I see we are back into “The EU/France is on the verge of collapse” land from the Brexiteers again. A constant reminder that so much of the Brexit project was based on the idea that the EU would collapse once the UK announced its withdrawal, and the failure to do so has become such a source of Brexiteer frustration.

Currently watching “Poker Face” starring Natasha Lyonne on Now TV. Basically an homage to “Colombo” from Rian Johnson, right down to the credits typeface, it’s great fun. Lyonne plays, with great charm, a woman with a gift for telling if someone is lying. And a Jessica Fletcheresque ability to turn up in middle America just as someone gets murdered.
