Farage having a hissy because an mp resigns over brexit
Not sure I like Grieveās new ammendment at all. The meaningful vote really ought to be a no brainer. Whatever happens from here on in, history will surely crucify anyone whoās against this
Meanwhile ā¦
Phillip Lee has just resigned from the Government to campaign against Brexit. This just about maintains the proud record of a minister overboard every six weeks since the Autumn reshuffle.

Hadnāt paid any attention to him before, but he actually seems to be thinking about the future of the country rather than just himself - unusual for this shower of a āgovernmentā
Well, neither did Maybot. Itās DOA say the whips, so hopefully some fireworks tonight
The last minute amendment Grieve tabled looks like it was designed to be rejected by the Govt. He can now rally the troops and rebel while waving the āI did everything I could butā¦ā flag.
Meanwhile, Phillip Lee has really gone for itā¦
Have a read of this thread:
He goes on to demand a referendum on the final deal which is a bit fecking stupid. Just deal with it properly in Parliament please.

If anyone should ever ask you what talking gammon looks like, well it looks like this
Edward Leigh - giving red meat a bad name.
The phrase he used most in the short clip on the BBC (to be fair, probably selected to make him look as thick-headed as possible) was āI donāt understand ā¦ā. Well Iām not going to disagree with that ā¦

Iām not sure Iām entirely clear on whatās up or down. And it seems the government isnāt either.
No doubt thereāll be some Tory bloodsport until it arrives in the Lords in however many days it is.
Christ, the actual fucking state of him. Did the camera crew max out the saturation on the camera, or is he actually that Gammon? Amazing
So a knob then

I wonder how big the Labour rebellion will be today over the Norway + amendment? Interesting day for him after Mrs May avoided/delayed disaster narrowly yesterday.
