Westministenders: A Special Place in Hell

[RedToothBrush]

A quick start to a new thread (as I've not been paying attention this evening!).

May is looking to ditch the Malthouse Compromise. Cos its so rubbish.

The ERG look like they are splitting over it anyway.

Up to sixty Labour MPs could back the WA.

Half the ERG plus Labour Leave Rebels could be enough to get the WA over the line.

Donald Tusk, makes controversial comment by more or less stating the obvious.

P motherfuckin k

.

And DD published a draft free trade agreement today in what I presume is an attempt to make it look like he actually did do some work as brexit sec. But unfortunately (fortunately?) it didn't really get much coverage. And I expect when/if it does no journalist will point out that you need the WA first.

Tusk stole his thunder.

PMK.

Keep waking up a few hours after falling asleep and then can't get back to sleep and this clusterfuck goes round and round in my head. I'd love a cup of tea and a toasted muffin but the kitchen is two floors away and I'd be weeing all night if I drank tea now

With each new days comes greater despair at what our leaders are doing to not just our country but others too. I too have cried for the predictable effects on the fragile peace in N

Waves at fellow night owl perverse. DS sleep is all over the place at the moment. So I am awake again. And now craving a muffin.

@SusanWalker my ds is fidgeting next to me. He had a nap this afternoon which meant there was no chance of him settling in his own bed before I needed to be asleep so I've let him in with me. He's very cute but a fidget and a bed hog. Tries to sleep horizontally across the bed or ends up squashing me to the far side of my side. I do love it when he creeps in my bed though. At the weekend I was awoken to him soften singing old Mac Donald had a farm into my back.
I'm going to try and sleep now. Coming onto MN was probably a bad idea but it's nice to know others are awake too and helps me feel less alone in my worrying. Maybe I keep waking up in the night to see if brexit has been a bad dream

Wait until he's bigger than you but still needs occasional night time snuggles....

Thanks once more Red. If I was more awake I'd be cracking a joke about Faustian pacts and the DUP, but my mind is too tired zzzzzzz

Signing in for the night shift.

Can't sleep either.

Can't understand why people aren't more angry about being held hostage by a corrupt, incompetent government and having the threat of Brexit chaos held over us.

How

Keep waking up a few hours after falling asleep and then can't get back to sleep and this clusterfuck goes round and round in my head.

Me too - that's six of us on the night shift. I think it's hormones though (or reduction of them).

Palaeolithic Maladroit Kleptocracy.

I have this theory that in periods of change like teenage and menopause years we are more vulnerable so... I think our bodies try and protect us by trying to be active at night when it's quiet and would prefer sleeping in the day when more threats are about. Just a theory.

Not suggesting everyone is hormonal - there is enough worry to keep anyone awake.

I like that theory, *lonelyametmu
*.

Surely the levels of self interest in the HoC must reach critical mass soon - will there be a bang or a whimper?

Thanks thecat .

Woken up by the wind, finding it difficult to get back to sleep. How can anyone sleep easily at the moment?
When will all the other frogs realise that we are being boiled?

Trying to keep up.

No surprise that TM would delay the vote until the last minute. Her version of democracy has always involved setting a timed process in motion and then running down the clock, wasting everyone's time, wasting vast amounts of money, and endless arrogance..

Place marking

Plaice mat/cat king

Duck you, David Cameron

Gulp

Placemarking. Thanks again Red.

PMK

Place marking .

Hormonal? Ha. Yep. Full on perimenopausal hell here...😩
I might just stick my HRT patches all over my body like happy little post it notes?
😂
Well I'm awake stupidly early again.
Ffs.

Thanks red

I’ve long thought JC is barking up the wrong tree with regard to preserving his voter base. And now a union report finds that he may lose 45 seats if he doesn’t oppose Brexit.

Not opposing Brexit could lose Labour 45 seats, says leaked report

... if Labour supports the implementation of Brexit it will lose an additional 45 seats in an election, compared with 11 if it opposes Brexit.
A more vociferous opposition to Brexit would win the party an additional five seats.
The party could lose five of its seven MPs in Scotland by being pro-Brexit.
