So the liar that resides in No.10 is to now see if they are also liars that base themselves in Brussells (I think we already know the answer)
Who on earth does she seek counsel from? She's making John Major look like a good PM.
Fascinating situation. So Andrew Bridgen, my MP, called it right last week.
She's going to go back to Brussels, and insist that they concede ground on the "backstop" nonsense. Ironically, losing the vote in the Commons would have given her a stronger hand there.
But I think she's bought herself a bit more time. One possibility is that she thinks that losing the vote would provoke a few more letters to Graham Brady, and perhaps he's even had a quiet word and told her she can only afford another two or three.
On the other hand - forcing a leadership election could be a dangerous gamble for them, because under party rules she couldn't be forced into another one for another year if it fails.
There's some talk of a vote of no confidence in the government being called. She wouldn't lose that. None of the rebel Tory MPs, nor our good friends in the DUP would play the opposition parties' game on that one. Forcing a general election is no easy matter; under the Fixed Term Parliaments act a two-thirds majority in the Commons is needed.
Granted she is in something of an impossible situation but she was naive to think she'd get away with her betrayal of the voters.
We need a new national leader who will approach and deliver Brexit as the beautiful, golden opportunity that it is - not someone who will pander to the losing side in the defining political question of our time. For me, that's Boris but perhaps Dominic Raab could step up to the plate. I feel Michael Gove has pissed on his chips to a degree.
