The choice is either staying in a nice cosy room or walking outside and facing the full force of reality smashing into you hard. I'm sure there's always time for one more loyal toast for Prince Charles' birthday.

Yeah that's the visa points thing, you can still go on holiday and do meetings and shit with no visa, but you'll need one to live here.

I'd write to her about this, but I only wrote to her about a final say referendum last week and still have a letter from early October awaiting reply. Ghosting is rude, people.

Admittedly, this is probably partly my fault. I did ask her to explain how we would benefit from not being able to travel/work/live freely in 27 other countries as opposed to how things work now. But I'm sure Mrs May wouldn't be talking about it so much if she didn't think it would an improvement on the current situation.

Was it a physical letter you sent? If so it's probably Myp's fault.

Email, using 'writetothem.com'. It lacks a green ink option.

I much prefer sending and receiving letters, but the only stationary I have in stock is a set of Christmas cards and a couple of 'Visit Oxford' postcards.

So Dominic Raab's job for the last X months has been to get this deal, but now it's been got, he can't support it. That's just a little odd, you would have thought he would have made sure it was a deal he could support as he was striking it, no?

At the time of writing, Michael Gove is the only big name star Tory Brexithugger still in office.

Seems like the early hours of 24th June 2016 were the high point of the whole anti-EU movement.

If I were the Prime Minister, I'd storm to the Commons and just denouce all of them. 'Guilty Men', as those who are fond of WW2 references might put it.
