I was listening to Ian Dale on LBC on the way to work this evening. If the details leaked to him re the white paper are accurate, then Theresa the Appeaser is indeed trying to take us down the BRINO route.
In this scenario, I can see civil war breaking out in the Tory party, possibly triggered by the resignation of David Davis, who has been sidelined and ignored.
She will then probably have to go, and there might be another general election, although no-one, including Corbyn wants one.
Problem is, if the Tories get shot of the useless May, who is fit to replace her ? Hopefully not Boris or Gove. I would probably be in favour of Davis out of the possible candidates.
We might know the answers to these questions by this time next week. We shall see.
Defence Minister Gavin Williamson or Home Secretary Sajid Javid, both have vision, are leaders & take responsibility & get things done. All the qualities that Appeaser May is totally lacking. May should of stuck to being the fashion dressing office bimbo or Margaret Thatcher's shoe cleaner or like English kings used to have her official arse wiper, if she really must have a job in politics.
IMO since her delusions of grandeur of becoming an MP she has been totally out of her depth.
Where May is taking the UK is a trap & straight after the next election the winning party will declare we have to follow all the EUSSR rules with having no say, so we are rejoining to have our say. The terms will be no rebate so we are the biggest net contributor, joining the Euro, freedom of movement & taking the majority of economic refugees landing in southern Europe.
The reality is that the anti-EU MPs are the useful fools of the Tory party (John Redwood didn't like it when I told him that
) to get the votes from their anti-EU spin respectability while the rest of the Tory party always have been & always will be rabid europhiles. Howe, Heseltine, Clarke & Sosbury are typical examples of their type.
We would never had the Brexit referendum without many 2010 tactical UKIP voters and polls saying we intended to vote UKIP again in the 2015 election to pollsters. So CaMoron offered the referendum as a vote winner & then fell on his sword.
I suspect that this will make the Tories long term split into two parties of anti & pro EU and they will be out of office for at least 28 years at best or end up like the Liberal party after Lloyd George.
