When they still don't get the message

So, the Conservatives surpassed all expectations which forecasted they would lose 500 council seats, to more than double that to 100 or so.

Labour lost nearly a hundred.

Whilst the staunch remainer parties of the LibDems and Greens won hundreds of seats.

And yet both May and Corbyn declared that the result meant that the electorate want Brexit done ASAP.

Is that how they read it? Because coming two years after May called for people to vote for her in support of her hard Brexit stand, and in doing so losing her majority in the Commons, what will it take for May and Corbyn to stop and think, maybe, we should moderate, reach out?

Probably never.

Brexit, or the WA part, could and should have been done and dusted. But the ERG voted against it three times, twice en mass, and now have little chance of voting for it again, not that they would vote for it. Brexiteers prefer to be in opposition, proclaiming betrayal, when that is what they want. What they didn't want was to actually win, meaning they had to actually face up to the lies they have been spinning for years and decades.

Even JRM's constituency voted overwhelmingly for remain parties.

Some went with even greater swings, up to 75%. I mean, that's not people saying do it quicker, that's people begging, demanding just to stop.

May and Corbyn might come to an agreement. May might even get the WA through the Commons. The Withdrawal Agreement Implementation Bill is another matter, and stands no chance, as that will lay bare the spin and deception.

Still, it will be funny, in a gallows humour kind of way.
