Never mind Prince Andrew, Jennifer Arcuri is much more interesting.

Downing Street will be banking on the story being drowned out by all the other noise, then it can then be dismissed as "yesterday's news". telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/… via @Telegraph
Ooh hullo
I do keep thinking of this woman whenever Jennifer Arcuri turns up in the news (the difference being that Basil Fawlty was innocent...)

Always been a fan of referendums for lots of policy issues [maybe comes from my Swiss DNA] but I'm now seriously questioning whether UK should go any further with them beyond the occasional one.

We simply don't have the political culture for them.
Does this mean I'm withdrawing support for a second referendum? No.

But I understand why some don't want to go there and why some half-arsed GE- substitute may seem a better alternative.

Forgotten fact: Leavers first mentioned Canada as a potential model in...... 2016.
Before that it was all EFTA with lashings of EEA.
Who was the genius, the great thinker of our age who promoted Canada from the beginning?

Step forward David Campbell Bannerman.

Lionel Shriver admits to being clueless as to why some people are so stirred up against Brexit. spectator.co.uk/2019/10/even-i…
I confess I'm clueless as to how someone can be so clueless about this.

Here's a clue: the manner in which the vote was won and has subsequently been implemented (i.e. cluelessly).
This is however one of the best exhibits of how one side cannot even see the other side, never mind understand it.

What usually then happens is they assume the other side must have nefarious motives. Works for Remainers too ("disaster capitalism", Russia, bots etc - see Carole)

To Yesterday!
Well, what an odd, oddly unsatisfying, and yet even more oddly unsettling film for any lover of the Beatles to watch. Albeit with a great Oasis joke, and an even better, blink-&-you-miss-it Revolution 9 joke. #Yesterday
It did serve to reassure me that the weight I have laid on the Beatles' shoulders in my chapter on the 60s in #Dominion is one that they are more than capable of bearing - because only the Beatles could have borne the weight that #Yesterday obliges them to bear.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)
