does highlight that Grieve is a classic Cotswoldist, i.e. a nominal conservative who has made his pile &

I increasingly suspect the NHS is going to go similar to UK EU membership. For decades folk like me propose moderate-but-significant reforms that maintain the core. We're ignored. So eventually patience is lost & the whole thing is thrown out & we start again.

Reading the speech, I despair that the Cabinet Office and this minister still cannot understand basic concepts around sovereignty, or the differences between treaties involving mutual recognition or one-sided full alignment.

That remains to be seen, and their associations may also have a word to say about it. I doubt few would be that tin eared and politically suicidal. It was certainly a powerful reason for including it in the leadership manifesto, and thus short sighted not to have done so.

This is quite fascinating and worth the time. I've seen slighted mediaeval castles with less end damage than the subjects of this cool and level-headed review.

It seems to have been completely forgotten today, but did you know there was a Parliamentary debate on establishing a federal Europe, in February 1945? It was down to a motion put down by Labour backbencher the Earl of Huntingdon, and it's worth a short thread.

Planning to withdraw does not preclude others trying to radically reform it. Fill your boots. We'll just be prepped for when you embarrassingly fail.

Once again, not seeing here the option of a bill clause simply asserting that, in the context of acts and agreements referencing the ECHR, such obligations are sustained by longstanding provisions in domestic law. Then see if either the EU or Dublin want that argument.

The logical end state is to hive off "control personnel, give policy advice to the PM, interfere in ministerial responsibility" to fresh entities/people, either instantly or by diffusion over time. Whitehall career progression also needs to reward specialism (cf Army's changes).

It’s garbage – the Dublin agreement didn’t work; small boats were discovered after better scanning of lorries, nothing to do with Brexit
