I can't help by imagine what might be going on behind the scenes in a The Thick of It kind of way.

Malcolm Tucker would be loving this.

Did I say I was?

Anyway, life here is just starting to get interesting.

Ha ha. You really are embarrassing yourself these days.

So 'Gammon' is not racist? And ageist.

Please don't remove head from arse. You are the comedy relief.

Well the two go hand in hand surely?

May never had a chance - she was given an impossible task and could only ever fail to achieve it.

Gove just refused the poison chalice I see.

Just needed to add that the whole Brexit debacle is an embarrassment to the UK. Voters got the chance to vote between remain (the known quantity) and leave, which was not defined in any way, shape, or form. It's a blank canvas that whoever the PM is can fulfill in any of hundreds of ways.

As the results of of the Brexit referendum where known, analysts were saying that the EU would have trouble putting together a united front, while the UK had a singular one. But the exact opposite has been proved true, the other 27 members of the EU have united to back a single position, while the UK's position can be described as "uncertain" at best, and personally I would describe as a s***storm.

The referendum should never have happened in the form it did. It was inviting people to vote emotively on a binary proposition, with no clear outcome defined (on the leave side at least). I'm not saying the people shouldn't be consulted (I believe they should), but it was handled so cack-handedly. Frankly, I think we deserve what we get, whatever that might be.

But this was a junior-school approach to determining the economic (and to some degree political) future of what is still (for now) one of the most influential and prominent countries in the world. And that is unforgivable.

To propose something like this with no alternative plan in place is mind boggling. The truth is there was no alternative proposition in place before people went to the polls. And that is beyond idiocy IMO.
