Have had unintended consequences:

And now neither Cameron or Osborne can fix this mess. Thanks to the Fixed-Term Parliament Act we will now have a guaranteed no-deal Brexit on the 31st October. Even should Boris lose a no-confidence vote he need only call the election to happen after the legally mandated Brexit date has passed.

Boris and chums are still trying to throw the GFA under a bus, however the US Irish caucus may have something to say about that. I know, as I have rellies who are part of that US Irish caucus, and rellies on both sides of the Irish Border, and the family grapevine yields the odd snippets of intent.

The stupid fucking Brexit berserkers don’t seem to have taken the US Irish lobby into account in their blanket dismissal of the New Irish Question. I hope they are prepared to accept the blame when it all goes wrong. Because they will be blamed, both publicly and privately. Here is an analysis from an Irish person on the border.

I did hear that the Camerons and Osbornes were snubbed quite a bit after the Brexit vote. I wonder if the authors of the Fixed-Term Parliament Act will feel the same chill social wind?

The UK’s constitutional crisis continues to unfold as predicted. So far each of the points have been reached and ticked. All it needs now is for HM to die and we shall be totally and completely fucked.
