Urgent parliamentary question today basically to ask "what is this horseshit?". Davis bottles it and sends a junior minister in his place. This is embarrassing.

It's sad to think that 10 years ago it would have been him leading the charge against the government in a case like this.

The Speaker hinted that he would allow them to debate if Davis was in contempt of Parliament. FFS.

Also, the junior minister they sent to answer because Davis was scared stated that the sectoral analysis does not exist in the form that Parliament wants.

The problem is that they have, legally, on the record, previously stated that it does indeed exist and they just don’t want to show it to anyone.

So either way they have lied to Parliament and/or broken FOI laws.

Great job, A+, would trust these clowns with our future again.

Oh dear.

Will any minister start to feel any shame or embarrassment over any of this? It's only the biggest constitutional, social, and economic change in about forty years, after all. This is an abysmal piece of maladministration.

That said, Mr Johnson ought to have gone over the Iranian prisoner affair, and Mrs May is far too weak to exercise any control. How long ago that exit poll in 2015 feels now.

Priti Patel has been shouting about hoe May has been Doing It Wrong and how she should have told the EU to "sod off" over paying cash monies.

Oh, and it's probably nothing, but according to the Guardian someone in Sinn Fein has being talking about 'civil disobedience' if the border comes back.

Davis: We can't show you the impact assessments because it would weaken our negotiating position

World: So, they're bad, then?

Davis: I can't answer that because it would weaken our negotiating position

World: But if the papers were good you could release them without weakening out negotiating position. So they must be bad. And the EU know this. In fact, the assessments must be so bad, we're better off letting the EU imagine how bad they are rather than knowing, and so they must in fact be unimaginably bad.

With each passing day, a military coup is looking more attractive. If only so we can bring back the stocks to parliament square.

Technically "DExEU is incapable of carrying out impact assessments" probably would actually weaken our negotiation position, so that could well be a truthful response.

Times: "Theresa May is set to approve a politically explosive Brexit bill of up to £50bn after the Conservative Party conference in October in an effort to kickstart trade talks with the European Union. Under plans being drawn up in Whitehall, Britain would pay between £7bn and £17bn a year to Brussels for three years after Brexit before ending sizeable direct payments into EU coffers in time for the 2022 general election."

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ther ... -7ttbnc239

That'll go down well, I'm sure.

I'm no fan of Cavey's stance on many political issues but goading folks when they're not around is just plain bad form IMO.

Maybe he's been quiet lately because he's mad busy at work, or maybe he's got stuff going on with his family, or any other entirely valid reason that means he's got more important things to do than argue on BEEX about Brexit or anything else.

Or maybe he just can't be arsed at the moment, and that's fine too. I feel that way sometimes as well.

Prodding people with a stick isn't exactly a great debating tactic, especially when you have no idea why they're not sat at the table at any particular moment in time.

The whole 50 billion euros thing wouldn't have been an issue had the government been open and honest about likely costs sooner. Instead we had Mr Johnson talking about whistling.

I also don't care much for talk of 'the other side'. Surely we'd be better off seeing it as a collaborative project and admitting that both sides have interests and possibilities where we might both benefit, rather than a them v us zero-sum game?

Quote:
Both sides say no final figure will be agreed on Britain’s exit settlement next week. Significantly the UK plans to avoid a lump-sum settlement and instead will develop a system for regularly calculating payments in years to come, when specific liabilities come due.

Under this model, pensions of EU officials, for instance, could be paid on the basis of annual costs, meaning there will be no final figure for the so-called “Brexit bill” until the final eligible EU pensioner is dead, many decades from today.
Well, that's one way to attempt to dodge screaming headlines from the Mail: make it too complicated for Mail hacks to add up. Can't see it working, though, but what else can May do?

Quote:
The mechanism for determining payments, once applied in future years, may take account of the fall in sterling and decline in the relative size of Britain’s economy, thereby reducing the UK’s share from 13 per cent.
"Good news! We've reduced the Brexit bill, and all we had to do was fuck our currency and economy into a cocked hat!"

Presumably because the markets fear a cliff edge, so every bit of news that nudges us closer to a deal is good news.
