Mr Rees-Mogg said: "We are not the sort of country that treats citizens badly so anyone who's already here will retain the rights that they've got and will have the same rights as British citizens.

"And just not bother with the negotiation on that, just say that's what we will do."

You effing what? Not just in another worlld but in another bloody universe. Prick.

it'll be fine, seriously you guys with your negative vibes

Yes, that's right. It's obvious that Boris Johnson has had the solution to all this for ages, and that he's merely kept it to himself, out of modesty, in order not to embarass any of his colleagues by flaunting his superior analysis and quite brilliant solution that no-one else from the world of politics, business, trade, or diplomacy has remotely been able  to devise.

It really is that simple. Boris Johnson has a secret miracle cure, that he's willing to implement and he's made no mention of it so far, because he wanted to wait until the grateful nation called on him, through the meduim of a tory leadership election.

Everything's absolutely fine. There will be adequate glucose.

Scores feared drowned in shipwreck off Libya

1 hour ago

Up to 150 people may have drowned in a shipwreck off the coast of Libya, the UN refugee agency says. A further 150 people were rescued by fishermen and returned to Libya by coastguards, the UNHCR said.

It is not clear if the migrants were on one or two boats that left the Libyan town of al Khoms, some 120km (74.5 miles) east of Tripoli.

If confirmed, it would be the deadliest shipwreck in the Mediterranean so far this year.

At least 65 migrants died in May after their boat capsized off the coast of Tunisia. Sixteen people survived. About 164 people died on the route between Libya and Europe in the first four months of 2019, UNHCR figures show Thousands of migrants attempt to cross the Mediterranean to Europe every year, and Libya is a key departure point.

Those who make the journey often travel in poorly maintained and overcrowded ships, and many have died. But since mid-2017, the number of migrant journeys has declined dramatically.

The decline is largely because Italy has engaged Libyan forces to stop migrants from setting off or return them to Libya if found at sea - a policy condemned by human rights organisations.

The UN has repeatedly said people rescued in the Mediterranean should not be sent back to Libya because of the conflict and the inhumane conditions in which migrants are kept, the BBC's Imogen Foulkes reports.

In the first three months of 2019, some 15,900 refugees and migrants arrived in Europe via Mediterranean routes - a 17% decrease on the same period in 2018.

Is this meant as a metaphor for our approach to Brexit under Johnson?

I look forward to the angry types who had a three year tantrum about the £9m Government spend on the pre-referendum leaflet getting as suitably worked up about this.
