Brexit Dramarama

Aww how nice from RTL in The Netherlands...

A tribute to the British: despite 22 rejections we still love you, but please make up your mind! Lots of love from Dutch TV anchor @zadelhoff #Brexit #loveletter pic.twitter.com/qDRLvdG4v4

Beth Rigby doing a fantastic job outside Downing Street, managing to explain each cabinet member’s position on Brexit as they go, then going back seamlessly to the point she was making. Along with Mark Austin, some really good coverage.

We didn't even get the usual post on here about whether there'd be a newsflash on BBC1/BBC2/CBeebies etc. Though the fact the statement took place while the 6 O'Clock News was on probably played a part.

Dear Lord,

Just get on with it!

I bet the EU wish they'd just told us to Brex Off the day after the referendum.

The only positive in all this is it has given political journalism a platform like never before and despite some failings during the campaign and failures to hold some promises to account in recent months at least most have excelled, probably feeling the shackles came off as Brexit day loomed larger with no obvious progress towards a conclusion.

The Brexit Storm was fascinating last night. If anyone missed it, I'd highly recommend. I hope it isn't the last Vice Studios produced documentary for the BBC.

What's the cost of the damage I wonder?

It is very good, but I can’t believe they edited out / didn’t include the bit where I was filmed. Thought that might be my big break. Unbelievable!

Understand that government wants this whole process, including any Commons votes, done this week. The next 72 hours are going to be quite something

Special programing coming again then I suspect for either Thursday (Votes normally at 17.00 or Friday - votes normally at 14.30.)
Equally it could end up being next week. These are going to involve major negotiations

What the government wants is quite irrelevent.

You’re back doing this then?

If BBC Two is going to drop Flog It or whatever I don’t think we need two days warning to get prepared for it.

Brilliant show!
