In a year’s time we’ll all look back on ‘life in Europe’ as a distant memory and probably laugh at all the bother and the price exacted at (and certainly prior to) the point of our actual departure. Which itself is now a bit in doubt. But we’ll know more tonight.When ‘they vote’!!

Again. This time on the amendments to Theresa May’s exit plan. Although the way our democracy works in fact makes trumped-up little, possibly sex-offending Speaker of the House, John Bercow, the most important man in the world. For about an hour.

Because everyone has tabled amendments. And I mean ‘everybody’. The MPs, some Lords, a few cleaners, security guards… and they can’t all have the opportunity to air them. So its up to the Speaker and he alone, to decide which amendments even get voted upon.

And if the Yvette Cooper amendment is heard, that one suggests a delay to Brexit. We need more time. 2 years was impossible. Particularly as nothing much happened during the first 21 months because… well, it just didn’t. It took 21 months to come up with a ‘plan’ which 2/3rds of the House rejected. What Yvette thinks we can accomplish in a further 6 months, who knows.

The Corbyn amendment is just a load of bollocks and won’t be heard. He probably wants us to turn into Venezuela. If nothing else because the leader of the opposition there is just about to take power.

And there are others. Dominic Grieve has one, the head of the 1922 committee has one, and its all down to John Bercow to make the call.

The supermarkets have issued a warning though. Like, all of them. Unless is just more ‘project fear’. That fresh food will be a bit of a problem if we leave with no deal. No problem, just starvation for the masses. And if you couple that with the terrible divisive nature of Brexit for the whole country, verging on civil war, by this time next year we could be Yemen.

And all because…

Happy Tuesday
