That thing that you keep conveniently forgetting.

So the 303 treacherous MPs who have tried to stop tax collections in the event of no deal, are exactly that, treacherous.
I’m not conveniently forgetting the General Election. That was a bad day for Brexit because it cemented uncertainty into the process. Manifesto promises are more hopes and aspirations than commitments, and are always weighted against the chances of winning the next election.

Conveniently both main parties breaking the same commitment, to honour the referendum result, means they can share the blame with little negative effect. The General Election was the best thing to have happened to the remain camp.
