I notice that the motion to transfer Article 13 of the Lisbon Treaty which covers animal sentience in to the Brexit Bill was voted down. Hopefully, there will be a separate bill or we will be slipping down that index. |

Even the Daily Mail turns it's nose up at this practise:

Don't forget that Vote Brexit has a real chance of becoming Vote Corbyn. Not certain yet but getting more and more likely as this shambles goes on. Wouldn't that be ironic?
