Last Friday marked the signing of the Withdrawal Agreement. I know that some people in our country are still a bit upset. But what happened last week matters. We all know that we’ve just had three and a half difficult years. But we had them together – we shared them. Three and a half years of parliament being gloriously frustrating, entertaining and overall a bit odd. Three and a half years of our courts and our beloved institutions forcing us to try very hard to recall why we love them. Three and a half years of democracy.
After these three and a half years, our parliament, the body of 650 parliamentarians we voted for, has only just told our Prime Minister that he could sign the agreement. If Boris Johnson had tried to do it without their permission then we would have skinned him alive.
