That should be worth another point or two on the polls. It's a country mile from losing the election in one fell swoop, but it won't do anything for the blood pressures at CCHQ.

Very disappointed he didn't push her there on no deal meaning we're ripe for a bad deal with Trump instead, and having to cosy up with the nutters of global trade. Never mind the whole 'Britain is open for business' corporation tax cuts shite that has been pedalled for nearly a decade to no real effect.

Really depends which bits get pulled out for the reports - bet you the applause break she got for repeating "no deal is better than a bad deal" will be the one they keep showing for her.

Hopefully the canvassers make a lot of good use of this this week. Really keen to see the papers headlines as well.

His approach switched from screaming incoherently at closing time and trying to start a fight in the pub car park to a disappointed dad with May.

And May couldn't handle it.

Reminder that Brexit is actually going to be conducted by a series of total amateurs on our side with May getting increasingly angry at them when they don't immediately get all of her points in the agreement.

I can see negotiators quitting halfway through.

And she won't feel remotely threatened by this because the right wing press is going to cheer her on the entire way, all the while avoiding any negative results stemming from her incompetence and stupidity because they're actually because of the EU bullying us.

Amateurs would be much, much cheaper than the incredibly highly-paid consultants they're getting in to do it and who definitely won't be carving out exceptions for large consultancy firms as part of the negotiations.

And then we have to make a deal with Trump, happily selling out our environment and food standards in the process.

As much as I hate May I don't actively want her to gently caress up the negotiations.

Yeah, most people, including most interviewers, don't seem to understand that the exit negotiations won't actually be carried out by national leaders.

Also, Paxman's definitely past his prime. He's lost sight of the fact that the aggressive interviewing stance is supposed to be a means to an end, rather than an end in itself.

Nope.

I know reliable stories that they're trying to poach cream of the crop trade negotiators in Brussels at the moment, but the salaries on offer are so low people are just hanging up on the recruiters.

Heard it from a very senior UK national with 20+ years of WTO and Brussels experience.
