Last week’s Moral Maze
Melanie got one Remainer MP Emma Reynolds
..asked to consider a hypothetical reversed situation where a Brexit referendum voted Remain would she think it OK of MPs to vote FOR Brexit cos of their conscience
..she just refused to answer “I can’t get my head around those hypotheticals”
.. it should have been easy ..what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
Likewise Mel got in that Cameron said “this is your vote, there will be no referendum”
Two MPs tried to assert that cos Cameron had left , the rules had changed.

A quick peep at Al Beeb’s front page this evening reminds me of the contents of the “Woman’s Weekley” magazine.
Have they taken over Al Beeb or is it being run by a special team of misandrists?
So Germany and France have signed up and reaffirmed their support for the EU.
