Whitehall civil servants consider martial law in the case of a no-deal Brexit

From today's Sunday Times

Eight weeks to go to the deadline. A job well done by Farage, Bannon, Russian propagandists and their ilk. What an absolute sh*t-show.

Will the House subpoena Cohen today?

Surely they missed a trick by letting the Senate get in first, especially as it is going to be behind closed doors. Is there a possiblity that the public will never know what Cohen has been up to? Please reassure a Brit !

About Trump's address tonight

Is it live or pre-recorded? Is there a time limit applied, or can he spout on for as long as he likes?

Brian Kolfage's GoFundMe for the wall reaches a tipping point

The number of millions raised now outstripped by the number of days fundraising - so just over $19m raised in 20 days (or 0.0019% of the first billion needed). A marked drop from earlier. Kolfage promised big news this week that would be "Shock and Awe 2.0" but nothing materialised. He now says that legal entanglements to ensure the money will definitely go to building the wall are holding things up.

He claimed last night that once these are solved the fund will be raising '$100m a week' By that measure, the 5 billion dollars will be raised in just under a year. I call BS.
