/// Said today that Brexit process will be formally triggered by March
Means the UK is set to be out of the Brussels club by April 2019
The new repeal bill will remove the act that took the UK into the EU
It will enshrine all EU rules that currently apply to Britain into domestic law
These laws can then be abolished at a later date if required ///

Only nine months late. It could - and should - have been invoked at the end of June. The argument that things "need to be decided" before A50 is invoked is specious. Whatever decisions are made the UK is still leaving the EU. The referendum was not conditional on any decisions being made or on the terms of any "deal" which may or may not be forthcoming.
I cannot imagine any politicians nominating Nigel for any sort of honour. He and his party have not only upset the applecart, they have overturned it and squashed all the fruit. The cosy elite that has been running things for far too long (and blaming the EU for all our ills whilst maintaining that it would be suicide to leave) has been well and truly kicked into touch.
I only hope that Brexit precedes a rapid and complete disintigration of the EU and all its institutions so that the people of Europe can have some sort of sanity restored to their lives. In some countries (particularly the southern nations) it will take generations to repair the damage the EU has inflicted upon them but the sooner they begin the better. Hungary could make a start today by voting down the EU's migrant "resettlement" plan in their referendum. Perhaps when the French quit they can bestow their "Legion d'Honneur" upon Mr Farage. He'll get precious little from the UK even though his dogged determination to see us out of the train crash that is the EU will have done more to restore the country to an independent nation state than all the creeps, slimeballs, crooks and charlatans in the mainstream parties ever could.

Two views based on a two year process:
a) Thirty months from now an era will dawn when the United Kingdom will flourish like never before in the past two or more generations and very likely ultimately surpass its greatest past glory ever.
b) Thirty months from now the European Union will be rid of that country, which complained for years that it was not being allowed to join once it reached the bottom and decided it wanted in after all, and then kept wanting to be more equal than the rest.

Definately option 1.
Although in some ways I think A50 should have been invoked staight away. The delay has gone some way to show that all is not lost and the world didn't end.
If it had been called back in June the bankers would of had a field day and carried on screwing the economy and probably done far more damage than couldn't possibly be imagined. But because there has been a few months of calm the rest of the world and the EU super state has seen that we are on firmer ground than their expectations of our demise.

We went to a lunch (brunch) birthday party today and once again ran upon the brick wall of incomprehension by the Germans about Brexit. I realised a few months ago after encountering looks of disbelief that I was in favour of Britain leaving the EU, trying to explain that it has nothing to do with any disagreement with the people of Europe, but it was about not wishing to be led by a bunch of self-serving, non-elected nobodies, steering everyone down a road which they didn't want to go nor had ever signed up to.
It occurred to me on one early encounter, the difference between the British and the Germans and that is one of identity something they don't understand because they are extraordinarily provincial in outlook, wish not to dwell on their history and would like to see Germany dissolve into a greater union.
Britain has a history of at least a thousand years of unity, with a monarchy and parliamentary history, there may have been infighting and problems at times, but it has always been a coherent identity, whereas Germany and France have only a history of disunified dukedoms and principalities having had only a comparatively short existence.
Napoleon tried to conjoin the different countries and so did Hitler, neither succeeded and neither will Brussels.
