Actually no I don't. However unlike the EU commission I can vote to get rid of the shower that currently runs the country. Granted at the moment I do not see an option I prefer but as Mr Wilson said a week is a long time in politics so hopefully a white knight will come along (sorry a multicultural, gender neutral leader that we can all celebrate).

If not I might have to stand myself.

Dominic Raab has resigned.

To lose one Brexit Secretary is unfortunate to lose two...

I think his solution is so far away from what this government has negotiated that it represents a 'no deal'.

Is it a bit early for you Steely? He said he can't vote out the commission. That's nothing to do with the parliament....the commission are protected from what the peoples of Europe think of them.

The idea that the lackeys swimming in the gravy train would vote out the commission is about as realistic as you typing something sensible up.

'He said he can't vote out the commission'

How amazing, Badger cannot vote out the commission.

A failing of democracy.

He's fallen softly. When May falls it will be with a thunderous thud from which she will never recover.

Sure she made mistakes. I have no idea what they were, precisely, but one thing is certain: to take the perfect path is impossible. Near history will vilify her as people with their own nests to line queue up to attack her. Longer history will show a woman who remained in power against all the odds, doggedly fought the media, the opposition, the EU and her own party with few loyal supporters. And yet...

Brexiteers were warned this would happen, that there would be a fudge. And they were warned in plain English. It was attacked as "Project Fear". Thus, is it fair to blame the person who produced the inevitable fudge.

Somebody was on the radio last night. He actually said that the deal is a rotten one; and the fault is putting a remainer in charge who, consequently, prosecuted the task with little enthusiasm and with the view to retaining the parts of the EU she liked. Honestly!

It didn't take long before Brexiteers blamed Remainers for the mess. Not, of course, the leave vote. Or indeed the Herculean task of passing a deal where the UK is in a 1 -v- 27 battle in Europe; where Brexiteers are in a 1 -v- 6 battle in Parliament (and even worse odds in the Lords); where the country itself hovers from bare majority leave to bare majority stay; and where Brexiteers themselves are fiercely divided as to exactly what they want from any deal.

I am confident a deal will be struck. Big money simply won't allow the catastrophic consequences of failure. We will leave the EU. There will be a certain and predictable exit. And matters will eventally settle to a new equilibrium after initial economic hardship. And then someone will write a nice book about Theresa May and the BBC will commission a 6-part sympathetic series about her premiership.

But before all that...
