This is an old article about Boris Johnson, but feels relevant.

When a car plant here suffers redundancies, or manufacturing slows, people blame Brexit (as if slow downs or redundancies in manufacturing have never happened before.

Who / what do the Germans blame for shrinking industrial output ? They dominate the 'world's biggest market' - what's going on ?

UK position stronger by the day. Uplands, here we come

That’s possibly the best post you’ve ever made Aaron.

You can read this one just by giving them your email address though.

Chuka Umunna has joined the Lib Dems to much joy in left wing circles.

This is genuinely fascinating and compelling. New polling data shows a large majority of us are now Brexit ‘purists’, who support either Remain or No-Deal and won’t have it any other way. And that means big trouble for the two main parties

78% of us favour either Remain or No Deal. Just 22% prefer a compromise option of May’s deal or soft Brexit. The 78% really care about it - and will do so at any general election.

This is amusing from the other day

"The Tory Party has entered its post-shame phase, and in Boris Johnson, it has found its Messiah.

Britain has never lowered itself to anything like this before. It was one of the worst mornings in British political history.

Sketch here.

Extraordinary polarisation going on between Leave and Remain vote, according to today's YouGov.

Voting intention (2016 Leave voters)

Brexit 56
Con 23
Lab 10
LD 3
Grn 3
SNP 2
UKIP 1

Voting Intention (2016 Remain voters)

LD 38
Lab 28
Con 12
Grn 12
SNP 6
Brexit 2

Next GE could be very very hung
