Wasn't he seen at German consulate recently?

He'll be the subject of a hate campaign if he moves out here. He'll probably feel right at home in Dresden.

To celebrate article 50:

Government cuts NHS staff pay

The Ministry of Truth will no doubt argue it's a pay rise, a Brexit dividend.

He is on the menu for the Trump Putin summit as spit roast.

Farage, who has spent his political life campaigning for Britain to leave the EU, was asked whether he would apologise if Brexit led to huge job losses and economic ruin.

Farage refused to do so, saying that there wasn't a "tradition" of politicians apologising in the UK.

"I see hardly anyone resigning. I see hardly anyone apologising," he told a caller to his LBC show.

He then added: "If Brexit is a disaster I will go and live abroad. I will go and live somewhere else."

Farage has previously admitted considering plans to move to the US.

"European parliament will veto Brexit deal with early cut-off date for free movement

The European parliament will veto any Brexit deal that prevents EU citizens who move to the UK during the next two years from having the same rights to live and work in Britain as those already in the country.

The EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, and MEPs are understood to be concerned by reports that the British government wants 29 March, when it officially notifies the EU of its intention to leave, to be the “cut-off date” for the free movement of people.

It has been repeatedly reported that the British government believes that 29 March 2017 is the appropriate date after which EU nationals moving to the UK would have rights different from those already in the country, although government officials say publicly that that is a matter for the negotiations.

Teresa May wet her knickers over this one. Especially this news came just after some of her hard Brexit MPs threw a hissy fit this morning.

But more importantly. How does one notify the EU that the UK is invoking A50? Can the PM just send a text?

Sir Tim Barrow will take care of this.

Or maybe Brexit secretary?

Sure, taking advantage of cheap texting rates within the EU

If cost was a concern she could of course just tweet it for free.

Or post it on the UK's Facebook page. Would it get 16 million "likes"?

Brexit pessimism starts to take hold

We're about to enter a period of uncertainty. So that will make people feel a bit "edgy".

But how people feel and what actually happens are two different things. Given that nothing material will change in the next three months ( or more likely the next 24 - 36 months ) I'll be looking out for the DailyWail article in May that proclaims that confidence has bounced back.
