The antics of politicians over the last couple of days beggars belief at time. It brings to mind John Majors famous description of the Euro-sceptics in his cabinet as "bastards". Poor old Theresa May has got several more each with the proverbial knife hidden in their togas.
Her "allies" in the DUP have turned out to be "fair-weather friends" though they are getting pressure from farmers in Ulster to accept the deal. In fact there's quite a lot of business support for the deal, but hey we've had our money.
Labour aren't much better. In fact listening to Corbyn I'm not entirely sure exactly what they want our of Brexit. Most Labour MPs are remainers but represent lots of constituencies that voted to leave the EU. Corbyn is anti-EU, but all these young people he attracted are pro-EU but they don't appear to have noticed that St Jeremy is not what he seems.
Boris is waiting in the wings to take May's crown but polls suggest less people trust him to negotiate Brexit than Jeremy Corbyn which given Corbyn has never negotiated anything in his life should be a real worry for the untidy minded one.
As for alternatives no one seems to have one except we could just leave or maybe remain or maybe have a second referendum or a general Election. The options are seemingly endless given how divided not only our politicians a re but also the country, though opinion polls suggest staying has a majority.
What do we do next? Fuck knows...
