OUR Parliament is in a state of disintegration.

Both the Conservative and Labour parties are deeply divided. As a TV journalist said: "There is a deadlock in Parliament over a motion to break the deadlock in Parliament."

I suggest that both 'the house of straw' and the 'house of sticks' are blown down and a unity coalition government formed.

The cabinet would include Michael Gove, Dominic Grieve, Tom Watson and Hilary Benn, with representatives from the SNP, the Lib Dems and the Independent Group.

Opposition parties would be formed by Jacob Rees-Mogg's European Research Group and Nigel Farage on the right, and by Momentum and Marxist Labour members on the left. The DUP and Plaid Cymru would each choose their group.

Then, perhaps, we could finally have a true 'house of stone', the Mother of all parliaments, back again, instead of what has now become a (bitter) laughing stock in Europe and around the world.
