Turning tide

British politics offered a brief moment of hope today as the ethical Tories finally rebelled again no-deal Brexit. They’ve been chucked out, and some, at least, should be given medals for the courage of their convictions. Ken Clarke, Dominic Grieve, David Gauke, maybe a few others. On the other hand, Boris and Rees-Mogg both showed their Slytherin faces, spitting abuse and, in Rees-Mogg’s case, slithering over the front benches like a serpent and putting in physical form his evident contempt for parliament.

May the tide be turning. May Brexit be stopped.
