Last stand of the Brexiteers

As HMS Brexit struggles on despite being holed. The Brexiteers turn on each other, blaming each other for failures.

This is true of the Member of Parliament for 1786, JRM, who this evening has launched a blistering attack on the PM and her handling of Brexit.

No plan he says. And in that, he's right. There was never a plan for Brexit, not a staring point, not an ending point, nor any agreement in Cabinet.

Sniping from the outside is typical of Brexiteers like JRM and Farrage, who are never trusted with high office, as they don't have a clue about details. JRM wants Britain to withhold payments from the EU post-Brexit. This is money UK has already promised to pay, this is not payment for a deal, but in terms JRM might understand, the remaining membership fees of a London club perhaps. You might not want to still go in, but you promised to pay x amount of time, so you must pay. Breaking such an agreement just at the time when you have to do trade negotiations with half the world, with other countries knowing our word is no long our bond would be disastrous.

As would threatening and really walking away from talks. Which would be disastrous for UK businesses.

There is talk that JRM and his pals in the ERG will bring down the government rather than let the fudge go ahead. That would mean an election, and the possibility of Labour under Corbyn embracing remain. Its a risky strategy from JRM, but once, or if, UK leaves the EU, and say remains part of a SM and CU, then the referendum would have been carried out, and then the dust settles, and probably not much would change, and no one would really understand their gripes about vassel states and to such when we have mostly the jobs and wide screen TVs we have now.

Although the Governor of the Bank of England stated today that Brexit so far has cost each and every one of us £800, and we haven't left yet.

Finally, rumours in Westminster that both main parties are going to announce major shifts in Brexit policy. Strange days.
