An 85 page document to fill in? What madness is this? And apparently part of the citizenship test is knowing all about Morecambe and Wise Christmas specials.

Is this where Brexit starts to go badly off the rails?
David Davis has as good as conceded (in politician speak) that Britain will get no trade deal with the EU in the 2 years for negotiations. Now Philip Hammond has set up the ultimate in crowdfunding with a 60bn war chest of taxpayers’ money to shore up a catastrophic Brexit. And Theresa May is adamant that there will be no real parliamentary say in the ‘deal’ that is negotiated. She wants her Brexit locked down and irreversible, however bad it turns out.
Not looking too good for Brexit and A50 hasn’t even been triggered yet.
Theresa May thinks it’s wrong to wrench countries out of their biggest market
Mmm, wonder who might be doing that, Mrs May
Whether you are for or against nuclear power, Brexit could close down nuclear power stations.
I don’t recall much discussion of this by the leave campaign.
The Lords capitulated on freedom of movement and the single market.
The amendment possibly wouldn’t have made it back through the Commons. To lie over and die and give TM what she wants. I had hoped the Lords would have had a bit more resolve.
Is there a palpable disquiet now about Brexit?
The last moment of triumphant glory for Theresa May and the Brexiteers will be when she brandishes her A50 letter, quite possibly at the meeting of the European Council next month in Brussels. It will no doubt be accompanied by a “will of the British people to leave the European Union, but we’re not leaving Europe, and we want to be friends with you, even if we won’t be contributing any longer” speech.
And from that moment onwards it’s a downhill trajectory for Brexit. Are people now getting worried about Brexit?
Is this the ultimate in control freakery and paranoia?
The Theresa May stare penetrating the Lords Brexit debate.
All going a bit pear-shaped for Paul Nuttall.
What hasn’t this man done?
Still it seems now that he might get done for falsifying his candidature for the by-election, saying he had a house in Stoke.
Could the Lords save us?
A very slim chance, but perhaps they can force in some amendments to the Brexit bill?
No MP veto on Brexit deal
Hardly a surprise, but still bitterly disappointing that Britain will be forced to accept whatever meagre deal May and her Brexit team manage to negotiate with the EU.
This is not democracy rather a small cadre of senior ministers steamrolling though a hard Brexit that there was never a mandate for.
