Vince Cable, leader of the Liberal Democrats, said: "It looks logistically impossible for the Conservatives to get the statutory instruments resulting from their EU (Withdrawal) Bill through Parliament before their preferred Brexit date of March next year.

"The only way they would have a fighting chance would be to cancel Christmas and summer holidays for MPs. That might upset their backbenchers, but we'll oppose their shambolic Brexit wherever, whenever.


How amusing. So MPs are being challenged to say which is more important

- the role of Parliament and proper scrutiny of bills affecting every aspect of UK life.

Or

- their holidays.


I think we can guess the answer.
