Dear god !, perhaps you should find a safe space and have a herbal tea an a bit of a lie down.

It's a sad day for me, but we are where we are and we've got to make the most of it.

I believe we'll be fine and there will definitely be opportunities as well as obstacles, but I believe the decision to leave is incongruous with the direction that humanity is, or should be, traveling.

It's just a trading union.

Anyway, I've just finished watch the whole shebang in Parliament on iPlayer and have a few thoughts on the session:

• I enjoy the completely impotent rage that the SNP display and think they manage to be the most useless political party in the UK. They don't seem to understand that you can't stand in a UK Parliament and ask when the Scots are going to get their say. Because by definition, them being in there is the Scots getting a say. Beggars belief, they manage to be more useless than Labour which is an achievement in itself. Watching them get increasingly wound up as May smiles and says "the time isn't right" 100 times was pretty funny.

• Theresa May always performs well at the dispatch box and she's turning out to be a very good candidate for the Tories. Hardline enough to unite the right, yet liberal enough to invite the left. She could be PM for a very long time and I personally admire her demeanour and clear language every time she steps up.

• The big issues people were worried about outside self aggrandising speeches, including one from Rees Mogg that even MPs thought was pretentious wank, seem to be farming and fishing. Little to no questions regarding the City and financial transactions which I expected more of.

The next steps will be fun. Scotland leaving is a no brainer, and Northern Ireland is an unwanted step child basically. The UK would love to get rid of the financial burden and Ireland don't want it back for that very reason. If Ireland does take it back, it'll leave the UK as just England plus Wales. How this made sense to start is beyond me.

Some very interesting times ahead.

As a Scotland referendum will not take place until at least 2021 I would put the chance of them leaving at less than 30%

I've never got the love in for Jacob Rees-Mogg. He's always come across as an out of touch, slightly dim, chinless wonder to me.
