Update on the labour position

The update is that Corbyn won, in that there will only be a referendum in extraordinary circumstances, and then only maybe.

Labour is now, and has been since Corbyn was elected, a leave party, and voters will have to make their voting choice based on this; if they want Brexit then there are four choices: Conservative, Labour, UKip and Nigel's new "party". Leavers will have to chose between one of the other parties.

It is depressing, a party that should be championing human and worker's rights, supporting a right wing coup.

There will be a heavy price for this in the long term, as this betrayal, and I mean to use that word, will not be forgotten.

Meanwhile, the PM made her first public appearances and words in public in 21 days. At PMQs, then in front of a committee, where she avoided all questions, and gave no answers, only to indicate it was still her way, though she admit there is no way no deal can get through Parliament, though she did not say if it was something she wanted.

So, there we are.

Three weeks into the extra six months, and nothing, at all, new.

Don't waste the time, Tusk said, shouting as the PM ran for the wheat fields to run through.

There are three choices still available: deal, no deal or no brexit. If Parliament is ruling out no deal, and will not vote the WA through, doubly so as there is no enabling bill in sight yet, that leaves just one choice.

But nothing is clear or straightforward in Brexitlalaland.
