    There is no way, literally none, that the UK could do a US trade deal without a very hard border in Ireland (unless it accepted a hard border in the Irish sea). This is very basic and should really have been clear and accepted months ago.

    How are Brexiteers going to react to being told that a US / UK free trade deal is, effectively, off the table because of our ongoing relationship with the EU?

    We’ve seen newborn babies, nurses in A&E, been up on the helipad, inside the school on the children’s ward, a man who got a new eye and a patient whose foot was saved from amputation - all in one morning. More to come here -

    Government says Wiltshire incident is being treated with "upmost seriousness" and PM being kept informed. Officials held a COBR meeting earlier today, another likely to happen later on. Mood is bleak, though still could be coincidence.

    Seems like the incident in Wiltshire could be serious. Met confirms counter-terror police investigating alongside Wiltshire Police.

    Quite funny watching Tory MPs wracking their brains for bus facts - one quick member scribbled top London transport fact about bus use and passed it forward to PM to read out 🚌

    Labour's stops short of calling for McVey to go right away. “She must now make a full apology to the NAO, to Parliament and to the people who rely on Universal Credit for support. If she won’t then she should consider her position.”

    Worse, the NAO says McVey is a repeat offender. Here's analysis.

    . points out that wilfully misleading parliament is against the ministerial code - breaching that code is what got Damian Green the sack. That is what the NAO is accusing Esther McVery of doing.

    Had a tear watching this. Pure ecstasy, a sharp, instantaneous burst of joy that knocks you off your feet & sends your limbs out of control, where incomprehensible noises replace words & you don’t know what to do with yourself. There’s no feeling like the one football gives you.
