"Is this goodbye?" I'm afraid it is, yes. "Can we stay in touch?" I'm afraid not, no. "Are we still friends?" We never were. "You matter to us" You do not matter to me. "Don't go!" Goodbye. #GDPR

Italy now in recession after two quarters of negative growth - Italian government expect it to continue into this year. German 2019 growth forecast slashed from 1.8% to 1%. Eurozone overall growth pretty poor. And Merkel wants to "go to the brink" on Brexit negotiations.

Or to quote @Dannythefink - what MPs have just done is "worse than foolish — it’s positively reckless."

The City of London Corporation should give over some iconic Square Mile spaces and streets to City restaurants, giving them much needed outside space during this crisis. Imagine dining in Bank junction, outside St Paul's or by the steps of the Royal Exchange.

My cab driver's on the phone to a mate having an animated and detailed chat about Brexit. "Did you see May's speech tonight? She's blaming everyone else for her mess. Hopefully this means WTO."

This is quite staggering. Corbyn's only possible defence could be that he didn't actually read the book. I would appear, however, from his fulsome praise, that he did read it - and lapped up every antisemitic trope it contains.

Remarkable graph on spending outstripping revenue from the new OBR report. Reality: taxes will need to rise significantly over the coming decades.

I think no-deal should be avoided. I think it would be economically damaging, complicated and with undoubted short-term difficulties. But... Royal family to be evacuated? Martial law? Food riots? A spike in heart-attack deaths? Give me a break.

Thomson Reuters: Another 642 new laws from the European Union have been introduced in the UK in the last year. The total number of EU laws introduced in the UK since the Brexit vote alone has now reached 984.

Very excited about Corbyn's event tomorrow on 'what's holding back good journalism.' Who better to turn to for such helpful criticism than the man who told police 'he's bothering me' when asked a question by a reporter on the night he put his first shadow cabinet together?

On Newsnight in June of last year, David Steel described the abuse allegations against Cyril Smith as "tittle-tattle" and "scurrilous hearsay."

Extraordinary evidence at #IICSA today - Lord Steel admits that Cyril Smith confessed to him in 1979 that abuse allegations against him were true – but Steel still did nothing about it, & made no effort to investigate whether Smith posed any continuing risk to children.
