With Rachel Reeves in Brussels today as part of the UK's "Reset Charm Offensive" I thought I'd repost my Sunday Scribbling from yesterday. Should have called it: "Red lines in the sunset, no reset on the way" so she's wasting her time in Brussels today. hayest.substack.com/p/sunday-scrib…

I wish pols would stop wearing these hi-viz jackets when doing interviews. Do they think it makes them look more authentic? Need to wear them on-site? Fine. Just take them off for the interview.

In this week's Sunday Scribblings, I offer a few thoughts on politics in France where I live. nothing profound, just the way things seem to me. hayest.substack.com/p/sunday-scrib…

Frost and Patel can rant all they want but they are in Opposition and there is nothing they can do about it if this is what the gov decides. The days when Brexiters ruled the roost are over. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

I see the Sun wants to restart the "Brexit Wars". I think it will find that there are not many Labour MPs who are willing to jump into the trenches with it, and ex-Tory MPs don't count. Actually, neither do current Tory MPs. They are in Opposition. thesun.co.uk/news/32343121/…

Might as well call it for what it is.

In this week’s Scribblings, I ask if Brexit has gone any way to restoring British “grandeur” in the world. My answer will come as no surprise. open.substack.com/pub/hayest/p/s…

I don't post here anymore, but I thought I would post this as the owner of this site is largely responsible for this nonsense. hayest.substack.com/p/sunday-scrib…

In this week’s Scribbling, I ask the question: Does the “madman” theory of negotiations work? Only if you are an 800-pound orangutan. Which most of us are not. hayest.substack.com/p/sunday-scrib…

Are we heading for a world in which there will be a lot fewer people? That looks like being the case, something I discuss in this week’s Scribblings. hayest.substack.com/p/sunday-scrib…

In today’s Sunday Scribblings, some comments on UK labour relations, triggered by the passing this week of the former UK Tory cabinet minister, Norman Tebbit. hayest.substack.com/p/sunday-scrib…

In this week’s Scribblings, some thoughts on people doing stupid things at work, both employers and employees. hayest.substack.com/p/sunday-scrib…

I plan to take an August break, but first, some more thoughts on the “Coldplay Couple" in this week’s Sunday Scribblings. hayest.substack.com/p/sunday-scrib…

I had planned to take a break after last Sunday’s Scribbling, but felt the need to write something about the alleged EU/US trade deal. After this, I will take a break. hayest.substack.com/p/saturday-scr…
