Not in school AF, nothing changed there!

Which I guess is what I’m asking...has there been a change of policy - like for instance an extension in the the light of the pandemic - and a subsequent fall out which they are now starting to ‘paddle away from’? Has it been decided that we’re going to have a ‘No Deal’ Brexit so their work is done...or - outside possibility I know - has the Government seen sense, possibly in the light of best mate Donald’s imminent departure, and decided to row back from the brink with, as I think you have been suggesting for some time, results in a much more benign Brexit which, although nothing like as good as the deal we enjoyed as full EU members, might do less damage?
I did Andy, for thirty years - even met Margaret Beckett - but oddly she didn’t confide in me as regards the workings of the Home Office. ;D

No rA there hasn't which is what was explained two posts before, plus others dampening your conspiracy theory - for a start Cummins had signalled about 3 months ago he would probably leave at the end of this year. So its not new, its not a surprise change its what was always on the cards and has been in certain media for about a month.
I fear that the benign Brexit has been tossed away, we could have gone down the customs union route, but Cummins and the hard Brexiteers have made sure that won't happen - if Cummins was leaving now, then one might say that was a possibility but he isn't, by the time he leaves it will have been agreed.
We wont leave without a deal, I was always sceptical that we would, but the Pandemic has made that a no no. So we will get a deal, not as good as we could have had but one which is better than no deal.
The other aid leaving is just him being thwarted in becoming Johnsons Chief of Staff, so no impact on Brexit at all.
It was a staff room when I was at school. If you ever felt the urge for a cigarette but no-one had been into town to acquire the statutory "10 Sovereign" or "Number 6" all you needed to do was go stand outside said room for 5 minutes and breathe in the air sneaking out under the door. Mostly Benson & Hedges too, the teachers dealt in a higher quality bifter
I didn’t offer a ‘conspiracy theory’, Swale, never do...I just asked a question and it is maybe one that has acquired more substance seeing as Cummings has actually gone completely during the course of the day.
You speak with great authority and dogmatism about such matters. I do wonder sometimes how you can be so certain...what is it you actually do?
