The Tale of Three Lockdowns. One you might excuse on the grounds of inadequacy and panic. Two begin to look like carelessness. But imposing a *third* lockdown *because* the first two failed is an example of doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.

EFTA is by far the best option for keeping the UK together. Eases NI issue and reduces threat of scottish separatism. 'Hard' Brexit or full EU membership provide both an incentive and a greater ease of breaking away.

@Andrew_Adonis If true, this is the worst decision taken by a UK PM in recent times. DfID is very widely respected internationally, a crucial part of UK soft power and a vital link to poorer commonwealth countries. Abolishing it will wreck UK's internationalist and pro-development reputation

@antcary @KeohaneDan So much more could be effectively made of it. It could operate similar to how OECD does, but with far greater west-east and north-south representation and focus. It could be a global thinktank like no other.

To be honest, one good reason to be proud of being British is that we generally don't go into this sort of absolute nonsense.

@Wilson34David imagine the poor junior civil servant who had to cease serious work in order to take that call.

This could be magnificent, but it has to be a *NATIONAL* event. Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast should be hosting games, with perhaps a SF each in Cardiff and Glasgow. If we have an even vaguely switched-on PM and Cabinet, this is a potential game-changer @michaelgove

BOOM! Euro2021 very likely to be played solely in England as UEFA are opting for the one hosting country format and England is the one they believe being in best position to do so. Decision expected to be taken within mid-April

@LawrieThane @nunguaeminem There is as much evidence for this as the idea that Andy Murray is Scottish when he loses but british when he wins I.e. none

@notmynational It's richly ironic. Especially when very pale white Scots tell ethnic minority Brits their flag/identity is racist/colonial. Do they have any self awareness?

@Effiedeans Yes, I think pro-UK supporters should not really use economic arguments. It makes it sound transactional. The pro-UK argument needs a British identity at its core.

@ewangibbs @rosscolquhoun Name any comparable country where there are provisions for components parts to leave without the say-so of the capital. Even the Catalonia issue is seen as a Spanish wide issue.

@the_irishguy Really sad. Virtually everyone in the UK would support Ireland and want them to win the tournament if they were in the position England are in.

@dishgirl4 @KevinHague Because it's part of our country. Should we get rid of the Isle of Wight too? That costs more than it brings in on a fiscal basis.

@labourlewis 1. It's not a union, it's a country 2. It has not been an imperial power for three quarters of a century 3. Tories aren't my cup of my tea but this description is absurd 4. You're a Labour MP. If you don't believe in the UK, then leave the Labour Party

8. There is no reason, and there never has been, why Yorkshire should not have similar powers to Scotland or Greater Manchester similar powers to Wales. A federal UK is heavily overdue, with regional identities encouraged within a shared national framework.
