He's reported as saying he's pulling the whole thing, but they voted for it yesterday so they presumably have to "unvote" it or otherwise officially retract it somehow in Parliament. I would ask what made him think this would go through without anyone blinking, but then again he's got away with so much he thinks he's teflon coated. When all the Tory press have ragged his arse this morning (and many of their readers) the penny finally may have dropped. How long before the next corrupt bit of sleaze then with Bodgit leading as always from the rear?

Apparently the original document they were supposed to vote on, before Leadshit hijacked it, has to be resubmitted as brand new document for the vote that it should have gone through on the nod yesterday, all so the corrupt MP Paterson can be sat on the naughty step for 30 days. If 10% of his constituents so wish, they can then call for a by-election while he is suspended, which might not have come to their attention at all if Bodgit and his bozo's had kept their big gobs shut yesterday.
Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v it is then. There's a minister for "trade deals" that's brilliant at that on the keyboard, so we are told.
