The fawning journalists, the normalisation of bigotry etc was all so predicably Trumpian. For me, the most important and telling development was the defeat of the cross-party motion:<br /><br />LabourList understands that only Melanie Onn, *Ruth Smeeth* and *Gareth Snell* abstained intentionally.<br /><br />How, on earth, could they both do that?

Hence, having voted to hold a referendum, having voted to trigger A50, they are now in a holding pattern entirely of their own creation. <br /><br />What is needed right now is someone to break this. The only person right now who looks like they can do this is Boris.<br /><br />I'm well aware of all his faults. But when you hire someone to do a job, you hire them because they can do that job.Dippernoreply@blogger.com
