All this 'well you've forgotten to ask the EU, you won't get your previous deal you know' commentary is so boring and theatrically dispassionate. Everyone knows that.

In some ways, the BBC is facing the same existential crisis that mainstream politics is. Ironically it’s going to have to take a few tips from Burnham how to have a massive rethink if it wants to survive. Shoddy.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

I really weary of how UK reporters are tiptoeing around the fact that the US president talked absolute shit about the RAF Fairford incident and arrests. "It's possible Trump was talking off the cuff" - no, it's in fact very clear that Trump was just lying compulsively because that's what he does.

The Conservative proposals would also see foreign nationals convicted of any criminal offence apart from a summary offence deported from the UK, no matter how long they had been here and irrespective of family links. That could see people deported for things like cannabis possession.
