Poor Andrew Bridgen on Newsnight knew how long ago the heady days of last month now were, and that he was just a rebel again now.
Some tweak to the backstop, but not so as to annoy the Irish enough to rule out a trade deal with the United States, and, er, that's going to be it. Other than that, Boris Johnson is going to leave Theresa May's Withdrawal Agreement unaltered. Well, he did vote for it often enough.
The likes of the ERG can go hang. As for the Brexit Party, its only function now is to hand 30, 40 or even 50 Conservative seats to the Liberal Democrats, thereby making possible the reconstitution of the Coalition, a highly active Government (more was the pity) that lasted a full five years (more was the pity) before there was any such word as "Brexit".
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. I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham even if I can raise only the deposit, which I could do by going pretty overdrawn, although that was not how I was brought up. Buy the book here.
I would still prefer to raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign, but I am no longer making my candidacy conditional on having done so. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
