    Celebrating this as a victory seems a bit odd. Hooray, only a 3rd of your colleagues consider you catastrophically incompetent and would like you to immediately step down. Let's bust out the balloons and champagne.

    TBH in the politics that ain't bad. Having 50% of the electorate behind you in this country would be considered a landslide.

    In the US between Reconstruction and WWI, the dominant political issue was the gold standard vs the silver standard. It seems so arcane and incomprehensible looking back that people would be that worked up over bimetallism. The best case scenario for Brexit in the history books is that kind of regard

    In favour of whom

    I think that question saved her

    I know there isn't a good alternative, but at this point I want this two-faced bumbler to fall at the final hurdle and completely miss the chance at history she is desperately clinging to. If Brexit goes ahead, there will always be a faction that will lionise her and she doesn't deserve any legacy and should just be forgotten. I do not want her to personally succeed after everything she has been a party to. It's insane that Donald Trump is hosting the more stable government of the two.

    She clinging to power, but she's also doing all of this as a matter of honour.

    She's considered overly calm and logical. That's the mutant from Star Wars' thing isn't it?

    Would currency valuation automatically get factored into inflation?

    semi in the sense that col increases driven by imported goods getting more expensive would be factored in yes

    Looks like wage growth stagnated back in 2016. What happened back then again?

    Does... does he not know everyone can see the whole chart?

    Does he not know how to read charts?

    Questions abound.

    Judging by that chart, if some strange thing hadn't happened in 2016 then wages would be close to the their pre financial crisis levels.

    A wide selection of people telling Rees-Mogg that he lost and should get over it this morning in the face of him making demands about May resigning and everyone doing what he wants.

    I feel like I'm reading that graph wrong.
    How does the claim that the line should be going up super fast track with a line that's clearly going up faster a few years ago? What is Raab's argument here?

    It's rubbish and that's before you consider he's championing a model that is based on our membership of the EU. Which then begs the question, if it's working so well.. why change, Dominic?

    We live in an age where someone can say something alongside direct evidence they're either lying or wrong and still believe they're right. Glory be!

    Worse, people will believe they're right if they're in the same cult.

    Non-Brexit note: For the sentimental ones out there, tonight is Dimbleby's last Question Time before handing the reigns over to Fiona Bruce in the New Year.

    There won't be a dry eye in the house, I imagine. So best have your tissues at the ready.

    Maybe he meant to post a graph showing the differential? Although eyeballing it from that graph, that doesn't seem to be true either.
