    To re-post from the end of the last thread, as it's so important now. :

    61/39 in favour of remain over her deal is a huge margin.

    Parliament is not currently doing its representative job ; or rather the party machines that enable it to are not.

    It was a very odd attack. The obvious attack was he doesn't want more than 3 months either, but his approach is to go for super rare unicorn poop, rather than just standard unicorn poop.

    Mr Urquhart,

    I can honestly say I've never met a vegan in this neck of the woods. I suppose there must be a few, keeping their guilty secret hidden. The vice that dare not speak its name. It must be a Southern affliction, but obviously part of life's rich tapestry.

    Fortunately, my daughter didn't marry one.
