The Sin Bin • Re: Brexit Anyone ? (part 3)
Interesting development - the Tories wheel out their grandstanding AG to yell at the opposition benches like a low-rent Brian Blessed in an am-dram production, defending the fact that he has put his party in contempt of Parliament by refusing to publish the full version of his legal advice, because it's "not in the public interest." A cross-party group responds by tabling a motion of contempt, and the speaker grants it time - so the Tories use parliamentary jiggery-pokery to have it kicked into the long grass.
This is desperate stuff - and for a party who claimed to want to take back sovereignty of the HoP, they're doing a pretty good job of riding roughshod over its powers in a desperate attempt to cling on to office.
Meanwhile, Ministers have been briefed to visit foodbanks, and duly do so over the weekend, posing for pictures like ghoulish trophy hunters and using copy/pasted 'approved' text to publicise their support for a societal ill that their own policies created. We really are living in the most turgid political period in living memory - I'm embarrassed to be part of it.
