So Priti Patel has "resigned." Took long enough, didn't it! I strongly suspect that she didn't even know that the UK doesn't recognise Israel's occupation of a piece of Syria. What she was trying to do secretly was constitutionally impossible, so what was all that about! Now May has another militant brexiteer on the back benches. So we've had Priti, we've had tax-dodging on a monumental scale and we've had institutionalised groping and internet porn-at-work for Theresa's second-in-command (or shall we be charitable and assume that he's given it up?) It's even been suggested that one poor young woman in question can't tell the difference between a dangling tablecloth and a mauler's hand, m'lud!

So what's today's brexit news? Oh, I almost forgot, what with being swamped by these massive diversions, that we're supposed to be leaving the EU and that this distracted and undisciplined shower are in charge of getting us "a deal." If you want to hear about just one of the horrible messes we're in, listen to Radio 4's "Brexit for the Confused" broadcast today. Jesus, we're in deep doodah. Neck bloody deep in the Big Muddy.
