One must keep in mind that the weasel word "backstop" is the opposite of what it purports to mean, and is actually the end point fully planned and intended by both the EU and Theresa May.
Thus any so called backstop which is permanent or extendable or its abolition or modification subject to EU approval is a total betrayal of Brexit and completely unacceptable.
Probably scattered around getting on with their lives. If any of them should ask me where all the "LOSERS" are today I shall point them towards the top end of this thread.

Hey, welcome to the thread. Thought you'd all done a runner like your MPs. Congrats on the success of the Brexit negotiations. Hope you're getting what you voted for. I'm loving the chaos in the Tory party; self destruct button well and truly pressed

Am I the only one who thinks this may have been TMs plan all along. For the first time last night she put 3 options on the table.
1. Accept the proposed deal
2. No deal.
3. Remain in the EU
As a remainer TM has played a corker. Deliver a deal so bad no one in their right mind will vote for it, as there is no hope of getting anything through parliament with the lack of a majority she has. The deal gets voted down so we are left with no deal, also not acceptable to parliament or stay in the EU. Hey presto she delivers what 48% of the people who voted in the referendum voted for (including herself) - staying in the EU. Blinding strategy...Or am I giving her more credit than she deserves.
She’s a reluctant remainer (only slightly less reluctant than Corbyn) and I don’t think she’s clever enough for the result to have been planned. Having said that, though, she’s got an offer on the table for what she wanted all along - an end to FoM. Anything else is just window dressing for her. Her only passion through her time at the Home Office, hostile environment and all that.
It’ll get dragged out to the end of the year until the EU asks if we’re signing, at which point the MPs will realise that it’s this, no deal, or no Brexit. We have inadequate planning for no deal, and the MPs have no balls for no Brexit, so they’ll come round and sign it off.
