Question Time tonight from Belfast. This should be a good.
I wonder if Arlene will show up with the DUP's take on this week's shenanigans. The ERG might be there to hold her hand.. I jest, well.. maybe.

Get them all in a room and 'Maysplain' why her fatally flawed withdrawal agreement is good for the country. Its clear she doesn't give a damn about what anyone else thinks, its her deal or the highway. And in any case Corbyn had a 20 min phone conversation with her later so that box was ticked.
Just to be clear I think they are both useless in the face of Brexit.

I saw this petition a few weeks ago and it had around 60k, so well done Theresa for inspiring over 500k people to sign it.  Having watched the PM's rant again this morning, she can effing do one, the stupid cow! A favourite phrase of my dad's sprang to mind... "Never trust a smiling cat." Well she had her claws out last night, and people in Brussels have been heavily hinting that's the side of her they've been seeing all along. Utterly intransigent.

I'm pretty sure it crashed. If I'm not mistaken, I think it's the biggest petition response ever on there, and it was getting 1000 signatures per minute earlier on. Don't suppose UKGov gave it enough budget to cope with that
