"Up EURS" with May on the cliffs of Dover in a Union Jack skirt

May ez c0cked up big time. The cynic in me thinks it is all a big con. Both sides will come to an agreement at the last minute following "tough" negotiations. We will shell art £39 Billion, EU trade rules will apply, we will obey EU rules wi art evvin a vote, EU court rules will apply to us, no change on EU immigration, Ireland controls will be based away from the border but will still be applied.

All sold as a "success".
I thought she was rather magnificent, SB. Thatcher reborn, but dealing with the enemy without rather than the one within. The first time I have been impressed by her since she came to power.

You have to bear in mind the game that the EU are playing. They are used to member nations holding multiple referenda until they get the answer that they want. That's why the mood music coming from certain EU leaders prior to Salzburg was how much they would welcome a second (technically third) referendum and why May then got roughed up at the conference to try to push us into agreeing to one.

Even if Labour can't hold the line (and irrespective of my own views), I agree with May that it would be a betrayal not to put the outcome 2016 referendum into effect.
