    That's pretty bonkers, it must be said.

    Still saner than Soubry, mind.

    The thing is, Soubry wants the Norway model, which isn't *completely* bonkers.

    That's the point though. I have been unable to establish what she wants (and I congratulate you for having done so) as I am unable to decipher her meaning through the shrill, hectoring paranoid nonsense she foghorns out every time she speaks.

    If you look for a definition of 'indefatigable termagant' you will find her name together with a picture of Jess Philips.

    Yeah, it's leeetle beeet of a shame that she's portrayed as such due to her theatrical performances in Parliament, when she infact holds a pretty moderate position (certainly compared with yer Adonises et al) and, as far as I know, has never called for Brexit to be scrapped or even for a second ref.

    The one thing she does always say that annoys me is "no-one voted to be poorer", which is annoying as they demonstrably did.

    No they didn't - they voted for a less certain short term future in the hope that the long term future would be better and more philosophically aligned with their views of how the country should be run.

    Other than the old people who voted to keep out the *inevitable* onslaught of swarthy looking people into their bucolic villages, of course.

    Yes, they voted in the knowledge that there may be a detrimental short-to-medium term economic impact, or to put it another way, "to be poorer"

    Excuse me, how do you know what they voted for ? Not everyone will be poorer by Brexit, so stop generalisations as it does nothing for your reasoning

    Careful, m. You're in danger of ascribing intellectual agency to Leave voters. There'll be someone along to tell you an anecdote about their sister-in-law that proves they're all idiots any minute.

    On the other hand, she was on Today this morning calling for a 'Government of National Unity', which would seem to me to be a gross betrayal of the Party and voters she purports to represent. Meanwhile, of course, the ERG - who are actually seeking to ensure the Government sticks to its manifesto pledges - are described as 'rebels'. Go figure.

    God, I can't bear to listen to it any more. I'm firmly fingers-in-ears-i-can't-hear-you.

    Pretty soon it will all work out one way or another. The sun will continue to rise and set, life will go on.

    Everyone needs to take a step back and just... breathe.
