How can non-existent documents be so informative?
It’s been an interesting few days: the Govt. has been caught being negligent, ministers have been extremely economical with the truth and a supposedly done deal with the EU has fallen apart. In fact the Govt. did not commission any … Continue reading
Brexit minister apologises to peers for saying article 50 cannot be revoked
Lord Callanan, who was appointed a Brexit minister last month to replace Lady Anelay, who stood down for health reasons, has just apologised in the House of Lords for telling peers last week that article 50 could not be revoked. Asked a … Continue reading
