Pannick is a cross bench peer as well as a QC. They are now hearing his submission with the weight of a parliamentarian behind it - as to the right remedy.I'm calling this for the Claimants. I think it's over.— Dinah Rose QC (@DinahRoseQC) September 19, 2019

even though Julie Burchill is awful, her withering descriptions of what an imbecilic, nasty, shallow little spoilt brat man-boy Toby Young was from their Modern Review days were very amusing at the time. He was a kerb crawler, he was rudely baldist against Nick Hornby even though he was receding himself, he worshipped celebrities to the point he said he'd give Stallone a blow-job.. there was more but I've forgotten tbh because he's not that interesting, but I would be genuinely happy if I heard he'd been shot dead or something

He actually said NH shouldn't be writing for the MR because he was "too bald and old looking"
― calzino, Thursday, 19 September 2019 14:45 (four years ago) link
I wrote music stuff for Modern Review under Kodwo Eshun and I will always hate Toby Young for spiking all the work people did on what turned out to be the final issue and replacing it with his ‘best of’ to serve as a calling card for his move to America and Vanity Fair.

"The government said it has sent the EU a ‘series of confidential technical non-papers’ outlining its ideas for Brexit."

Giving a speech in Madrid, Mr Barclay today said the government needs a year to come up with a replacement to the Irish backstop idea – but it still wants to leave on 31 October.The cabinet minister said the EU has set Britain a test it ‘cannot meet’ with its demands for a backstop replacement.Mr Barclay said: ‘We are told the UK must provide legally operative text by the 31 October, yet the alternative to the backstop is not necessary until the end of the Implementation Period in December 2020.‘And this will be shaped by the future relationship – which is still to be determined.‘In short, why risk crystallising an undesirable result this November, when both sides can work together until December 2020.’He added: ‘The EU risks continuing to insist on a test that the UK cannot meet and that the UK Parliament has rejected three times.’

in what way is barclay in any way otm
the backstop is a binding agreement in the event of uk not satisfying the ongoing requirements of the land border with roi and the necessities of the GFA
let them sign it as a show of good faith that they intend to resolve those issues within the implementation period
if they will not do so they demonstrate unequivocally their lack of serious interest in a negotiated consensus and no further discussions are necessary, prepare for ndb and disregard the nonsense coming from the uk delegation that is purely for the benefit of their own press

100% agree (sidetracked by mark coming back). Like there’s been zero good faith on the UK side, he’s literally just like, ah well let’s not be ~silly~ about this, we’re all friends here, who needs a binding written agreement?

He's otm only in that he's admitting that the government isn't within an ass's roar of an actual solution on the backstop.
