Apparently, the Liberal Democrats think that this is an accolade!

David Davis Plans The Arguments Ahead

David Davis is looking ahead to Brexit negotiations and, having rejected the timetable proposed by Brussels, has drawn up a schedule of when he wants certain "arguments" to take place.

The result being that the first argument will be one about what to argue about!

What with the general election etc, a cynic might wonder if the government is trying to avoid Brexit negotiations.

Surely not!?

That aside, Davis did make one valid point; namely that there would be little progress in Brexit negotiations during the summer months, as it was the “least useful time in dealing with Brussels”.
 

Is David Davis Now Unsackable?

Brexit minister David Davis said that European Union leaders in Brussels were trying to get him sacked, after critical accounts of a meeting between British and EU negotiators were leaked to media.

As per Reuters:

“All these stories are briefing against me trying to get me sacked - which of course is a compliment.

If they don’t want me across the table, there is a reason for that – it is in Britain’s interests, not theirs.”

A cynic might suggest that this is an attempt by Davis to make himself unsackable....but only a cynic would think such things!

France Bans Le Fake News En Anglais

I love the Academie Francaise's po-faced attempts to eradicate Anglicisms from the French language. Le fake news.https://t.co/BwXIWM4CA0

Perhaps there'll be a post-Brexit version set up to make English more English. The Office of WE SPEAK ENGLISH HERE, MATE.

Happy Europe Day!

Despite sniping from certain elderly drunken dinner guests from Brussels, the British are well mannered enough to fly the flags of the nation states who belong to the EU today in Parliament Square (next to the mother of all parliaments).

Happy Europe Day!
