And it was a very, very stupid (and desperate) idea.'
The word 'desperate' is featuring more and more in describing the Remain side's antics. This incident really does show how contemptible they are, dragging the royals in.
But what does the man on the Clapham omnibus think of Will's position on our membership of the EU? What appears to the politically engaged as desperate behaviour may not even register with most voters. I truly hope they see through Project Fear.
The thinking is that:
(1) Shit, this is serious; we might lose this (2) The media are being so unfair to us (3) Clearly, it's mainly the ignorant plebs that want to vote Leave (4) We know they're dumb C2s/Ds and Es (5) But they aren't engaged by news, and normal politics and politicians (6) So, how can we get through to them? (7) Ah, they do like celebrity magazines and gossip, and they love Wills and Kate (8) So we'll get Wills to dogwhistle for Remain. Simples!
It's so transparent it isn't even there.
The point of the activate-the-queen strategy is surely to appeal to core Conservative voters i.e. older southern and wealthy, not apathetic C2DE who won't vote!
I'm not holding my breath, but I'm interested to see what Liz Truss and Justine Greening do over the weekend too.
Not much has been written about them.
Truss is 100% REMAIN.
I'm on Truss at 100/1 to be Dave's successor.
I cannot see a path to her becoming leader. That is assuming that we vote to remain in the EU, Osborne is one of the two candidates and Truss backs REMAIN.
The evidence is mixed, and given the evidence of welching to date by eurosceptics, I too am sceptical, but I've heard very little from her and also heard she is her own woman:

As TSE says, she is coming..
Right, must hit the sack. Night all.
I suppose the master strategy is to goad one of the more passionate Leavers into insulting The Queen. That will not go down well.
You can imagine Godfrey Bloom saying something outrageous.

FPT @MP SE - the timing was no accident, neither was the choice of words, or the location, or the fact he delivered a speech in the Foreign Office at a very politically charged time with Philip Hammond.

Her Majesty will be wheeled out just like she was in the Indyref
I think you're right.
I don't know what you think, but I really don't agree with the monarchy being politicised like this.
For the record, I didn't like it during the indyref either where I was on "her" side.
If I were Her Majesty, I would have done a quid pro quo with Dave.
She should have said 'Dave, I'll back remain if as part of your deal you get the frogs to honour the Treaty of Troyes, or I'm backing Brexit'
But yes her Majesty should not be involved.
What happens if one of her successors is more like her uncle and is in fact a Nazi loving racist and endorses the BNP?

Don't you mean Mountbatten?
None of that Europhile cake dictatorship here!
It was the first visually distinctive cake I could think of. A fine place to start cake identification: start with the obvious, then work up thru many delicious sponges, thence to fairy cakes, with advanced courses and more challenging supplements, and a brief divertissement to the Jaffa Cake conundrum.

The Sovereign should stay politically neutral. At least in the IndyRef that was about the possible break-up of her kingdom.
HMQ has no role in relation to the EU.
Bloody silly of the Royals to let themselves be used in this way. Cameron has said he is going. Saving his face is not what this referendum is about nor what the Royal Family exists for.
And he's panicking unnecessarily - if indeed he is panicking. Remain will probably comfortably win without all this hysteria about jungle camps and the like.
And if Cameron loses, why does it matter? He's a rich man, and all the jobs he'll pick up after having been PM will make him richer.

The Constitution in the USA is treated with a reverence similar to holy text handed down from above, and that includes its deliberate checks and balances between the 3 arms of government: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. Messing with the system and precedent would be near blasphemous.

No, the constitution makes no reference to the number of them.
The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Yep, they could amend it, or the Senate just keep blocking any nominee to keep it at eight.

No, you've got to ease people in to Jaffa Cake. Best to do Black Forest gateau/cake first, to get people used to the cake/not cake problem.
Jaffas are not cakes though it's a biscuit..

Surely this is an issue of taxation? Biscuits carry VAT but cakes do not.
The risen nature of the base makes them a cake, biscuits do not rise.
IIRC the key argument was that biscuits go soft when they go stale, whereas cakes go hard.

FPT @MP SE - the timing was no accident, neither was the choice of words, or the location, or the fact he delivered a speech in the Foreign Office at a very politically charged time with Philip Hammond.
This was an absolutely intentional, and planned, intervention - with some plausible deniability designed in by deliberately omitting the words "EU" and "Europe".
And it was a very, very stupid (and desperate) idea.

Every other whitey should live with mass immigration except for them.
If recent polls are anything to go by, Labour may now be more popular in England than they are in either Wales or Scotland for the first time in their history. Interesting thought to ponder...
Separately, I suspect this is being grossly overanalysed - it was a throw away response to a question when she was promoting her latest film in Berlin - hardly a carefully crafted policy position......
I've never heard Kevin Foster say he'd prefer to be out of Europe. Or seen him write to that effect.
2013: “The issue of whether Britain continues its membership of the European Union is one that will define not just political debate, but our economic future as well. Like many voters I was not even born when the last European Referendum took place in 1975 and anyone born after the 6th June 1957 could not vote in it. The last vote decided this issue for a generation and regardless of outcome one held now would do the same.”
I see the Labour run Welsh assembly are doing the same wonders for their schools as they are for the Welsh NHS
" A Generation of school buildings have leaking roofs, poor windows and cold cramped classrooms, a head teacher has said, blaming the Welsh government"
BBC Can't quite bring themselves to say Labour run of course , like they always say Tory run.
The Times is surprised that the mortality rate is increasing. They don't seem to have noticed that the oldest Baby Boomers have just turned 70 and therefore it's exactly what you would expect.

So Hilary doesn't have a monopoly on stupid when it comes to IT then? Really basic stuff they screw up, did they not see the hundreds of renewal emails that would have been sent before it expired?
Did someone mention the eternal debate between cakes and biscuits?
A few days ago I was tidying up in the kitchen. At the back of the cupboard are a few empty biscuit tins (the fancy sort which have selections, the sort of thing that people give to people for Christmas when they can't think of anything else). I noticed that one of the tins was heavier than it looked, and upon opening it I discovered that it still had a few biscuits in it. Most of them had nuts in (explaining why I had not eaten them) but there was one normal biscuit with chocolate on it. It felt and looked normal, with no sign of mould or damp, so I ate it. It felt and tasted perfectly normal, without being excessively hard or soft.
I reckon the tin (with biscuits still in it) must have been there for at least a decade.
Interestingly I've just noticed that their is no constitutional limit on the number of Supreme Court justices. What's to stop the Republican Congress from amending the number of justices to 8 and hence prevent Obama from nominating anyone?
For the last 24 years I have always thought that Boutros Boutros-Ghali was a slightly silly name, but in the Daily Telegraph obituary of the said BooBoo is another one

Obama can nominate whoever he wants - the Senate committee will determine if he / she are qualified, and may or may not vote to forward to the whole Senate for an up or down vote. There is no constitutional timescale for this.
In a press conference today from Rancho Mirage CA Obama said that the Senate should approve whoever he nominates if they are judged qualified, regardless of their political views.
In 2006, Sen. Obama filibustered the nomination of Alito to the Supreme Court.
He voted against Justice Roberts being confirmed as Chief Justice because he didn't like his political views.
The Republican suggestion that the next POTUS should nominate the Scalia replacement has got the Democrats wailing and gnashing their teeth.
In fact it's the Schumer Doctrine. In July 2007 Sen Schumer suggested that if a Supreme Court vacancy became available during the last 18 months of the Bush administration it should be left to the next administration.

EU deal: David Cameron faces assault on multiple fronts in Brussels all-nighter European leaders hope to whittle away at David Cameron's deal, then contain the 'contagion' of reform, during gruelling talks expected to last until dawn
The document shows that Belgium fears a “risk of contagion”, and complains that the UK has called only for Brussels to lose, rather than gain, powers under the principle of subsidiarity.
Reform, fixing problems, improving processes etc... its a contagion that needs to be contained.
