By Hook Or By Crook

But who needs the DUP, anyway? Boris Johnson is relying on enough Labour rebels to get him over the line without them. Next up, then, a "confirmatory referendum". Leading to a Remain vote, because even Remain really would be better than this deal. Johnson will pretend to oppose such a referendum, and he will bellyache on television when the House of Commons voted for it. But he will hold it. He has never really believed in Brexit, anyway.

At one time, Dominic Cummings probably did believe in Brexit. But the thing about megalomaniacs is that no stage or canvas is ever big enough for them. Cummings might have been content with running a post-Brexit Britain, until his move into 10 Downing Street made him aware of the rest of the world, or at least of the EU. So, by hook or by crook, we are not Leaving after all. And then he intends to take over Europe.

Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party is now in the process of registration. After nearly 30 years of suggestion, speculation, and even a sort of preparation, I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham. The crowdfunding page is here, and buy the book here. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
