Boris Johnson couldn’t win a vote in a rotten borough populated only by three rather mangy cows, a dachshund named Colin, and a small hen in its late forties.

PuzzledPolitico made a prediction – or a wish.
No confidence 9 am tomorrow.
Margaret Beckett in an Uber up the Mall at 10 am.
At 11 am PM Beckett confirms that she is revoking Article 50. We will examine our role in Europe after Trump and Putin and Xi have left office.
Johnson, Gove and Cummings arrested at noon.
Do it.
