The start of the end

Today, in a series of contradictory votes, but it ended up with the Government winning the vote, just, that instructed May to request a long or longer delay in A50. Ten, in the next vote, The Commons overwhelmingly voted that Government policy was to request a delay to the A50 process.

I have no idea what the difference was, and I am guessing neither did the Government.

But, twelve ministers voted against the Government's triple whipped motion:

- Steve Barclay
- Jake Berry
- Alex
- Alun Cairns
- Liam Fox
- Chris
- Trudy Harrison
- Robert
- Kwasi
- Andrea Leadsom.
- Jack Lospreti.
- Kit Malthouse.

And a Government whip abstained.

All of the above would normally be a resignation matter. But at Government in office but not in power, it is just another day.

So, the Government's own position is that it needs an extension to A50, the one option it had which it dies not have control over. As readers of these posts know, an extension is a gift of the EU27, unanimously, and just one tiny weeny country says no, then Brexit still happens on 29th March, as, as a matter of international law, the UK leaves the EU on that date when the Articles of the European Union will no longer apply.

We have been saying this for months. Years. But we were ignored. Brexiteers have had enough of experts. So here we are, begging the EU for an extension that was obvious to anyone who thought that triggering a two year A50 without a plan and without a clue would bring us here. And yet, here we are.

Up a creek without a paddle. Or a canoe. Or a creek.

Jesus, what a clusterfuck.

And May plans to offer MV #3 next week, in an attempt to get it through, but even then as under "leader of the House" Andrea Leadsome, the legislation is so far behind, even in no deal, there is no time to get it all passed.

Labour under Corbyn are a confused mess, backing a second referendum, then changing his mond, and half an hour later saying his party supported it. I wouldn't trust him to tell the time. Heck, I would rather May were PM than him, as May might be an irrational xenophobe, at least she is consistent.

We have the worst Government in history, lead by the worse PM, and yet the Conservatives at points behind in the polls.

Think about that.

And when the Independent Group turn into a party, it will get worse.
