    Until next time they try to push through something similarly stupid. Now it’s EU’s turn to make their mind too.

    If they knew it wasn’t going to work, why ask for it at the first place. Red herring? Ask for something big to trade for something smaller? Drama for the bored?

      I think it may be a case of the blind attempting to lead the visually capable. I think most uk politicians have ZERO technical knowledge required to make such a decision without advice of Industry professionals.

    This is a temporary reprieve, that’s all and is only one part of the overall bill, which will almost certainly go through Parliament successfully.
