Every morning seems the same here in the UK, like groundhog day. The latest on parliament, the EU and Brexit.

• What Theresa May said
• Theresa’s deal
• what Junker/Barnier/Tusk said
• what Merkel or Macron said
• who gave her short shrift
• which cabinet ministers said what
• cabinet splits
• who just resigned
• the Northern Ireland border
• the DUP won’t agree to anything (apparently)
• frictionless trade
• no deal
• hard and soft brexit
• managed no deal (what in God’s name is that?)
• people’s vote
• people didn’t know what they were voting for
• the will of the people
• cannot let down the people who by chance I happen to agree with
• where Labour stands
• the five tests
• vote of no-confidence
• no majority in parliament for any deal
• bring back control
• fishing grounds
• THEY are not being flexible
• and on and on.

Thank God they’re about to break up for ‘Christmas’.

And yet, it’s disgraceful that government/parliament is taking time off when this riven, blighted country is about to fall of a cliff – all of their own making.
