As I write this, may is in Strasbourg meeting with Junker to finalise an agreement that allows the UK to unilaterally decide something to do with the backstop.
It is legal, and full of jargon.B But the reason is to be vague enough to convince the Attorney General to change is legal advice. Nothing about what is good for the country, just enough for may to survive as PM for another week.
Even if this is agreed with the EU tonight, and it seems it will, it will still have to be ratified in the Commons tomorrow, and that seems very unlikely.
What happens then is anyone's guess.
May seems to be pushing to extend the A50 process to May 24th, this date because that is when EU elections start, and if they start and the UK is not taking part, there can be no more extensions, and The Commons will only have a deal or no deal choice.
That is if they vote her WA down tomorrow.
Cynical, and dreadful leadership from May. A truly awful PM. History will not be kind. As economic reality will not be kind post-Brexit either.
