Despite the prime Minister, Theresa May, claiming there has been no customs union climb down, Leave.EU has called her latest Irish Backstop plan a craven betrayal of Brexit.

The PM has said that the UK will be leaving the EU customs union and single market, but the indications are now that the UK will keep on collecting the EU's Common External Tariffs at our borders well after the end of the transition phase on the 31st December 2020.

This will effectively push our customs union membership into 2021 and possibly beyond.

Leave.EU said:

"The fudge is being labelled the new Irish “backstop” (as opposed to the other backstop, which would see Britain remain in Customs Union if the British government cannot come up with an alternative…oh wait, that’s exactly the same thing). Sources claim it will be strictly “time-limited”, which does nothing to assure us the cutoff point will be in the short term as opposed to forever."

And Jacob Rees-Mogg said:

“We have gone from a clear endpoint, to an extension, to a proposed further extension with no end point.

“People voted Leave, they did not vote for a perpetual purgatory.”

And my question is, will it just end up being the collection of tariffs, or will it bring demands for the continuation of the four freedoms of movement with it too?

Now back to the House of Lords.

Unsurprisingly, that arch Remoaning polisher of the House of Lords red benches, Lord Adonis, is not happy about a report that Theresa May is set to appoint ten new peers to the Lords to try and get the Brexit/Remain see-saw in the upper house more in her favour.

Adonis said:

"This is a classic example of packing the Lords to try and make Brexit easier to endorse."

As far as I can see, the PM would probably need nearer a hundred new peers to do that! And isn't it a bit late in the day now anyway?

According to the Guardian she might actually appoint them by the end of the week! And there are also expectations that Labour will add three to its own numbers too.

All after a report last year that said the numbers should be reduced by 25%!

So, the House of Lords just continues on and gets an ever larger membership.
