This is more contempt of parliament.
It’s bullshit. Delaying the vote is just a ploy to leave less time to organise a second referendum. May is finished anyway, and her reputation as worst PM ever is assured. She should just finish it.
All the congratulations to NASA for another successful landing on Mars. Good to know humanity can still do great things.
Did I hear right on https://www.nasa.gov/nasalive? The principal scientist for Mars Insight is Bruce Banner? Hope he stays clear of gamma rays. And doesn’t get angry.
I just read the phrase “staying under the rule of Brussels” in a foolish article. Instead it should read, “Continuing to contribute to the rule of Europe,” if you want it in terms of ruling. “Continuing to share in Europe’s future development,” to be more about cooperation.
My resignation from Labour has had a bigger impact than I expected:
In an email to Labour Party members this evening, Jeremy Corbyn confirmed that Labour will support the campaign for another public vote on Brexit if a general election is not possible
Our Prime Minister is either lying or deranged. From The Guardian’s live updates:
Labour’s Phil Wilson asks May if she can say, “hand on heart”, that this deal is better than what the UK has now.
May says she firmly believes the UK’s best days are ahead.
Or avoiding the issue: “best days ahead” could be looking ten, twenty years ahead. You know, when we rejoin the EU.

He had a good run, I guess, and created some amazing things. I hope they’ve filmed his cameo for the next Avengers film.
Some Labour MPs are thinking along similar lines to me.
Wes Streeting:
“Labour cannot sit by and allow the choice to be between the economic ruin of a hard Brexit or the loss of sovereignty under Theresa May’s deal, with Britain subjected to EU rules but with no say over them,” he said. “As with any fork in the road, there is always the option of turning back home.
“We know this is a mess made by the Tories, but the Labour party can’t just sit back and watch. It’s time for all of us in the Labour party to make the full-throated case for a people’s vote with the option of remaining in the European Union.
“That leadership must now come from the top, or our party may never be forgiven for the consequences that follow.”
Chris Leslie:
“With even Tory ministers recognising Brexit threatens the poorest in society, our public services and Britain’s place in the world, to have a Labour leader just shrug about it, then go awol, is nothing short of a dereliction of duty.”
OK, they’re maybe not planning to leave the party, but still.
