Some of these people seem to be gagging for the whole thing to fall apart just so the "drama" can keep going.
"The UK will deport EU citizens after Brexit if they do not apply for the right to remain in time, Home Office minister Brandon Lewis says.
He told a German newspaper they would have to leave even if they met all the criteria for a residency permit."

The indictment of the Giuliani associates today is significant:

They are closely tied to Trump, as their lawyer's own words show:

Advisers to the prime minister have this week been canvassing support from business leaders for an open letter arguing that the uncertainty over Brexit “needs to end”.
Sources said “a substantial number” of Britain’s most prominent companies had been contacted during the last week to gauge their interest in signing the letter.
But they warned that it might not be published because of executives’ reluctance to back its contents amid concerns about its “overtly political” message.

Indeed. As would Labour.
The old upright Panasonic was the best. My Henry was pretty good for years but it too broke down. I've had a Miele which now needs repair.
Basically there is little point spending any money on all these fancy bits of equipment, including kettles or toasters, because they all break down after a bit. Trying to find a repair shop is a bit of an endeavour. If we want to stop filling the land or the oceans with rubbish, reinstating the concept of repair shops / services would be a start. As well as building things that last.
I have recently taken to using a sharp handheld brush on my carpeted stairs. Works just as well and gives my arms a workout at the same time.
Anyway that's enough household tips for now.
Has bloody Brexit finally been solved? Or are we being led to the top of the hill by the Duke of York only to be led straight down again?
That’s after Barnier and Barclay meet in the morning .
As for electrical repairs - our Kenwood mixer has broken down after 15 years. Taking it to be repaired they said cheaper to get a new one (motor has gone and that's £120 to replace with other bits on top).
Full disclosure: on at 33/1
Any remaining ambiguities must be replaced with a legal draft for an international treaty, subject to the Vienna Convention, to be examined and approved by the General Affairs Council on friday, to then be conveyed to the European Council next week.
The time for dithering is finally up.
Everywhere I went in the US, people told me how awful DC was and not to bother. Yet it's a lot more liveable than most US cities - think St John's Wood meets Milan.
Anyway, I like doing my own cleaning or getting my children to do it. One of them is going all Marie Kondo on me with the kitchen tea towels. And I enjoy life fine. I just hate the idea of buying stuff which breaks down and has to be thrown away.
You are talking to possibly the last woman in London who has repeatedly had her video recorder repaired and still has it, attached to a TV, waiting for the time when I will have the time to watch all those videos I patiently recorded over the years.
When I bought all of the kitchen appliances when me and Wor Lass set up home they threw in a kettle and toaster for free. 25 years later the toaster was still going strong, and when we sold our flat the buyer asked us to leave it as part of the deal, which we did.
I should have asked for an extra twenty quid!
Edit. I see RPJS below has already pointed this out.
Shame we couldn't have had his dad, or sister or brother as PM instead.
I long ago eliminated all shirts from my wardrobe to avoid just this sort of tedious activity. Anything else hung on a washing line in a bit of a breeze is ironed enough for me.
But I do love a well made bed.
The issue is the time taken for the legislation. I think a technical extension would be needed .
If MPs agree to pass the deal they should amend this to include that extension which the EU will be happy to agree with .
This could be set before the general election.
Johnson’s obsession with the 31 October shouldn’t be allowed to avoid proper scrutiny of the legislation, a few weeks more is no big deal.
1. Lie in
2. Save on train fare
3. No need to iron a shirt
This repulsive betrayal corrodes Trump’s base in a very unique way. It could finish him. Let’s hope so.
I don't think they'll have a lot of choice. The "base" will be furious that Trump has been ejected, and they will want someone close to him.
Indeed, Pence would be perfect for Senate Republicans - he'll been seen as continuing Trump's legact but being sufficiently malleable.
Not only that but don't forget that the RNC has severely limited the Primary process in 2020. Picking someone other than the President will be tough.
Anyway, they will all be a footnote in history when Boris gets a deal through.
I know that. But the talks didn't start this morning. Rory has been very close to David Gauke, who was one of his supporters, and for whom Rory worked. He would seem a natural fit for this sort of grouping.
I’m guessing hardcore Corbynites, who don’t care about Brexit. Any others? Any ultra Remainers who still prefer Remain, even at the risk of No Deal? Or maybe some BXPers?
4. Can have a proper lunch.
5. Listen to music or radio while working.
6. Peace and quiet.
7. Can work in garden on sunny days.
I’ll bow to your superior knowledge
