Con/Lab Brexit talks wrap up for the day with the same "constructive and detailed" vibe that Downing St always attaches to them. Why not mix it up a bit, guys? How about "acrimonious and superficial"? Just for a bit of variety?

The nutshelled version of @RLong_Bailey’s statement on Brexit negotiations with the government is “there has been zero progress but we are both negotiating in good faith”. This is Brexit as told by Samuel Beckett. Talks till we all die, never a deal https://t.co/j185eDFXTE

The Senate routinely collects several years of tax returns from Presidential nominees. No one doubts its legislative purpose. Among other things, the returns let the Senate monitor the effect of personal interests on official policy or dubious tax schemes. https://t.co/wvtixrVu8c
