Defeatism

Theresa May announced that she would resign as Prime Minister, saying she had failed in her task of delivering Brexit.

I’m not convinced for a single moment by May’s crocodile tears. She’s been duplicitous all along. She hasn’t been trying to deliver Brexit, she’s been trying to stop Brexit. She’s been negotiating a surrender treaty with the EU, not “negotiating a deal”.

You don’t get away with that. She tried to deliver Brexit but so- called Brexiteers made it impossible.

A la Thatcher, she may have broken down in tears at the end, but who cares? She has left this country a shambolic, ill- governed, socially divided wreck and once again she is only thinking about herself and the “service” she has given. A “service” for which she’ll be given a fat pension, police protection for the rest of her life and she and Phil certainly won’t be applying for universal credit or visiting food banks.

George Kelly

The worst PM of all time since the last one. Likely to be pushed into third worst PM of all time by the next joker coming up.

It’s think hard the to Tories believe, are but on I the really verge of casting themselves into the political wilderness for decades. That’s what will happen if we get Johnson as PM and a No deal.

Such a mess happens when you run a referendum without a super majority ( which is required for a constitutional change in any proper democracy) and without a clear manifesto/ plan as to what “leave” is all about. Thanks to our clueless politicians.

Please remember that if there is ever a second Scottish referendum.

I liked Mrs May, and I certainly bear her no ill will. But in the main task she set herself, she proved to be a paper tiger. She let the EU dictate the agenda, and was far too accommodating of them. And at the end of the day, if you promise things like “Brexit means Brexit”, “the EU will leave the EU on 29 March”, and above all,

“No Deal is better than a bad deal”, you have to follow through and deliver. She should have gone sooner.

Toosh

She didn’t let the EU dictate anything. She was leaving the club, when you leave the club you don’t get to call the club’s shots. You don’t get preferential access to the benefits of the club that members enjoy.

In fairness, she inherited an impossible task from her predecessor, to make a success of what was obviously a calamitous decision to leave the EU. But she made things much worse for herself and the country by opting to pursue an unnecessarily damaging hard Brexit, and insisting on sticking to those red lines even after losing any mandate she might have imagined she had at the General Election.
