9 phases of Brexit:
1. Its freedom & economic boom
2. Not as bad as remoaners said
3. Teething issues
4. Freedom requires extra effort
5. We need better Brexit deal
6. New pragmatism with EU
7. Align where it makes sense
8. The EU has learnt & changed
9. Rejoin
We’re now at 5.

A lot of people voted leave simply as it was seen as a “proxy for patriotism”.
Attacking patriotism won’t convince these voters to think again, it’ll if anything convince them to try and believe in it still.
Voters don’t want the problems of Brexit.
They want a “better Brexit”.

Anything north of £100 million and Spurs should just accept the offer.
Kane is 28 with a dodgy ankle.
In 4 years Kane will be slowing down & resale value much reduced.

On @BBCr4today did Grant Shapps just refer to the govt website as "gov.ukip"?
The rise in these costs is truly eye-popping. Are they aimed at business people who can expense it? Or the very rich?
@grantshapps just told @TimesRadio the increases were "necessary" to cover costs of govt taking over hotels.
The cost of red list quarantine will rise from £1,750 per person for 11 nights to £2,285 for a single adult.
The bill will rise even further for second adults, from £650 to £1,430

This feels more relevant than ever, given Jonathan Van-Tam pointed out that it's not his job to sort the vaccine rollout, just to offer advice
Offering vaccines to 16-17 year old is too late to make a difference to education when terms starts next month.
Government have squandered the opportunity summer offered.
Hindsight? Here’s the Hansard transcript of what I told ministers in the @HouseofCommons back in *JUNE* 👇
