One influence has been La République En Marche, the pro-European centrist party founded by Emmanuel Macron in France in April 2016. According to Lara Spirit, 21, a third-year student in politics and international relations at Cambridge, and another Ofoc founder, it inspired them to build support

David Davis: Brexit will not plunge Britain into Mad Max dystopia

At the headline that is.

David Davis will be the guy who loses the tips of his fingers to the feral boy's sharpened boomerang in Mad Max 2 should such a dystopian future occur.

One can only but hope.

Interesting extract from areport on Macron's speech at Davos

The most controversial part of his speech was for a "stronger Europe" that had more political, supra-national powers over individual countries' laws and tax regimes. A new, more ambitious Europe was the answer to the barriers of nationalism, he said. "If we want to avoid this fragmentation of the world we need a stronger Europe."

"My view is we have to redesign a 10-year strategy ... to make Europe an economic, social, green, scientific, and political power. That's what we have to build."

"You need more ambition than the 27" countries that form the basis of the EU, he said. The less ambitious countries — Britain, presumably, which has voted to leave the EU — should get out of the way, he said. He also argued that the EU might want to abandon its longheld principal of only making changes if all 27 countries agree to the change. Countries that want more European power should be allowed to get it, he said. "Those who don't want to move forward should not block the most ambitious people in the room."

The end of the world as we know it

Brexit is deterring au pair

Brexit is deterring au pairs

The number of young Europeans applying to help with childcare in Britain has fallen by up to half since the EU vote

It is the price that no middle-class family in Britain expected to pay.
The endless supply of enthusiastic (or sometimes rather grumpy) au pairs from Europe to the UK’s family homes is drying up, one of the unexpected casualties of Brexit Britain.
Each year, an estimated 40,000 families offer young foreigners a home, food and pocket money. In return, they get the childcare that allows parents to work, often also forming friendships that last years.
Figures collected by agencies that match au pairs with families show the numbers of Europeans willing to work in UK homes has fallen 40%-50% since 2015.

“Brexit has really damaged us,” said Rebecca Haworth-Wood, chairwoman of the British Au Pair Agencies Association (BAPAA). “Many families rely on au pairs but this year our agencies are struggling to find them. Europeans are just less willing to come because Britain is perceived to be anti-foreigner. They want to go to families in places like Ireland instead.”

This is interesting

In the past year, the Home Office has issued 18,950 visas under its domestic workers in private households scheme, which allows foreign families to bring domestic staff with them when staying in the UK.

At least they'll no longer be forced to raise other people's children, says Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Nothing so bourgeois as a nanny.

Nannies get paid.

They need to widen their horizons. I'm sure they could get some subservient Filipino or Costa Rican girl if they tried. They could probably pay them less and beat them occasionally too.

Ireland must be awash with au pairs being pro foreigner and all that

If there’s a sudden glut of would be au pairs in Ireland, I suspect it will have more to do with recent court decisions extending the minimum wage and other employment protections to au pairs than it will with fear of Brexit.

(The horrified coverage of the minimum wage decision in the media here was almost as funny as the horrified coverage of the Jobstown acquittals. Our court system is usually pretty reliable from an establishment point of view and the papers don’t take it well when something goes wrong and the plebeians win).
