Not a great day for the clown

Parliament have voted to take control of the Commons agenda, and will legislate tomorrow against a no-deal Brexit. Boris is threatening to hold a snap election if they vote to delay.

That's pretty much his best option anyway given that today he also lost his majority of one MP. Phillip Lee crossed the House with a shuffling touch of theatre, and I thought nothing could please me more, till I saw the faces of Clarke and May as it happened. It was the Ken and Terry show, most marvellous tory gloating.
