My favorite comment

Is there a more fitting depiction of Brexit than this? Theresa May failing to hit a deadline of her own choosing because of Cabinet infighting.

[more heat than light]

“I am hear today to inform the country that the Cabinet is made up of banana splits. Boris is a banana split. Rees-Mogg is a banana split. Basically I am surrounded by banana splits”

"And I..."



"Have a banana split."

Well since Theresa May has shown she'll do literally anything in the pursuit of power, I imagine her bifter now resembles a blancmange which has been dropped on the floor.

I can’t imagine why May would think the cabinet meeting would be so short that she could give a speech to the nation at 5pm.

I wonder if the Cabinet have basically told May to strawberry float off and she doesn't really want to go and make a statement to that effect.

Brexit in a nutshell.

[Lagamorph]

Ok, it looks like what's happening is that there will be a Press Statement in which May makes a statement, but there will not be a Press Conference where she answers questions from journalists.

[Garth]

Yeah, press conference cancelled, statement outside No 10 still happening:

There has been confusion outside Downing Street about whether the Prime Minister will speak.

It has now been confirmed there will be a short statement made by Theresa May.

However, the press conference has been cancelled.

Downing Street has said Mrs May will make a statement in the street outside No 10 following the conclusion of the Cabinet meeting.

Is the draft agreement going to be released to the people does anyone know?

Is the draft agreement going to be released to the people does anyone know?

I doubt it. They're very cagey about releasing anything to do with Brexit, look at the fiasco with all the impact reports.
