The irony of the second referendum petition is that it was initially put forward by a leave supporter.
Farage said back in May if it was 52:48 in favour of remain this would be, "far from over".
So talk from leave supporters that the petition is pathetic makes me chuckle, as were the roles reversed the story would be the same.
Boris has been quiet, but what he's said seems a bit of a climb down... "leave voters must accept that the outcome was not overwhelming"... so he looks to have lost a bit of his nerve.
Really interesting session in parliament today (I was watching from my sick bed).
Just seen Farage on Ch4 news and he's worried that the Conservatives are going to bottle it.
Labour is an utter mess... the amount of shadow cabinet roles going should help the poor sods losing their jobs elsewhere in the economy... there are loads up for grabs!
It's fascinating stuff.
If it wasn't happening to my country, I'd be thoroughly enjoying it... beats Eastenders!
