When Tony Blair's government was introducing its unpopular tuition fees policy, quick-witted education secretary Alan Johnson announced he and his minister of state, the burly bruiser Charles Clarke, had embarked on a charm offensive to win over rebel MPs.
"You the public have had enough," she declared in a primetime broadcast that clashed with the medical drama Holby City and - even more unforgivable, aficionados would argue - Coronation Street. "You want this stage of the Brexit process to be over and done with. I agree. I am on your side. It is now time for MPs to decide."
The PM has shown she was"in complete denial", said Jeremy Corbyn."Pointless," said Nicolas Sturgeon."Disgraceful," said wavering Labour MP Lisa Nandy. The Labour MP Wes Streeting even said the PM's statement was"incendiary and irresponsible" because of death threats to MPs.So just what was the point of this broadcast?No doubt those in the PM's inner circle will say it was to appeal over the heads of the bickering MPs to the voters. She told viewers, after all, that polling evidence suggests voters back her deal.
Despite frenzied speculation at Westminster and bookies stopping taking odds on one, there was nothing about a general election.And there was only a brief mention of a referendum:"You don't want a referendum and neither to I," she said.She was 15 minutes late for her broadcast, because her meetings with MPs in the Commons overran. And they didn't go smoothly, either.and refused to attend because Chuka Umunna and Anna Soubry had turned up, representing The Independent Group.
The ERG nutcases will not compromise on no deal. Labour just trying to cause chaos in order get a general election, they have no feasible plan for brexit so sod the country. SNP using brexit to further independence. Journos just shit stirring. May deserves sympathy
Only in the Geordie sense of the word 'charming' when it can be used in a derogatory manner. Eg. 'So you simply blamed Parliament and not yourself - charming!' timetogo
Think you meant stubborn and pathetic.
Deluded and deranged would be a better description.
Charming really! Who wrote that CRAP at sky news needs to be removed!
Charming 😂😂
I must have missed the charming bit, offensive in every respect from the patronising tone, MPs fault for not agreeing to my deal (unpalatable & unconstitutional as it is). PLEASE rid us of this odious woman & get on with NoDealBrexit
What definition of charming are you using?
Do you mean incompetent....rather then charming
About as charming as a viper
It's a tad strong to use the word charming. Use a dictionary, plenty more words to describe 'that robotic shitshow'
Charming? Umm please look up what the word means. Maybe you meant totally lost the plot.
She sounded like a nursery school teacher. Supercilious and condescending.
I got MP's vote for deal or leave with no deal enough is enough !
I think I missed the charming part
She is never charming. Always offensive
You misspelled 'weak and subservient'.
Erm, I haven't seen any of her 'charming' qualities throughout this whole Brexit debacle!
Throw May (the realDonaldTrump PUPPET) OUT!
