    I already made my views on Eirikur clear. Anyone who believes a word he says is a moron.

    Nobody seems to trust the Home Office anymore - too many bad things have happened to EU citizens living in the UK. #Brexit is not their fault, so why do they have to pay for the consequences of it?

    After @DavidDavisMP’s unacceptable remarks, it’s time the UK government restores trust. These amendements will further toughen up our resolution.

    Absolutely.

    One of the key complaints from Brexiters about the EU is the creeping federalism. However, it is remarkably striking how quickly the Ultras have gone from “how bad would it be to be Norway or Switzerland” to “hard or no deal Brexit is the only true Brexit”.

    Remarks by David Davis that Phase one deal last week not binding were unhelpful & undermines trust. EP text will now reflect this & insist agreement translated into legal text ASAP #Brexit

    Interesting to watch the reaction of someone who has never been told no before being told no isn't it?

    Indeed I imagine the EU will cave in on this point.
