The UK will be sending hundreds of select officials over to the EU to take part in the next phase of talks after the Brexit secretary, David Davis, won a Whitehall battle with Theresa May's Brexit negotiator, Oliver Robins.

The Times reports that the already rocky relations between Davis and Robbins has worsened since the decision, as Mr Robbins didn't want a big bang deal, he wanted to have a high level agreement with the EU agreeing the principles with the detail to come after Brexit Day on 29th march 2019. He had even delayed sending out a letter to officials that the Brexit Secretary wanted sent.

But it seems that David Davis is determined to take the bull by the horns. Let's hope he gets on with it.

The London City Airport Chief Executive, Robert Sinclair, says he is increasingly confident that an aviation deal will be struck in time for Brexit. Talking to CityAM, he said:

"....I think the industry and governments on both side of the Channel are prioritising aviation and a seamless aviation market."

and added

"March 2019 is the goal but is is still not 100 per cent clear …. the sooner there is certainty the better."

Brexit is sad and has sometimes made me furious - says the president of the EU Council, Donald Tusk. You didn't think I'd say that did you?

He also said that Brexit was making him divert his attention from more European integration into the task of damage control trying to avert disintegration.

While at the University College Dublin Law Society receiving his honorary lifetime membership he told the audience:

"I don’t like Brexit. Actually, that’s an understatement. I believe Brexit is one of the saddest moments in 21st century European history – in fact, sometimes I am even furious about it."

How can he be 'furious' at democracy? Unless it means that democracy has got in the way of his grand plans that is! And that's exactly what the EU means -  more EU ideology and less democracy all round.

And he's not the only one 'sad' at Brexit. Tracy Emin has said her latest piece of art hanging in London's St Pancras Station has a subliminal anti-Brexit message.

"I’m deeply saddened that within a year Britain is going to be demoted to being a tiny little island floating around in the North Sea." She said.

Shows how little she knows about the UK then. And I'm sorry (no I'm not) to say that a neon sign simply saying 'I want my time with you' does not constitute art!

Other topics include:

1. The CBI with its boss Carolyn Fairbairn on one side of the divergence debate and Richard Tice of Leave Means Leave on the other.

2. As well as a 'Museum of Brexit' we should have a 'Chamber of Horrors' to remember our EU membership with.
