• This morning's Commons Brexit committee (taking evidence from three academics and specialists. And what do they know.) sounded like fun. Some examples:

    Stephen Booth, Open Europe Policy and Research Director: "There is a risk of trying to analyse this rationally when in it's just a political fudge and therefore it's difficult to find much meaning in it."

    Now Professor @anandMenon1: "The difference between fudge and compromise is that compromise is judicially enforceable and can be implemented. Some of this agreement can be implemented, just about. But some of it... frankly cannot."

    Professor Dougan: "We have irreconcilable promises to different sets of people and someone is going to be disappointed."
