Morning all.

Not quite sure that describes the last two years mind....

I'm afraid that the likes of Rees Mogg and Redwood being totally unbothered by Grieve's latest "government concession" pretty much sums it up for me.

Any good news for them is bad for the rest of us.

As the Government will be whipping the vote on Monday, this means I am resigning from the Government. It has been an honour to serve the Prime Minister (and her predecessor) for the last 7 years and I wish the PM & the Government every continuing success.
So, Boris, what to do eh?
