“The darkest hour comes just before the dawn,” as the saying goes. Well, I don’t know how much darker it can get than it is now: the Flatulent Leader holds office with a majority of 80, and the country is staring down the very barrel of a no-deal exit from the EU; Labour once again is tied up in its own convulsions and the Greens, LibDems and SNP are nowhere to be seen.

Even worse, the best hope Labour have got, Keir Starmer, now says that as far as he is concerned the Brexit decision has been taken and his goal is to try and find a workable “solution.”

It is hard to believe that the majority of voters do not want Brexit at all, and that millions marched against it as visibly as you like. All to no effect, apparently.
