It's hard to be an optimist this morning.<\/p>\n
The EU says the Brexit\u00a0problem lies with the UK, as if that is news.<\/p>\n
We know there is no Irish solution around which the Cabinet will unite.<\/p>\n
We know May might lose ministers this week.<\/p>\n
We know that might trigger her downfall.<\/p>\n
And we know Cameron and Clegg ensured that does not mean we have an election\u00a0but might end up with someone like David Davis as PM.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Northern Ireland has still got no government and yet the DUP holds the UK to ransom.<\/p>\n
And Scotland, rightly, frets.<\/p>\n
Whilst the people of the UK see their well-being at risk of collapse.<\/p>\n
Despite which the Tories apparently have a poll lead.<\/p>\n
Nothing makes sense.<\/p>\n
We are a DisUnited Kingdom.<\/p>\n
The chance that this can be resolved without getting much worse look to be remote.<\/p>\n
I'd love to be an optimist. But right now I am not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
