"I know members opposite are relieved they are finally allowed to say the Conservatives' Brexit deal is a disaster. But that can't just be a political ruse to attract Nigel Farage, however much he deserves it" Ed Davey, Leader, Liberal Democrats
Ed Davey has urged Keir Starmer to go further on Brexit, calling for the UK to negotiate a new customs union with the EU. Heโs right that Labour must be bolder in repairing relations with Europe and addressing the long-term damage caused by leaving.

Thames Water wants to pollute UK rivers with illegal sewage dumping until 2040, pay no fines, law already permits some sewage dumping.

Public ownership is the only way out.
These national heroes have now waited more than a year for a meeting with Keir Starmer to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition. They are now in their eighties and are dying waiting for justice. This is no way to treat veterans Prime Minister

PR Hype.
Water firms in England could face harsher sewage fines.
Firms still pay dividends, mega exec pay
Fines have been virtually abolished. Amounts handed back to firms for environmental improvements. They displace investment, improve balance sheet.
Must remove the profit motive. Nationalise.

The OBR is expected to refer to Brexit in its productivity downgrade. Will it work? Some in government believe the approach is "insane", while others point to shifting attitudes to the European Union; 61 per cent of voters believe Brexit has been more of a failure than a success and that the Tories and Johnson are most culpable. Others are more sceptical. "It's a gift for Farage," a government source said. "Voters just won't buy it."
Having quoted the Bank of England and OBR on the long-term damage that Brexit has caused, and knowing most of us think itโs been an epic fuck up, the Times ends with a quote that sums up the defiant ignorance that got us into this mess.
