Fascinating screen shot from messages amongst Tory MPs about Frost leaving. The most telling message of them all though from Marcus Fysh - 'The whole point of Brexit is radical supply side reform...'

For anyone unfamiliar with this term he's using, supply side policies include additional privatisation, deregulation of labour markets including lowering minimum wages, deregulation of financial markets.

Within supply side economic thinking the reduction / elimination of minimum wage, unemployment and health benefits for workers is believed to increase wage competition among workers and encourage more workers to take jobs at lower wages, this in turn lowers cost for firms.

It tells you exactly what the Tory vision for the UK post Brexit is and it's wild to see a MP talk in such unguarded language.

As a side note it did make me chuckle to see Steve Baker removed Dorries.

Diplomat surely.

Hilarious - just goes to show that Politicians will do anything to further their careers!

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Not any more Mr.Wordsworth!!

'Millions of daffodil stems will be left to rot in the fields this spring, as growers face a critical labour shortage that they fear could spell the end of the entire industry'.

'brexit means brexit'.

Interesting and balanced article from Andrew Neil about post Brexit both Leave and Remain sides are criticised.

Wow £6 for a 3 year visa how inconvenient. If that's what the EU want to do then fair enough you need an ESTA for the states and there's a Canadian version, I hope we have reciprocated.
