Peers have defeated the government on the issue of staying in a UK-EU customs union after Brexit, the BBC reports. I always knew those old duffers were useful for something. Let’s just hope this is a sign of things to come, although I suspect that as the reality of leaving the EU becomes clearer and clearer, such defeats for the Outists will become commonplace.

Mind you, I’m only occupying my mind with such matters while I wait for my beloved to get home. I am starting to try to avoid politics altogether as it just makes me angry, and the recent news of Lee has reminded me that there are more pressing issues to worry about.
