In their newest trains, State-run/owned Danish DSB divide cabins into 16-seat compartments, to make travelling a calming experience. Today I’m on taking an intercity 2-hour journey, walk-on price 179kr (ca £20), free wifi, wide carriage, spotlessly clean. NB. Denmark is in the EU

How to win over public understanding: many 2nd ref supporting MPs voted against a 2nd ref tactically. Obvs. 🤣🤓

We have lost a people’s vote amendment by 334 votes to 85 votes. Labour abstained. An opportunity to drive forward the need for such a vote and Labour flunk it. They are the midwifes to @theresa_may Brexit. Absolutely spineless. #peoplesvote

@mrush_michael @cirian75 @SeumasMilne @JeffSmithetc And both sadly push an anti migrant line inciting hate and division. Horse shoe politics where the huge majority of centrists and ordinary ppl with decent views & compassion are vilified by extremists. #StopBrexitSaveBritain #ExitBrexit #RevokeRemainRebuild #FBPE #FBR #WATON

In relation to the risk of a no deal #Brexit, I know many people must be very worried. To our exporters, our fishermen, our farmers: the Government has your back. We will protect incomes, we will protect jobs & we will support business, whatever happens in the next few weeks.

My article in @FT on UK economy in context of Chancellor's budget speech today. Too bad main problems (low productivity, lagging investment, stagnant wages, crumbling social fabric) have nothing to do with the EU--and will only be made worse after Brexit. ft.com/content/2f79f4…

The Conservative can’t lead by Govt anymore. Still, Labour are way behind the Tories in the polls. Looking down on Brexit Britain From the (more) Sunny Uplands of EU welfare states it all looks a bit Bleak House and an end of the British Welfare State. #FBPE
