The most relevant observation in the article was probably that "The decision by assembly members will not affect the Government's plan to leave the EU at the end of the month."

Boris doesn't need the DUP. But I knew that all the time. Me studied history.
Of course, at some stage most people will realise that there is only one logical endgame.

The UK is facing a constitutional crisis after each of the three devolved administrations voted against Brexit legislation, the SNP's Westminster leader said.
Ian Blackford spoke after the Welsh Assembly voted yesterday to reject the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill - following in the footsteps of the Scottish Parliament and the Northern Ireland Assembly.

I think it’s fair to say that Brexit was always an English project. Views held in the colonies were given rather short shrift.

Then London is now a colony also.

There are several future scenarios. More rational thinking on economics and less ideology. 
It is no longer the Conservative and Unionist party. Disraeli would turn in his grave were he alive today.
They even want to send the Lords to Coventry (I passed through it at the weekend (on the bus)..), er I mean York, beside the train station.
Clever move for BBC CEO to resign. Cummings would probably prefer a more fluid Fox News style..

It is sad. I just hope that they fix the motorway between Morpeth and Hexham.

Which part is not clear? It is a bit of a monologue interiors.

And Westminster tried to overturn Brexit for three years. Don’t pay any attention to what parliaments and assemblies say. It’s the people that matter.

Some of the people some of the time and not all of the people all of the time, and certainly not in all the provinces.

Yeah - I definitely know people there who feel that way.
