It's laughable that Theresa May, who has serially tried to undermine parliamentary democracy and who has even been successfully taken to court over it, is now threatening that MPs would be fatally undermining democracy if they don't vote for her deal tomorrow. The whole point of tomorrow's vote (which she undemocratically postponed) was to give MPs a meaningful democratic voice over her deal. Now she's invoking a mini-Project Fear instead of making the argument for the deal, and she's lying about the "legality" of the gentle encouraging whimpers she's getting from the EU. Doubtless she'll bring her discredited deal back again and again in the coming weeks with tiny tweaks intended to get the result she wants. And these people have the gall to criticise those who call for a people's vote on the grounds that we just want to keep trying until we get the result we want...

Whatever happens tomorrow, and I hope the deal gets so comprehensively trounced that it'll have no way back, anything would be better than this woman carrying on being our PM. Almost, anyhow.
