A party capable of losing Nick Boles whilst being unable to shake off Mark Francois has substantial issues that go well beyond the matter of the moment. https://t.co/LfSBeSCD7j

It says a lot about the state of British politics that the strangest thing to have happened today in the chamber of the House of Commons was not a collective striptease in the public gallery.

A fundamental flaw with Brexit was that the referendum was treated as binding when it was not, and the Article 50 notification has been treated as non-binding when it was not.

Everyone who signed the Revoke A50 petition will find it as disgusting as I did to learn that not a single @Conservatives MP was present when it was debated today. Not one. pic.twitter.com/DeTYkVL4eT

Thread.
If there's one thing Britain loves more than being shit at things, and idiots on telly, it's saying "I told you so". Fuck it, bring on No Deal. Watch the whole country collapse in on itself, watch people die, watch thousands lose their jobs. Go for it, you useless pricks.

It's odd of Trump to claim exoneration when so many of his team we're convicted, but it's time to focus on defending the nation, and world, from Trumpism. My new column: https://t.co/c2DFEMMkVZ
