Prime Ministers are like nappies and need changing regularly

THERESA May’s Brexit proposals reminded me of Columbus. When she set out, she did not know where she was going; when she got there, she didn’t know where she was; upon return, she had no idea where she had been.

Theresa May did not give us her strategy for Europe, she read what had been given to her. When you see her in Brussels, look just behind and you will see a bearded wonder walking carrying her bag. That is Olly Robbins, her chief Europe adviser. He is the one actually running the show. And she is doing exactly what she did at the last general election, which is excluding everyone, but her close advisors! Now after the election the 1922 committee of the Tory party told her that either the advisers went or she did, followed by her; they went! They should do the same with Robbins!

We now have a cabinet of sycophants, who unless they kiss her astrakhan, and patronise her, they have had it! The way she treated the cabinet, in hijacking them at Chequers; confiscating their mobile phones, and telling them a resignation would mean a mile walk to the entrance, as no cars would be allowed in, to collect them, was like a demented school headmistress, moving into lunacy, and succeeding! I would have resigned, on that alone!

We now propose to give the EU £billions, with them retaining regulatory control over business, and the European Court jurisdiction, while parliament has no say. Why did we have a referendum? And where was the referendum prior to Blair and Major getting us into this unholy regulatory mess. All we need now is for May to get off a plane from Brussels waving a piece of paper and declaring peace in our time!

As the cabinet fights for her honour, which is more than she has ever done, they know, she has done everything to the satisfaction of her advisors, and they follow her now out of curiosity as where she is going, deluding themselves that they are participating in government, when it is a bunch of civil servants who are in power, and no matter how you vote, they always get in !

Prime Ministers are like nappies. They should be changed regularly and for the same reason! Steve Vickers, by email
