elfast High Court has ordered that checks on agri-food trade from Britain to Northern Ireland must continue pending the result of a judicial review.

Earlier this week, Agriculture Minister Edwin Poots instructed officials in his department to stop all checks on goods coming into Northern Ireland.

Speaking at Stormont, Mr Poots said he had received legal advice, which stated that he could order a halt to Northern Ireland Protocol checks.

Civil servants have yet to implement the instruction, pending legal clarity on their obligations, and checks are continuing.

It's that lambas bread. I thought it would have broken down by now, but I actually think I'm slightly constipated.

The trouble with you Gondorians is you just want anybody to be able to walk from Minas Tirith to the Shire with no controls at all!!!! The Shire is a sovereign nation and they should be able to control their own borders!!!!

They should sound the horn of gondor at the end of the nights entertainment!

Wisdom of crowds??? What on earth does that mean?

Wisdom of crowds??? What on earth does that mean?

It's a theory - if you ask a large enough sample of people a question, the average of their responses is likely to be fairly accurate.

As an example - if you asked 1000 people the weight of something, the "wisdom of crowds" theory hypothesizes that the average will be close to the correct answer.

Applying the theory to a binary democratic vote - which is plainly not the same thing as a guess to a question - is tenuous at best and farcical at worst. Rees-Mogg is basically saying Brexit will inevitably be successful - otherwise why would so many people have voted for it?

Moron.

A big crowd suggest Brexit benefits. You then add them all up and divide by the number of people. The answer will then be very close to the number of sweets in the jar at the village fete.

If they pay me a £2b consultancy fee I'll go off and investigate the benefits for them.

£2b? NO! We will go back to using denarii to honour Rees-Mogg's Latin education.

Hmm... what other country uses imperial measurements?

Moving to Imperial measurements would enable the government to sweeten that beloved free trade deal with the US they've been dreaming of. If this Imperial Measurements shite goes through, look forward to chlorinated chicken.

I wonder if it's because Jacob's school chums were all so inbred that none of them had 10 fingers and therefore struggle with the decimal system?
