I don't really know why we are bothering with the choreography of May/Corbyn talks. They will not do a deal and we will inevitably progress to more indicative votes, but this time with Government buy-in. Why don't we just get on with that?

The thing about a ‘flextension’ is that Article 50 already says "The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification” – just a rebrand? https://t.co/T6SImN29FP

If I’d had any doubt about my decision to leave the Conservative Party – and I don’t – 45 minutes listening to Conservative peers dressing up their desire for a hard Brexit in bogus constitutional outrage would have put a stop to it. Pure humbug.
