Theresa May blamed MPs - of all sides - for playing political games with Brexit | NickdMiller

past its March 29 deadline – a deadline she had insisted she would meet 108 times in parliament, one Conservative MP pointed out.

An anti-Brexit campaigner stands outside the entrance to Downing Street with flags and a banner in London.May sent a letter to EU leaders on Wednesday setting out a plan to bring the divorce deal back to parliament for a third time before the end of the month: political pundits are tipping Monday. She asked for delay to the Brexit date to June 2019 to allow time for necessary legal consequences should it pass.

This has been interpreted as saying she would resign rather than renegotiate or rethink the Brexit divorce deal.It could also mean she is resigned to embracing a “no deal” Brexit predicted to cause large economic damage to the UK and cause chaos at its borders – including food and medicine shortages.

A new poll released on Wednesday found that 90 per cent of Britons considered the Brexit process so far to have been a “national humiliation”. Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn said Wednesday marked 1000 days since the Brexit referendum and “the government have led the country and themselves into crisis, chaos and division”.

European Council president Donald Tusk said on Wednesday he had consulted with EU leaders and “a short extension” to the Brexit deadline would be possible, “but it will be conditional on a positive vote on the Withdrawal Agreement in the House of Commons”.

NickdMiller When women lead.

NickdMiller . She's correct. They all bleat that the future of the country is at stake. Then do everything they can to ensure there's no consensus on how to deal with the crisis. If Corbyn could subordinate his ego for at least one day in his life... but then, he's a Kremlin stooge, so...
