“Former ministers plan to hijack Brexit on Tuesday”
Personally, I can’t think of anything worse than a country governed by the current crop of backbench lunatics, and that’s saying something. Any ability to govern would swiftly walk down toilet street and leave all of us in the hands of a combative rabble. https://t.co/LB8cUYIupZ

No surprise. I don’t think that this is a “bombshell”. The Brexit is about a few politicians and investors taking back control in order rule their citizens with less interference from Europe. Therefore the politicians’ battle is about how to instrumentalize the Brexit, not about giving people the opportunity to rethink their decision based on updated knowledge.

Dining to Leave
One dinner guest, Hardy McLain, attended dinners in 2017 and 2018 and previously donated £20,000 to the Vote Leave campaign. The firm he founded was previously linked to attempts to “profit from Brexit uncertainty”.
I missed this at the time, but this article from July 2018 about the people who have collectively paid over £7,000,000 to dine with Theresa May and senior ministers since TM came to office is fascinating…https://t.co/HKt1Vw8ipf

“But the principal failing occurred in the sailing”
I reshuffled some lines of The Hunting of the Snark a bit:
“Just the place for a Snark!” the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.“Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true.”
Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes:
A thing, as the Bellman remarked,
That frequently happens in tropical climes,
When a vessel is, so to speak, “snarked.”But the principal failing occurred in the sailing,
And the Bellman, perplexed and distressed,
Said he had hoped, at least, when the wind blew due East,
That the ship would not travel due West!
This was charming, no doubt; but they shortly found out
That the Captain they trusted so well
Had only one notion for crossing the ocean,
And that was to tingle his bell.
“The thing shall be done!”
349 “The thing can be done,” said the Butcher, “I think.
350 The thing must be done, I am sure.
351 The thing shall be done! …”
