The entire Brexit strategy seems to be to try and put pressure on the EU to make them do all the thinking and all the work. Which is the opposite of what should be happening.
If we'd had a remotely competent negotiation team that bill probably could've been even lower. Then again if we had remotely competent leadership Brexit wouldn't be going ahead at all.
Utter bollocks. She’s not begging at all. She’s recognising reality and compromising.
It’s taken some time but at least some progress has been made.
Now hopefully we can get the decent deal that we and the EU both want.
At least recognise the difficult position she’s found herself in (with so many vocal and varied interests and agendas)and that she has shown some leadership in putting it on the right track.
Yes it’s been slow and yes mistakes have been made but to give her some credit. She has actually moved the process forward now. At risk to herself from her own party.
From her speech in Florence onwards she has commited herself to being more diplomatic and conciliatory - in opposition to the factions against that.
Has she done enough - No.
But she has at least made progress.
She deserves s little bit of credit for that.
