It's like an illness that has got into the Tory Hive. Busy Bs like Gove enjoy buzzing around pollinating any narrative which shifts the onus onto Brussels.

Her Majesty's Government seems to be proposing to set up a customs border around Peterhead so that fish can be landed, turned into something else and exported somewhere else and have I been medicined or something?

Clarke and Harman prepared to lead a national unity govt. I think this might have support of parliamnet, will Corbyn's ego be prepared to let it happen...

Whether you like him or not, Corbyn is the Leader of the Opposition.
All this media bluster about Clarke and Harman has more to do with Swinson's ego than anything else. The Lib Dems have 12 MPs, but their leader is trying to dictate the figurehead of a government of national unity. Grandstanding of the worst type.
Corbyn called Swinson's bluff on opposing No Deal and the reaction was very telling.

You know the one essential ingredient of a "government of national unity"?
Unity.
Seems in rather short supply amongst opponents of no-deal brexit in the UK parliament. They simply can't help the scheming, back stabbing and general incompetence. All the no-deal fanatics need to do is run down the clock, while the Lib Dems, Labour and the rest do a passable impression of the Keystone Cops.
