Opinion: Theresa May’s Brexit is over – and a general election is now all but inevitableResponding to her own defeat, the prime minister said: ‘I fear we are reaching the end of the process in this house’.

People don't disagree with me because i believe in BS. They are all against me. It is a conspiracy. Expect better from The independent! 'Obstruct Brexit'? I remember Rentoul speaking at this LSE talk: totally misconstruing what independence means backing really naive Brexit arguments. Opinions are free but UK pundits please do your homework. plegrain was the voice of reason at that talk.
