Sleazy Like A Monday Morning – Start Your Week with Alex Andreou

As Johnson scuttles away from the Owen Paterson debacle and fresh sleaze oozes out, will new Commons regulations mean that MPs have to get by on just the one job like some sort of cave dwellers? Plus, brace yourself for trade war as Lord Frost (no doubt with great regret) prepares to trigger the Article 16 he’s been gagging for since December. And is your poppy leaf at the right angle? Alex Andreou flags up the week ahead. 

• “The entire Paterson mess is simply because Johnson hates people bothering his Brexiteer mates.”

• “What is there to prevent paramilitary violence flaring up in Northern Ireland?” 

• “Triggering Article 16 will only show that trade power lies with Europe, because it’s seven times the size of the UK.”
