PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING MAY NOT BE A FULL TRANSCRIPT!!
This will send a few ripples across the political pond as well as set a few alarm bells ringing in the Labour Party.
A bunch of Independent councillors has just joined The Brexit Party and taken over Hartlepool Borough Council.
Now, to be fair, since last night The Brexit Party now has ten former independent councillors and has also formed a pact with three Tories. So that gives the group a total of 13, but there are another 20 seats.
So although they are the biggest grouping, they cannot do business without the help of others, like for example the Labour Party that has ten councillors of its own and Putting Seaton First that has three councillors.
But this does put down a marker that is both a warning to Labour and an opportunity for the Tories to consider.
The Brexit Party chairman Richard Tice who is also one of the party's MEPs said:
"Regardless of the shenanigans in Westminster, Brexiteers in the North East are pushing to take back control so they can respect the Brexit vote."
Wonder if Boris is listening?
Now Bloomberg is reporting that Brussels is concerned that Boris Johnson may target some individual EU27 member state leaders to try and get them to vote down any Article 50 extension the UK Prime Minister if forced to request.
And Bloomberg singles out the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as a possibility here, because his foreign minister Peter Szijjarto seemed to leave the door..
