If Brandon gets caught breaking International law they can take away his diet of Lard as a punishment.

I read a piece yesterday saying stop referring to this government as inept or useless or incompetent.

Use the correct words.

Utterly corrupt.

Suella Braverman and Liz Truss, down the Slug and Lettuce on friday after leaving the Number Ten typing pool. Meet up with Isobel Oakeshott. Bit of Karaoke, Mohito, Margueritas, Long slow screws up against the wall, snog with Dom, sick up in the bathroom, leave it.......what's not to like about Brexit?

Those for adjectives are not mutually exclusive.

It is both corrupt and incompetent, and also heartless.

Seems quite competent at the corruption.

The signs were there. This has been deliberate all along. This is a govt with no moral compass.

And in related news, yes we are agreeing to tighter state aid restrictions with Japan than the EU are demanding:

That's not what the article says. It says that we have agreed tighter restrictions with Japan than we are proposing to the EU. The EU wants to continue its even tighter restrictions.

It's still pretty bad and it undermines our negotiations with the EU. I think they are probably pissing themselves laughing.

My lawyer tells me I only need to go to prison if I break the law in a way that I find unacceptable. This is great.

Who is this new Ed Milliband?

He obviously came to leadership too early.

Surely there were similar problems except EU wide when we were in the EU single market.

Possible: given that Gove et al could reasonably be described as Muppets.

Seen elsewhere:

Brexit was supposed to turn the UK into an economic Superman, but all we have ended up with is more clerks in Kent.

Like that: I do hope the residents of Kent, the majority of whom voted for both this madness and the Tories, won't moan too loudly when their county turns into a lorry park. They may think they have 'taken back control' even if getting around becomes a bit more problematic.

I also hope the residents of the counties bordering Kent, through which lorries bound for the ferry-ports travel, are suitably sanguine as regards the alleged benefits of Brexit when they too become gridlocked.

Unlikely to happen: Kent is plenty big enough to park all the lorries in. You might not even need to tarmac all of it.
