We are at the ‘betrayal’ phase of the Brexit saga- this is where the fantasists accept it’s a failure but blame others..it’s the final phase of disastrous projects when the wreckers fight amongst themselves..still noisy and self-regarding while others deal with the dark consequences:

A lovely moment from our @dwnews coronation coverage today: @Tomi_Oladipo reveals a special connection to the ceremony while in the studio with @_alexforrest and @AnjaMcKinnon - all absolutely excellent during their marathon live stretch earlier 👏👑😅

Judging by messages I’m getting @BBCMOTD in meltdown. Any presenter who agrees to replace @GaryLineker tomorrow night will be tainted as effectively a political appointment. Ditto any pundit.

"The nationalist movement loses its best advocate,” Prof John Curtice tells me. “This is a reflection of the internal debate about independence in the SNP, rather than the gender recognition stuff."

"I'm not suggesting he's as bad as Hitler but..." WTF?!!! And AN Wilson is allowed to say it TWICE in this short clip. What is @TimesRadio doing allowing this appalling comment to be made without the presenter stepping in? #MurdochPress #PrinceHarry.
"It is like reading Mein Kampf, in that Hitler thinks he's a great hero and you put the book down with absolute disgust. And you do put this book down with total disgust."
Readers finish Harry’s book with "disgust", journalist and author A.N. Wilson tells #TimesRadio.
5 long days including emergency doctors appointments for missing medicine plus emergency Xmas shopping for missing presents and clothes, our bags have arrived. Communication from @British_Airways practically non existent. Let’s hope they fair better on our return to Berlin.
Lovely to be back in the UK for Christmas. Shame all our luggage (4 bags) from #Berlin never got on the plane. Let’s hope @British_Airways can get it to us in time for Xmas, otherwise there will be some very upset children. #BA #lostluggage
