Judging from the comments on LBC this morning, MPs have done excellent job. An amendment for a second referendum would be the icing on the cake.

And if the EU ratify the deal this week, it looks like we're leaving anyway, since EU law trumps UK law. It would be ironic if the EU impose their deal on the UK against the will of Parliament.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment
