Kicking the can further

So, today May made a statement to the Commons in which she said there would be no vote until the 27th, as there was more renegotiation to be done with the EU.

The EU have sad the WA will not be reopened.

Westminster, and in particular, the 650 MPs have to decide when they step in and do something. Ad then when they feel the time is right, I mean no hurry, what it is they will do.

There is only a limited set of choices, and if no deal is unpalatable, then its between May's WA and no Brexit; how hard is that?

Elsewhere, the BBC went to Spain to interview UK citizens "expats" about how they feel three years after voting to leave the EU, and it turns out that they didn't realise that ending freedom of movement would also apply to them, and given what they know now, would have voted differently.

I am sure they're not the only ones, as areas from Cornwall to Grimsby has asked either for the UK Government to continue the subsidies they enjoy now from the EU, or that some kind of exemption from the realities of Brexit. This, despite they both voted heavily to leave.

Reality also in Sunderland, as the axing of investment and moving of production into the EU makes those project fear predictions all too true.

I have no idea what will happen in the next six and a half weeks, but it will be interesting, but in the end, I see no happy ending.

Sadly.
