Has he resigned over principle, or is it a self-serving gesture for Brexit?

Trouble is now the lords won't pass it unless there is a vote and the Tories majority is going to be majorly tested with some Tories using it to weaken the government before the brexit vote....

They're back paddling right now and saying they'll consult widely.
Of course the EU referendum is playing a part in this.

This current govt is fucked, IMHO. Inside and outside. Blair/Brown was a shambles at times, but this lot...? Beggars belief.
Where the HELL do we go now? I'm leftist by heart, but not a fan of dribbling Corbyn. Our "system" is broken.

so some poor sod gets his legs blown off in iraq, his rightful bebefits are reduced to a stage that he cannot support himself, and he comes home to die in shame.
Beggars fucking belief.

How could Osborne or any of his advisors not see this coming? Punish the disabled and reward the wealthy. Even the Sheriff of Nottingham wasn't that harsh.
