Well, it now seems that the tories are going to accept that the sky is blue and apples fall downwards and will now be accepting that the lisbon treaty cannot be undone. There will be no referendum.

I still can't work out whether the tories were banking on this or are disappointed. However it's certain that the backwoods europhobes will wail and gnash their teeth for a bit. Whether they have the capability to make trouble for Jellytot Dave is aonther thing we will see over the next couple of months.

Dave from Marketing is reluctantly - oh, so reluctantly - admitting that it's a fait accompli.

Tragically, he's going to have to renege on his heartfelt promise to hold a referendum, now that it's out of his hands.

The faithful will be duly tranquilised - or at least pacified - for now.

I suppose this means that unless someone (note how I don't mention Hannan here) sticks a Westminster knife in his back, the UK won't be leaving the EU just yet, even if the ToryTubbies win the next round of celebrity expenses.
