Brexit is fruit of a poisoned tree. I was born with the NHS and Welfare State, spread my wings in the EU (EC): it seems I'm to die in a stunted tax haven.

With regret, I don't see how the progressive, fair, prosperous society I work for within the Labour Party can come about in Brexit Britain.

I think it is up to feminists to point out how women will be impacted differently by this crisis than men. I'm thinking for example of women and children who are going to spend a lot of time in a house with an abusive man. Feminism doesn't take a break during crises.

Johnson seems quite sanguine about the *possibility* of my imminent death.
Only fair. I'm quite sanguine about the possibility of his.
Mr Johnson has chosen folk like me to 'take it on the chin' on behalf of Tories and investors, so they won't lose too much profit.

Is this a joke? 'Failing Grayling' to be given Dominic Grieve's job as Intelligence and Security Committee chairman? MI5 and MI6 must be tearing their hair out. Oh well. Let's look on the bright side. Perhaps he'll publish the Russia Report by mistake.

Today in the Covered Market, Oxford, I called out a youth for racist language. He was telling one of our many visitors to "go back to where you come from". I was about 15 metres away and could hear this loud voice in what seemed like converstion. The phrase is like red rag to ...
