An international banker friend tells me:
“The hedge funds made a ton of money because they met up with #KwasiKwarteng 3 days before the announcement and they shorted Sterling big time - isn’t that insider trading in a mega way? I am appalled”

- Overheard on train: “I’m fed up with the never ending #Brexit mess. Why don’t they just call it off and get on with solving real problems”
- The excellent beer mats made by Led By Donkeys (@ByDonkeys) being placed on #NigelFarage’s seat in the European Parliament...
- I see that #BBCQuestionTime has yet again got a Brexit supporting MEP on their panel. They have NEVER in the last five years had a #Labour, #LibDem SNP, Plaid Cymru, Greens nor a pro-EU Tory MEP But they’ve had nearly 50 UKIP or Brexit Party MEPs. #bias
- In the latest polls, 58% now say it was wrong for Britain to leave the EU, 60% say Brexit is going badly and 53% support rejoining the EU immediately.
- Elton John: 'I am a European – not a stupid, imperialist English idiot'
- Fish & shellfish caught in British waters will now be processed and sold into the EU without veterinary checks, eliminating huge red tape, checks, costs and delays created by Brexit. Given that 70% of seafood caught in UK is sold in EU, this is a big win. Ignore fibbing Farage!
- Dear @MattHancock , If the High Court finding you guilty was such a trivial matter, as you claimed on #ridge & #marr, (“just a missed deadline”), then why did you spend £207,000 of #Taxpayers money on slick lawyers to contest it?
- Outrageous bias by @BBCNews to say that Speaker #Bercow “sided with anti-Brexit MPs”. No! He sided with Parliament (as any #Speaker should) to prevent government trying to trample over #Parliament
- Barnier: “I regret the UK left. I still don’t understand it,neither in terms of British interests,nor European It’s lose-lose.Nobody,not even Farage, [has been able to show any] added value of Brexit The door is open.The UK knows the specifications & knows the conditions”
- Who in the BBC decided it should go out of its way to promote the fringe far-right Reform Party (that has no seat in Parliament): - its leader Tice on #bbclaurak this morning - his wife on #bbcqt last Thursday - covering Farage’s antics in the jungle And why? .
