Well Done Mrs M

[Canary42]

Why can't people see what she's up to - seems so obvious to me.

She can't sack Davis and Johnson for obvious reasons so she prepares a Brexit proposal which actually serves TWO purposes.

1. It forces the self-serving Cabinet Traitors to resign.

2. It will be unacceptable to the EU so we end up with "no deal" option which satisfies the clamorous Brexit mob and at the same time gives May an excuse if the economy goes down the tubes -" not her fault, she did her best" after lazy Davis did nothing to produce a Brexit plan satisfactory to all (just 4 hours spent negotiating with EU).

Although not a Tory supporter myself, I must say their lady PMs do have guts.

Interesting theory Canary. It is certainly on the cards that the EU will reject her proposed plan.

[ToraToraTora]

so you think we are heading for "no deal" then?

[dannyk13]

I'd be surprised if we weren't.

[Bazile]

Either no deal or a very weak deal .

I suspect we wont leave with no deal , so it looks like a very weak deal , will be the outcome .

[jno]

I agree. I think May's actually pretty hopeless, she's scarcely made a pledge she hasn't U-turned on, but she's still the best man in the government.

[Gromit]

I came to the same conclusion as 1.
She couldn’t sack her ‘***’ but the Chequers meeting forced them to go.

On 2, I think the EU will bat it back, but we will get an agreement with compromises on both sides.

[Old_Geezer]

Anyone savvy enough to think that deviously would have done better against the EU so far. And if 'No Deal' was the aim there would be no reason to encourage Davis and Johnson to go. Furthermore if it isn't accepted then by by failing to get an agreement she will still be blamed regardless. Now she is in danger of a vote of no confidence and being replaced by someone more democratically minded.

[Old_Geezer]

If May manages to remain in position the next step isn't "No Deal", it's something along the lines of, "Yeah ok in that case we'll agree to anything the EU wants: and here's a list of other things you've not thought of that you might want to demand too'. After all she won't be around much longer in politics once she's signed up to something appalling, anyway.

Traitors are the remainers. The remainers not putting the UK first. Traitors that have such a low opinion of the UK and it’s ability they would rather see it shackled wrist and ankle. Or is that their own ability is so poor they realise they are not capable? That seems more the case.

May is a waste of space but to suddenly laud her for doing the worst possible job is laughable.

The EU will not accept the plan and will demand changes and concessions and weak pathetic remainers will give in.

Apparently Davis has only had some 4 hours of face to face talks is because it is mostly done by ‘the back room boys’ and May herself stepped in. However I do agree he has not exactly done a resounding job himself.

Cassa: "Traitors are the remainers. The remainers not putting the UK first. Traitors that have such a low opinion of the UK and it’s ability they would rather see it shackled wrist and ankle. Or is that their own ability is so poor they realise they are not capable? That seems more the case. " - Bang on cassa, BA right there.

[Jackdaw33]

Let's see how Raab does. I know nothing about him but he sounds very competent and is a firm Brexiteer. I think he could be the undoing of May, not that there's much left to undo.

[Jackdaw33]

An interesting analysis, Canary. Is May really that cunning and devious?

[youngmafbog]

Treason May is not that clever. Look at them mes she made of the Home Office too.

[Old_Geezer]

What is crafty, maybe, is initially pointing out that 'No Deal' is better than a bad deal; and then deliberately putting a bad deal together, offering it, then seeing if it's accepted. If it is, then one can reject one's own deal suggestion and legitimately go for 'No Deal' instead, as indicated one would.
