The drama of Brexit refuses to die down. After the Commons seizing the order of the day and carrying out indicative votes, no one solution surfaced as a winner, although Customs Union and People's Vote failed by only a few votes.
Then yesterday, after 7 hours of Cabinet, Theresa May agreed to discuss options with the Labour Party. That meeting took place today, described as "constructive talks". But May still wants to get agreement by next week with a delay in leaving until 22nd May. I don't think the EU will agree to this, as I don't think the talks will resolve this week. Meanwhile the ERG are looking for blood. It's interesting because on paper the Conservative Party cannot force May out as they had a vote last December. Will this be the beginning of the men in grey suits?
What I am hoping for is a long extension with a public inquiry into what kind of Brexit, if any, is feasible. Then, once agreed, it is put to a public vote.
Now tonight the Commons failed by a tie-break to take control of the order paper next week for further indicative votes, when Bercow ruled against the motion. MPs are currently voting on the Cooper bill to prevent a no-deal. This will guarantee by law that we don't crash out of the EU if no deal is agreed by April 12th.
Tomorrow I have tests at the clinic. Will be nice to have taken the day off work.
