Third strike and out

The penny has now dropped with those clever ERG types, that they may have missed the Brexit boat. They twice were able to vote for Brexit, and went the other way.

It is now possible that they might not get any Brexit at all.

HMS Brexit is now in serious trouble. Some Ministers are saying, in public, that revocation is better than no deal, if the WA cannot pass.

And now the ERG is split, split into those who see Brexit slipping through their fingers and escaping; so people like JRM how have to backtrack and say they back the PM and her WA despite it making UK a vassal state and so on, and the true Brexit believers.

With Bercow's ruling last week on blocking MV3, MPs see other possibilities now, not just a stark deal or no deal. Revocation is a possibility, where a week ago no one was talking about it.

The DUP is now talking of a long extension, but for what reason, more can kicking? There has to be a reason for the EU to allow it, if they think they could kill Brexit by denying an extension now, would they?

The only cloud on the horizon is that all communication between the UK and the EU is through the PM, and if she does not want to play ball now that Parliament is in control, then dumping her could take time and the country might slip into no deal by accident.

I hope those who read my words realise that the day when Brexit and reality would eventually meet would be something like this, are not surprised not that it has happened, but that it took this long.

A long way to go, but the landscape is changing. Fast.
