It seems the EU have collectively decided that its not worth their while meeting Bojo because his red lines are incompatible with theirs, and because he has no prospect of getting a deal ratified by the House of Commons anyway.

So its either a general election which BoJo can win with 30% of the vote with the Remain vote fairly evenly divided between Labour and the Lib Dems, or a referendum in which he has to get 50%.

You'd think that would concentrate the minds of the anti-Boris majority wonderfully and force them to vote no confidence and form a caretaker government with a mandate to extend A.50 and organise a referendum.

But NOOO! Apparently Ex-Labour MP Woodcock thinks Jeremy Corbyn could do more damage to UK National security in `few short weeks' as caretaker PM than Cambridge 5 spy ring did over decades.

With that level of madness, hatred, and division in the opposition ranks, it seems even the chaos of a no deal Brexit is preferable. Some of these people need to grow up, but there is too little time to change the nappies now...

PS I have just become a grandfather again, so changing nappies is on my mind...
