1. Well, all of that assumes that people on all sides - and there won't be just two sides in this set of negotiations! - are rational actors, doesn't it?

4. As if we trust anything from Rees-Mogg's mouth and/or pen hand and/or keyboard?

Reserving comment on the rest of the links...

I mean, it's 50 years since we first joined the EU, so 50 years of life in the brexit uplands is certainly a plausible timescale for hard breentry with single currency and Schengen part of the deal to seem more attractive to the majority than the status quo.

This would absolutely lead to benefits for frictionless commerce that would have been much harder to achieve had we all just spent that time muddling along with the old deal.

I am certainly hoping that in my lifetime (ie in the next 30 years or so) we may be able to rejoin the single market. Unfortunately I think that joining the single currency would be a bad idea economically. In a single currency there is no ability to devalue in a recession - and Greece in particular has suffered very badly from this.

Orkney is an unusual place. I suppose I'm not surprised by the surprising migration findings.

Disney filmmaking process: The question that came to my mind when watching movies like Tangled was, if Disney is going to spend all this time and trouble making an animated movie, couldn't they spend a little of it tightening up the plot? What made Encanto so good was that, despite various points in the plot which made me go "huh?", it didn't generate that sense of "millions for animation, not one cent for writing."

How do they know the women who established that line moved to Orkney voluntarily?
