I listened to a bunch of MPs this morning who were saying they need more time to consider their options on Brexit! FFS, they've had three bloody years! No wonder much of the public has lost patience with MPs.
I know MPs complain about the amount of abuse they, and certainly much of the stuff is totally unjustified. But sometimes some of them make me want to weep.There's a deal on the table, and no guarantee that the EU will negotiate further. It's a poor deal, but it is because our negotiating strategy has been hopelessly weak. Agree it and then talk about the future relationship. Otherwise we'll be at the cliff edge in three weeks time.The MPs are like squabbling kids. You have the urge to bang their heads together.
Scary stuff at Parliament right now. May just said that she wouldn't accept customs union membership even if MPs voted for it. f**king hell.

Conversely a grown up house of commons would not of spent the last 2 years undermining the UK negotiating position. It would have presented a United front to ensure an better deal could be struck.
The Oliver Left-wing amendment has been carried. Brexit is now over. A dreadful day for democracy. Goodnight and goodbye.

I'm not that naive to think that, we will never know what may have been achieved in other areas though do we? I can't get my head round not doing everything possible to get the best deal THEN debate it rather than pull everything to pieces through the whole process.
