Tonight was supposed to be the last night before we left the European Union. The famous Halloween Brexit, drummed into the country through television advertising, social media and no-doubt email spamming (hopefully only for those who had opted in for such nonsense), has mysteriously come to a juddering halt. The minting of the 50p celebratory coins has stopped. All money wasted. Johnson said he would rather "die in a ditch" than not fulfill his promise to leave the EU on 31st October.
He has failed.
He has failed because Brexit is impossible to achieve. Instead he has insisted on an election. Another election to mix up the Parliamentary mathematics with a last gasp hope that he might win a large enough majority to have another go. It is also a convenient smokescreen, to distract the public who really should be asking where the ditch is and why is he not lying in it.
So in about six weeks, on 12th December, we face a General Election. On my work Christmas Party night of all days. I await with interest to see if we get yet another hung Parliament. Lots of MPs are already quitting whilst they are ahead but there are also plenty of Brexit fanatics that I hope will face humiliation on Friday 13th December.
What a nice Christmas present that would be.
