A whole new level of panic

A short post:

Today, the PM announced that the Meaningful Vote (MV) was being delayed until March 12.

This is madness on stilts.

The only option now is for Parliament to take charge, but for that, they have to agree on a course, and a destination, and chances of that are slim.

Just a reminder that the UK is due to leave the EU on March 29, so the PM leaving it until 17 days before leaving for this is reckless in the extreme.

I don't see Parliament challenging this, they might huff and puff. But nothing will be done.

But in boardrooms up and down the country, emergency and eject buttons will be being pressed.

I cannot imagine how May could have handled this any worse than she has done.

And remember, that even if the WA gets passed, the trade agreement has to be negotiated and ratified. In 21 months.
