Untagged By Adulthood

While the entire Parliamentary Labour Party is going to vote against whatever Theresa May brings back from Brussels, certain people who are struggling to adjust to puberty are losing their minds because 50 Conservative MPs have apparently adopted an hashtag.

Nothing else. Just a hashtag. That in itself is student politics, and not even very good student politics. But 50 Conservative MPs is negligible. It is barely one in six, and even that will go down once the chips have done so.

Those MPs will deserve to be treated with absolutely no seriousness whatever until they do in fact stage their challenge to May's Leadership. But they are never going to do that, so they are never going to deserve to be treated with any seriousness whatever.

Having seen the nation and the world laugh out the idea of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister, their latest chitter-chatter is of David Davis, the man who purportedly oversaw what little Brexit negotiations there ever were. Student politics, and not even very good student politics. A hashtag. Nothing else. Just a hashtag. I ask you.
