For a glimpse of why we were outclassed & out-negotiated by a transparent EU27, Storyville’s Brexit: Behind Closed Doors is a bird’s eye look into how Britain had its “head in the f***ing clouds”. The mortifying incompetence & arrogance of #GlobalBritain. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

“He’s not always into nuances, Dominic Raab”.
Michel Barnier speaking about Raab being evidently moments away from blowing up the negotiations entirely, until he was shown the implications of what he was saying.
And these guys still put themselves forward to lead the Tories.

“Parliament is not a casino”.
@guyverhofstadt on the mad game surrounding the voting on May’s deal.
I don’t think May got that memo.
