    Have to say I’ll be glad when Children in Need is over, especially the rickshaw challenge. It’s cost me £20 a night this week and a copiously weeping wife.

    These kids are fantastic though. Both upsetting to see and hear what they have been through and heartwarming to see them rise to this challenge and be so eloquent in talking about their lives.

    Oh dear, she’s off again......

    If the bullying EU are being this difficult before trade talks begin...then negotiations are destined to fail and everyone's wasting their time. The UK government needs to wake up to the fact that we'll trade with the EU on WTO rules like other countries.

    It is both moving and inspirational at the same time.

    Here's an idea, though. Let's scrap Trident and spend the money saved on the children. Then, those that still want nuclear weapons could hold a telethon each year to raise funds for renewing Trident.

    So if North Korea (or Iran, Russia) decide to nuke us there is nothing we can do about it!

    Thought I could, but then realised we are out at the theatre tomorrow watching my cousin's son doing his acting thing. Enjoy!

    Little buggers have just finished, raised over £5m.

    From my perspective there is somehow more value, and certainly more soul, in services and facilities provided by money that people have chosen to give, rather than through tax. Irrational I know, but there you go.

    The BDI and the CBI would sort this instantly. No Brexit.

    I give up. This level of debate is too much for me.

    Seems to me that, with all the hard ball words being thrown about by the EU negotiators and some EU leaders, the Irish PM being the latest to have a dig, the only course of action left to the UK is to walk away and get on with our future. The EU are pushing and pushing, petrified of losing our financial input............Just tell them to.............(you know the rest).
