Expenses seems to be a vulnerable soft side with MPs. Clearly, with the number of expenses scandels in recent years, the expenses watchdog must treat this demand seriously. If the Labour MPs have found some real ‘dirt’, they may be able to soften the Brexit blow.  At the moment, despite all the froth in the Summer months, the hard Brexiteers seem to be on a roll.

It’s fascinating but ‘No Brexit’ has become an ‘elephant in the room‘ at Westminster. So whilst the comment from Sir Vince Cable may be regarded as unhelpful by many Conservatives, he’s right to highlight the enormous risks.

The British Public know that they’ve been sold ‘a dud one’, based on fanning xenophobia and false news. Meanwhile, the government argue that ‘we must respect the will of the people’. The truth is simple, the people were conned.

So surely, a second referendum, clarifying hard, soft or no Brexit would be both inherently democratic and in the public interest?
