I'm not distracted enough. Harry and Theresa should have a baby. Maybe today's statement is a live birth.
Along with a few shouty 'back to square one' comments about Labour.
I imagine she'll be making exactly the same speech as she did after Salzburg, utterly detached from reality. The responses to questions from the ERG and other Brexiteers will be the most interesting, tbh.
Realistically, May only has tomorrow before the EU summit. So something has to give, if she gives another 'no deal is better than a bad deal' speech, then they might as well commit to no deal now and save tomorrow and the day after.
She won't stand down, she's too obsessed with being PM to do that.
Chequers it is.

Two years later, and our government still can't negotiate with the EU because it's still arguing with itself.
In this case, arguing against a backstop that it originally proposed.
It'll be nothing like the last surprise speech.
Would not be surprised if it was a rerun of her "trying to look hard" speech last time.

There are calls from some Brexiter MPs for David Davis to be made interim leader.
What has he ever achieved for people to want him as leader, I just don't get it, he always looks out of his depth.
We've been reaching peak Brexit negotiation each passing day for the past six months.
At this point this feels like the political equivalent of edging fetishism.
We just don't know if it'll be May or Boris the one providing that much needed if probably still disappointing release.
That's a mental image for you all.
He would push for their shitty position and is expendable enough that they can disown him when he doesn't get anywhere in negotiations either.
Nothing has changed, the motto of this government is still "Nothing has changed".
The Tories are going to "Nothing has changed" their way into a No Deal that destroys the UK.

That sounds very gloomy tbh
The pressure is only going to get worse, time is running out.
The article and the headline don't gel. The only quote about 24 hours in the article is this
The problem with May's position is that she has to convince either the EU than the backstop should have a time limit, or the hard Brexiteers within her party that the backstop shouldn't have a time limit, and she has little credibility with either audience, certainly not enough for them to take her at her word. Indeed, she appears to be trying a third option, which is to agree to a time limit in principle, but say that she personally doesn't think it'll be required so nobody needs to make a big deal out of actually getting it in writing. Considering the hardcore Brexiteers that are looking to take over the party are explicitly planning on running down the clock on any backstop deal, they're not going to go for anything that isn't explicitly agreed with the EU (who, of course, aren't going to agree to anything of the sort).
This will all fall apart this week. Even if there's a bit of choreography between May and the EU (and I think there is to a point: there's no agreement but I think there's enough wiggle room to give May a 'win' on Wednesday and gain access to the November summit) I think you'll see a leadership challenge and the DUP formally ending the informal confidence and supply deal
These questions in Parliament just show what an absolute fucking mess we're in. Various flavours of 'we can't be in a customs union', 'we should have another vote', 'we should leave with no deal', 'we should be in a customs union', 'a customs union is illegal' etc etc I can't imagine anything that would effectively get through Parliament at present.
Why would she need to have them when Harry already has one of his own?

Here's a picture of her as a kid giving a nazi salute lol
Can you please stop trying so hard to derail the thread with this bullshit?
I wanted to say something, but yeah, thank you, not worth bothering with that shit.
The feel when the fucking Sun is not as worse in spinning facts as you are.
Hmm May just wobbled a bit on peoples vote. Says if Parliament votes down her deal she'd have to take account of what parliament wants to do next.
So the only clear answer she gave was to try and prevent Boris taking her job?
Fucking typical, party before country.
