What a mess

now... if only someone could have predicted this in 2016. oh wait, that would have meant resorting to due diligence, rather than knuckle dragging.

Cameron only held the referendum to stop the party splitting yet it was clear to see that anything but a decisive result would cause exactly what we're seeing now. I hope Andrew Neil gets the oppportunity to interview him as his final swansong.

The good news story is that our new trade deal with the Faroe Islands is in place, so Jimi's supply of sweaters is safe.

Anyone who works for a party and leaves after 30 yrs on principal, has to be admired even if you don't agree with their principals. Not a decision taken lightly. Hopefully a new centre party will emerge to better represent the bell curve of opinions, that's a good thing no matter where you stand personally. 52% said leave, 48% said remain, basic stats say that means about 70% would prefer an outcome within 1sd of the middle ground.

R4 Moral Maze had interesting and intelligent debate (no change there then) on The Moral Duties of MPs if anyone's interested in .

If they're principled, they'd fight by-elections! #Soubry! #peoplesvote :D

Bit ranty there ;) , so I'll compromise by saying: Maybe a tiny back on GE in 2019 - exploit the splits. Good ol' fptp
