    UK and EU fail to strike Brexit talks deal

    So if May never held a snap election she'd still have a majority. As such a minority DUP scuppered the grand plan. (don't ask no one really knows the plan).

    Shurly her tenure cannot last until Christmas? Cameron divided the country and May seems intent on driving the economy into the ground.

    The most awful government in these modern times.


    The UK and EU have failed to reach an agreement to move to the next stage of Brexit talks, Theresa May has said.
    The prime minister said talks would reconvene "before the end of the week" and she was "confident we will conclude this positively".
    The talks are understood to have broken down after the Democratic Unionist Party refused to accept concessions on the Irish border issue.
    Downing Street said that was not the only outstanding problem.
    Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said a deal had been done, but the UK appeared to change its mind over the Irish border question after pressure from the DUP.
    "I am surprised and disappointed that the British government now appears not to be in a position to conclude what was agreed earlier today," he told a press conference in Dublin.

      I said all along the NI border would be the issue, and May getting into bed with people directly on the front line so to speak means she has no wriggle-room.

      So, either she gives in totally to EU/DUP demands and we are still in EU in all but name, or she falls on her sword and opens the door to the Corbster.

      I love the Corbster, one of the last principled men in politics, Wedgie Ben 2.0 but he's not pro-EU so rock and hard place springs to mind.

      But, given the choice, as we will, at least the Corbster will do his bit for those in most need, and you can't argue with that, genuine unfortunates, not spongers obvs...

            Ms May submitting herself totally to the EU . That is kinky enough for Mr Green, I bet he would pop his member out of for that.
