"O Tempora O Mores"

Mores is usually translated as "customs". So, as near as hardly matters, Cicero was saying something about a temporary customs union.

We have all known her, the temp who came for a week and stayed forever. The latest such is the Custom Maid, Mrs Liam Werritty.

This customs union with the EU would be no more temporary than income tax has ever turned out to have been.

Nor is it intended to be.

Over, then, to a veteran opponent of the EU, unlike Theresa May, who is surrounded by people who probably or certainly voted Leave, which Theresa May is not.

Over to Jeremy Corbyn.
