Relief at Brexit Defeat


I must say that I am immensely relieved by the government's defeat last night, including by the size of the margin.  I find it very hard to imagine that Hilary Benn's bill will not now pass, and the extreme Tories will have only themselves to blame. 

The photo of Jacob Rees-Mogg above seems to have gone viral largely because it sums up the insouciant arrogance with which this small band of fanatics are bringing disaster on the country.  I really am astonished that people who purport to be traditional conservatives could treat long established institutions such as the Monarchy and Parliament with such contempt.
