james blunt has broken his silence on brexit - perhaps he can provide the clarity this fractured nation is crying out for in this difficult time
“For soldiers, the whole end game is always peace,” he says. “How can we stop people killing people so we can all go home at the end of the day alive to our families. That means understanding people’s differences. I feel the same way with politics today. There’s a left and a right and most humans are surely in the middle.”But we were all asked to vote, I say.“And it was pretty close. We’re chewing ourselves up on this question, because neither side is understanding why people reached these opinions. Why is it we can’t even have a dialogue about it?” Well, what was his view?“I think it’s pretty much bulls**t. It’s all a political thing. I’m going to carry on touring through Europe whatever happens. Rather than having a title on it, my call to arms would be ‘get the f*** on with it’, because our lives aren’t going to change. My tour manager is going to be pissed off he has to fill in a few more forms, but whatever you do, get on with it, because the limbo is killing us.” But you don’t want to say how you voted? “No. I don’t want to be given the label.”

The House of Commons speaker John Bercow has ruled that he will not permit MPs to have a ‘meaningful vote’ on Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal today.“My ruling is that the motion will not be debated today as it would be repetitive and disorderly to do so,” he told MPs.

Soft Brexit Tories are erm softening and might back Johnson's bill as it stands, as I thought they might.
However many pro-deal lab MPs may want the customs amendment...basically Jared will need to get another lift to the commons.
