Trying not to be too positive

Over the last 32 months or so, it has been hard to be anything but depressed about what is happening with Brexit.

None of it makes any kind of sense, it it is economically and politically illiterate, pushed by people who care nothing for facts and experts, don't listen when advised how things could be done better or different.

Watching it unfold is like watching a car crash in slow motion, as each step has been forecasted, and seeing May and the Brexiteers fall into the traps their own ineptitude caused would be funny, if not so much were at stake.

But we are here now, in a week which should, but might not, define the future of Brexit and the country.

Labour's change of position on a 2nd (or 3rd) referendum is welcome, but as with Comrade Corbyn, it is not clear whether this is just a ploy to deflect some of the blame for a disastrous Brexit in the future when they can point and see we backed a new referendum. That the phrase "Tory Brexit" was used hints that Corbyn might still believe that a Labour Brexit would be better.

His long term goal is an election, but with his part's poll numbers in free fall after the forming of The Independent Group, that plan might have changed.

But no one knows for sure.

The papers this morning have been largely supportive of Labour's change, with the exception of The Express who thunder that the only vote the country needed was in 2016. And yet MPs are allowed vote after vote to decide what Brexit means, and yet the country knew exactly what it voted for nearly three years ago.

Each day brings new dramas, so buckle up for Tuesday in Brexitlalaland.

Many MPs are demanding that "no deal" Brexit is taken "off the table". But the problem with that is that no dea is the default position as a matter of both UK and international law. So, to avoid no deal then some other course of action needs to be agreed upon by Parliament and made into law, thus changing UK law and instructing the Government to either amend or revoke the A50.

The three choices are:

1. Vote for the negotiated WA (May's deal)

2. Instruct the Government to request from the EU27 an extension to A50.

3. Instruct the Government to revoke A50.

Those are the three choices. No more.

Decide.

Now.

In fact May's insistence on repeat presenting of the WA is a real attempt to take no deal off the table, that The Commons keep rejecting it, means that no deal is very much on the table and the default.
