My Hope is that Labour win the next election, but need the Lib Dems to rule, and that they DEMAND PR and some form of way back to the EU (or single market at least) as the price for that.

It quickly points out that he'll not struggle overall any time soon, but robbed of acolytes, access to misuse the government jet to fly back from Cornwall, or to pop to Chequers etc. He'll miss *all* of that, so, so much. Probably also means he'll be in with anyone who offers him a private jet flight as soon as possible, totally and hopelessly compromised.

The ECHO understands the intention of the new charges is to better control where larger vehicles and motorhomes can park in order to remove obstruction on the public road, which is a statutory duty for local authorities.
