There is a paragraph about two thirds of the way into this, you’ll know it when you read it, that rolls three years for Tory brexit strategy into about two lines. I commend it.
‘Mark Francois is the Westminster equivalent of one of those zoo chimps, probably driven mad by confinement, who furiously masturbate in front of tourists.’
When the public inquiry into this full-spectrum political breakdown eventually convenes, it would be nice to think it may call a variety of psychologists as professional witnesses. By then, you can be sure, people will have had enough of having had enough of experts. The nation will deserve to know quite why Brexiters decided an intensely complex and nuanced matter was best understood in terms of the second world war or their own virility. Why was their penis or the Third Reich always treated as Brexit’s Rosetta stone?

The bit about gravity? I laughed like a drain on a crowded train last night at that.

She should get a very good book out of it for sure. Though quite where it ends who knows?

The only people winning in this farce are political columnists and satirists.

She writes well but she does write for the Grauniad.
