What now?

Good question.

And one with no clear answer.

It is said that May wants to bring MV4, thus giving MPs a third chance to change their mind. The electorate have been given no such luxury, lest they vote the wrong way.

To call this a farce would be giving farces a bad name, this is now a national embarrassment, as May as PM has no idea what to do, except the same thing as she has done for the last three years.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world looks on thinking, quite correctly, that we have lost our collective mind.

Monday sees the Commons in charge of the orders papers, and there will be another round of indicative votes, which may or may not come up with a popular plan B, that the first one eliminated "Norway plus" and no deal means that things are moving forward. More movement than in three years of Brexiteer controlled chaos.

To call Johnson a tinpot Churchill would be rude to tinpots.

He and JRM compomised their already compromised positions by switching to support the PM to try and get some kind of Brexit, Johnson thought he would be PM in a few weeks. Instead the vote was lost.

The DUP have now said that if the price of Brexit is to destroy the Union of the United Kingdom, then maybe we should just stay.

Well.

I enjoyed an article this morning via the New York Times discussing how Brexit seems only to be a long series of what folks don't want, with no one having a clear idea what they DO want (other than those on the extreme Right).

You cannot readily write policy in the negative. You would have thought seasoned political operatives would have figured this out by now.

Its what I have been saying for nearly three years, those pushing Brexit really have no idea on how to deliver, and in some cases have had their whole political career to come up with a plan.

Triggering the A50 process with no idea of what the UK wanted at the end, was a mistake, but this is not Brexit, but the backstop is the key, as that will shape the future relationship between the UK and EU.
