No-one in their right mind can possibly think that this current cabinet are making a decent fist of our negotiations. To trigger article 50 before you know what you actually want to achieve from the negotiations was a ridiculous unforced error, as was the snap election and the complete cave-in to the EU order for negotiations.
How can you decide what you actually want to achieve, when you are unsure how much the enemy will concede?
You should go in with no deal on the table and show them you are strong. All this yellow/hollow backed obstructions from snowflakes, gives the EU encouragement and weakens your hand.
You have obviously never played poker and we shouldn't give them an Inch. We owe them nothing.
To compromise/give away more is what they want/need.
1. need our cash
2. want free movement
3. want control over your trade
4. want control over your laws

Give in on those and they know, the EU will start to break up. There is a lot of unhappy bunnies in Europe, be it over money or immigration.
They know their very existence is on the table.
Tell them once only, either deal sensibly, or **** off.
