Interesting to read @SirJJQC’s interview on the current government’s attitude to the Protocol that it had signed: “having signed up to this deal, there were aspects of it the Government didn’t really like, and was going to try to find ways around.”
Also worth noting.
Full interview here. ukandeu.ac.uk/interview-pdf/…

Many will guffaw. telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/… But there is an important point for the future here.
This an example of how the current government’s choice of Brexit - and its insistence on treating mobility with all our close neighbours (apart from Ireland) in the same way as mobility with Mongolia - are economically and politically unsustainable.
The damage to the UK’s services industries, the reduction in the opportunities available to our citizens (young and old), the problems caused to business - all are consequences of the current government’s choices: other choices could have been made.

Day 10 of #Coast2Coast: Reeth to Richmond. Short day through lower Swaledale. Reeth is lovely but too many cars parked on the green.
Along the Swale. Wondering if buttercups are a cash crop round here.
Open country and pretty church near Marske.

Day 8 of #Coast2Coast: Kirkby Stephen to Keld - over Nine Standards Rigg. Walk up (and a last glimpse of the Lake District in the far distance). ImageImageImageImage
At the top - the watershed! And the (very strange) Nine Standards. ImageImage

NB that Tony Blair was not received into the Catholic Church until after he had resigned as PM.
NB2: the process for selection of CofE (Arch)bishops is set out here. churchofengland.org/sites/default/…. One name (or one name and a “reserve for the contingency that it becomes impossible to appoint” the first candidate) goes to the PM.
So the PM’s role is now fairly nominal (though his appointments secretary serves as a non-voting member of the appointments committee, and his appointee chairs the selection committee for Archbishops).
