Thing about being on holiday, is doing all the holiday stuff, editing photos and then writing about what we did, and then trying to keep up to date on the ongoing clusterfuck back home.
Today, the Government tried to bring back the MV or whatever it was for the WA, but the Speaker disallowed it on th basis that he stopped May bringing her MV back, it is against convention.
Back then, JRM backed his decision, but now as Leader of the House and responsible for getting legislation through the House, he disagrees.
Apparently forgot what he said just a few months ago.
Tonight, the Government released the Withdrawal Agreement Bill (WAB), and plan to give Parliament just two days to read, debate and vote on it.
All the talk of restoring sovereignty to Parliament always was bollocks, when it now clearly about railroading what the executive wants.
If the bill is passed, then it allows the Government to walk out of negotiation on trade with the EU with no deal in place, so the cliffedge is just 14 months later. This was always true, but to see this now as Government policy is shocking.
And Parliament is weary. The country is weary Of Brexit, but now, right at the end, nerves need to be held.
Failure to have at least two weeks scrutiny on what the WAB will be dereliction of duty by Parliament, and a sham of democracy.
This is the true face of Brexit.
