Denying reality

So, surely even the Maybot and her brave band of Brexiteers could not manage to spin the impact assessments that had been leaked, what with them coming from DD department? But yes, they were not complete, initial drafts, not detailing the Governments preferred deal. And so on.

A junior minister who suggested that instead of blind dogma, now was the time for some evidence based thinking? He was disciplined by the whips, not for what he said but for breaking the ministerial code in going against ministerial policy. OK, so where are all of Boris’s reprimands for his repeated violations?

See, all ministers are equal, but some are more equal than others.

And then there was the papers: The Mail was full of enemy of the people mode, turned on The House of Lords as they seek to insert checks and balances on the withdrawal bill, something that the Commons failed to do. But evidence and common sense have no place in Brexit of course.

The Maybot is in China, maybe she’ll stay there.

And all the while as reality piles up, the clock ticks down, and the fact that there is a take it or leave it deal from the EU on transition and Britain has to put that into law.
