On rejoining the EU, or the single market, or a customs union. There is little chance Europe would accept us back until Farage is finally and definitively defanged in British politics. It’s all too risky and divisive

Leeds stun Manchester United after Okafor double and Martínez red card for hair-pull
Leeds claimed a precious victory that takes them six points clear of Tottenham whose plight darkens further after Daniel Farke’s men pulled off a first league win at Old Trafford since February 1981 and in the process inflicted a first home defeat for Michael Carrick as Manchester United interim manager. His team lacked control throughout, a state not aided by Lisandro Martínez’s silly 56th-minute red card for yanking Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s ponytail, and he is now suspended for three matches.

Until 1979 when Margaret Thatcher took over, Water, Energy, Rail and Mail were some of the cheapest and best run services in the entire world. Then suddenly she said we can't afford them because she wanted to privatise them and they began to fail. What a strange coincidence.
